The Social Media Age

Have you ever stopped for just a second

To remember the days before we were beckoned

To a world so unrecognisable from when we were young

What’s that you say, your iphone just rung?

It’s like your iphone gives life like the Joshua tree

Whatever happened to the infamous Beattie from BT?

Times have moved on, with or without your voice

And now whatever you choose is a digital choice

We’re in the internet age, and there’s nowhere to hide

And why would you want to, it’s an incredible ride

But don’t act like a lack of service is a total disgrace

Get real people, this magic is coming from space!

Ok Beattie ‘it’s good to talk’, but now we talk too much

Cos there’s too many platforms for us to get in touch

Nobody cares whether you’re bored or tired.com

Or ‘that awkward moment’ when you caught your knob in your cdRom

And of course nothing’s finished until you #hashtag it

Like you’ve just discovered an untapped source of wit

facebook, twitter, LinkedIn and, remember mySpace?

A poor forerunner and now social media’s welfare case

Every one exists for self-importance and promotion

And in this day and age this is such a normal notion

But just cos today social media is taught in school

It will still expose you if you’re a massive tool
