On social media

When you care about the issues of the day And check your facts on Wikipedia You can and get into an argument right away If you're on social media The world is changing everywhere With a speed that couldn't be speedier But you feel so ahead of the curve When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media You're part of the conversation You're there in every debate From football, to religion, to contemporary art You're ready to pontificate While democracy is losing its way And greed is getting greedier Console yourself with a selfie or two And post them on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media My likes are in the thousands My tweets are being retweeted My family pics or holiday snaps With total love are greeted It's so nice when people like you You're feeling hashtag blessed You're part of the conversation It's like you passed the test When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media And sometimes you can fuel the debate By biting the hand that feeds you Expressing pure anonymous hate When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media When you're on social media I feel so empowered --- On Social Media - Pet Shop Boys
