Chorus

The internet used to be funny but now it's not
The internet used to be funny but now it's not
Disconnect me from the internet
I'm getting sick and stressed
Me need to sit and rest

Verse 1 (Boy Pierce)

I remember was cool to friend a friend from high school
A nice dude, now he post political views
And people sit and they stew, I want a funny video
Maybe animals doing back flips, versus tragic
Depressing statements, typing in the basement
On a sunny day, I would rather run away
To the park or the beach or just start on some beats
Hit the arcade or the library, offline carry
Conversation, call your mom on her born day
Don't post a paragraph, that's a sore play
Enjoy the concert...enjoy the ballgame
You were publicizing it and missed the long play
I miss leprechauns in Mobile, Alabama
I miss Salad fingers and I think I wanna hand a
Resignation to the memes and the GIFs
Lift up my spirits once again, these ain't real 1,000 friends 'cause

Chorus

Verse 2 (Boy Pierce)

Kermit sipping tea...prefer him on the screen
Jordan crying tears...prefer him earning cheers
Wily Wonka..Most Interesting Man
I prefer an Everlasting Gobstopper in my hand
Versus mobile device, I slouch when I type
I'm being so rude to peeps in the room
Cram it in the couch cushion, man I ain't about looking
Silly on the street watching video on screen
Social media a mess with the trolls
Seems I'm getting more depressed as I scroll
People check it while in line Trader Joe's
On elliptical they glide and they post
Vacation photos, you should go relax
Placate and forego 'cause we're going mad
Have a conversation with a human being
And I'm guilty myself, turn this off and rebel

Chorus

Verse 3 (MC Lars)

Remember whistle tips? Remember Chocolate Rain?
It was 2003 before the internet was lame
Nerdcore was new I was riding on a wave
To make my second album cost this kid $30k
Anyway nowadays you can get a Fiverr mix
For a twenty spot and post it up and get a million hits
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing now that everyone’s a rapper
But our cultures in decline - steaming live, cue the laughter
And back before Napster, we’d trade mp3s
On Zip Discs, I’m serious, we’d watch MTV
for the music - yo that’s crazy, then the gates got smashed
Streaming killed the record stores - we knew they’d never last
Frontalot showed me Twitter back in 2008
Now it’s wrecking mad careers like a trip to Watergate
Heard Roseanne lost her show, poppin’ Ambien she’s frantic
RIP the internet, Boy Pierce, you know, it’s tragic !
