Like Me, Like Me (The Facebook Song)

from Ladies a Plate by Andrew London Trio

/

about

Angry little ditty about the banalities encountered on social media.

lyrics

My palms are getting sweaty and my mouth is getting dry
I'm starting to hallucinate and spin
I gotta find find a laptop or an ipad or a phone
so I can get some social internetwork in

took a picture of my breakfast and posted it online
with some total stranger's iphone on the table next to mine
yeah it seems a little creepy now but I'm sure he would agree
cos it's unlikely he's as interesting as me

Like me, like me, be my friend, and read me every day
I know you hang on every word I have to say
share me, share me, share me with your friends cos they'll agree,
There's nobody quite as interesting as me

I'm desperate to post it's been an hour or maybe two
my friends will be beside themselves, they won't know what to do
they might forget I'm here, Oh God I can't be having that
so here's another picture of my fluffy pussy cat

here's some insipid saccharine saying from the Dalai Llama's book
that you may not find uplifting, but it serves to make me look
as if I'm centred and serene, in an enlightened sort of way
I'm spreading blessedness and wisdom here today

so who's your favourite movie star, and what's your favourite song? no wait, don't bother I’ll just tell you mine instead
then you can just agree with me, and comment if you like
but be sure you don't go crapping on my thread

I'm way too busy to be social , don't come knocking at my door
no point in calling on the phone, don't think I own one any more
and I never answer email, that would be so 'yesterday'
I'm on Facebook, each and all of every day
