I'm Afraid Of The Internet

(album: Inside Voices / Outside Voices - 2022)

Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet

I'm afraid of the internet
And the crazy shit that people say
When they're hiding behind a mask
And they're hungry, and horny, and up too late

I'm afraid that we can't go back
This big machine's too bad to break
I'm afraid of the things I did
One day, they'll post all my mistakes

All my mistakes

Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet
Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet

Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet
Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa

God, it's hard to be innocent
When the world keeps showing you its dick
And disaster is imminent
Getting sicker and stranger with every click

I'm afraid that we've gone too far
This big machine is too broke to fix
I'm afraid of the things I saw
Some things you just cannot forget

You can't forget
You can't forget
You can't forget

Scared of spiders, scared of people dying in their sleep
So I googled, "Can you have a heart attack at 33?"
First, I looked at Reddit then I looked around at WebMD
Saw a list of all the symptoms, asked myself, "Could this be me?"

Then I clicked a picture of an actress that I never knew
She had recently died tragically, she drowned at Lake Piru
I started crying and I wondered if that's a normal thing to do
So I searched the five stages of grief
And found a link to something cute, it was a meme

Of a dog, in a bikini at the beach
In big white letters at the bottom
It said, "Follow your dreams"

So I got up to take some action, feeling
High on self-esteem
But then the high it started crashing
So I turned back to the screen
And I started to scream

Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet
Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet

Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet
Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa
I'm afraid of the internet

I'm afraid
(Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa)
I'm afraid
(Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa)

I'm afraid, so afraid
(Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa)
I'm afraid
(Ba, ba-da-ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba, whoa)
