Story behind the song
I have a small home business I'm trying to develop; in today's world, all businesses are told they MUST make use of new technology in marketing. I wasn't a person who would normally want to spend hours on social media, but it seems that spending time there is becoming important for many business people . . . so like it or not . . . :)
Lyrics
SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
Verse 1
THE WORLD OUT THERE, IT CALLS TO ME
IT SAYS, “COME JOIN YOUR HEART TO ME,
AND TELL ME ALL THE THINGS
INSIDE YOUR MIND.”
IN THE WORLD OUT THERE, THERE IS SUCCESS
WITH FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND PINTEREST
AND EVERYONE WHO KNOWS YOU LEAST
IS GONNA THINK YOU’RE DOING FINE
THE BLOGGERS MAKE A STEADY HUM
THEY ALL CALL OUT, “JUST COME! JUST COME!”
IT’S ALL A BIG AND NOISY SOUND
I’M ONE MORE VOICE WITHIN THE CROWD
Chorus
IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
GOT DRAGGED KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THIS
SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
Verse 2
IF I COULD SEND YOU A DIRECT TWEET
MAYBE WE COULD ACTUALLY MEET
AND WE MIGHT REALLY NETWORK WELL . . .
TIME WILL TELL
I’D LIKE TO HELP YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU
BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH I CAN DO
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE MY MESSAGE IS TOSSED
LIKE A BOTTLE IN THE SEA
I SAW MY FRIEND THIS AFTERNOON
WE LAUGHED AND TALKED, SANG SOME TUNES
SPOKE OF KIDS AND IPAD GAMES
OF GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE Chorus
IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
GOT DRAGGED KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THIS
SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
Verse 3
I’D LIKE TO SEND SOME LOVE TO YOU
I’D LIKE TO TOSS SOME PEACE IN, TOO
SLIP THEM INTO A SILICON CHIP
THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THROUGH A BIT
IF I COULD, THAT’S WHAT I’D DO
BUT I DON’T THINK IT WOULD GET THROUGH
YOU’LL HAVE TO READ THOSE
ONES AND ZEROES ANYWAY, INSTEAD
CAUSE IT’S A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
GOT DRAGGED KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO
THIS SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS . . .
SOCIAL MEDIA RULES . . .
SOCIAL MEDIA TAGS . . .
SOCIAL MEDIA TIME LAGS . . .
ELECTRONIC POSTS . . .
SOCIAL MEDIA FROM COAST TO COAST
IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD . . .
(spoken) SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
