I've Wandered YouTube Since Childhood...

I've wandered YouTube since childhood,
With no place to call my own...
Oh, why did the internet appear,
Before my mother gave birth to me...

And when I logged out of Facebook
And went to get a job at a factory,
The foreman turned me away at the office,
well, whatever, there's no Wi-Fi signal there!

And I went off wandering Google,
I started trawling through comments.
Through other people's bourgeois comments
I began scrounging cheap likes.

Once I came across a cautious gentleman,
—he banned me on the spot...
Facebook took no time to sort things out
And slapped a block on me!

I broke out of prison, just a boy,
—a new username, no friends, no blah-blah...
Oh, why did the internet appear,
Before my mother gave birth to me!
