I know how this goes
Social media – a slippery slope
Lots of information, keeps you on your toes
I know how this goes
I know how this goes
Someone trusted has once laughed at Snopes
And your friends are smarter than your foes
And you’re smarter than average Joe
I know how this goes
Bill Gates’ name will surely be invoked
When I question, an offended moue
A suggestion to read up – no more
You have research on YouTube to show
All the while my disengagement grows
I say “science” and you say “I know”
scary times, under a microscope
this is how, it’s such a human trope
tell a villain story and then stoke
all the feelings, reel them in, how broke
information, media system, go
try and fix it, fail, it’s too big, low-
key give up, pray we stop this – hope…..
do you know, do you also know
do y’all know how this goes
