Talking Facebook Blues (original)

Well, I heard James Easter say that if you can write a song everybody can relate to, it'll be a hit. Here's a song that I think at least everybody from my generation can relate to. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics:
Gather round people and I'll give you the news
It's a song called the Talkin' Facebook Blues
I'll tell you how Mr. Zuckerberg's creation
Is invading our homes and sweepin' our nation
Sure made him a rich man
Drivin' the rest of us to ruin

I'll tell you how it used to be
When you had something you thought your friends oughta see
You'd go visit 'em or give 'em a call
But now you just write all over their wall
Used to get in trouble for that when I was little
Now everybody does it

You got people poking you left and right
And someone's always tryin' to pick a fight
And if your girl posts somethin' and you don't click like
You'll wind up single by the end of the night
Or in the hospital
Relationship status: permanently maimed

And as sure as I'm here talkin' to you
Now everybody knows everything I do
They know where I'm at and where I been
I got 10,000 friends but I only know 10
Perhaps friends is too strong a word
People who I have made eye contact with

Now I must admit, though I've complained
Facebook keeps me entertained
Who needs to see a movie when you can watch the drama
Between your brother, sister, dad, and momma
Now excuse me
I think I'll go update my status

Great work! Sorry that it took so long to get around to viewing this one, but good satire doesn't get old very often (certainly not in two months...). A very fine talking blues.

@TimMcMullen Thank you!

LOVE IT!!! Tom Paxton would have a big smile on his face! (Can you tell I'm from a different generation?) You are so talented. Don't ever stop singing and playing and writing! My best to you, Moppet
