My Facebook (Brings All the Boys To the Yard)
A dance-y tune about the powers of the internet.
Singer songwriter from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I'm a songwriter born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I play bass for my band, This Machine Kills Fascists. My music is pretty much the most important thing in my life.
Story behind the song
A song assignment for Grant MacEwan. A "novelty song" that turned into more of a social commentary than anything else.
Lyrics
I log in to the internet
To check my email once again
Nigerian royalty
Is trusting me with cash to spend
And all these suppliments and diet pills
I'm told I need to buy
Through shady online pharmacies
That's really no concern of mine, cause...
My Facebook, Myspace, look
It's not only a trend
My Facebook, Myspace, look
I've made so many friends
(Face. Book. My. Space.)
Dan is at the swimming pool (8 minutes ago)
Sue is working out (15 minutes ago)
Tim is in the bathroom cause his guts are spilling out (8 hours ago)
Joe is making taco salad (12 hours ago)
Gwen is kind of bored (20 hours ago)
Tina is way too drunk to be on the internet anymore (Yesterday)
These videos on youtube are consuming all the time in every day
I spend hour after hour clicking on all the videos that are on display
The dancers and guitarists and comedians make me feel like I'm the one
When I post my own video reply it always gets rated a one, but...
My Facebook, Myspace, look
It's not only a trend
My Facebook, Myspace, look
I've made so many friends
My Facebook, Myspace, look
They're with me 'till the end
My Facebook, Myspace, took
My social life again
I post a blog and wait for all the comments to roll in
A well placed kudos makes a difference to a friend
I never knew anyone, no, I never knew anyone who didn't like my space.
(I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
A world of constant change demands a hefty price
But you being on my top 8 is natural as fire or ice
