lyrics

"interwebs fucked up everything"

The interwebs fucked up everything,
and that’s the truth you know?
Yeah the interwebs fucks up everything,
I wish we could just let it go.

Before the interwebs, we all lived in a world of harmony and peace.

All was perfect – the sky was forever blue.

There was no racism. Sure there was civil wars, slavery, and colonialism, but there was no racism because there was no interwebs. It's true!

And everyone who wanted to had a job because their job hadn’t been replaced by an app on the interwebs.

All was perfect, and the people we voted to be President of the free world could read and do basic mathematics. Wouldn't that be special? But then the interwebs fucked it.

Because the interwebs fucked up everything,
that’s the truth you know?
Yeah the interwebs fucks up everything,
I wish we could just let it go.

And the children ate of the candied air that grew on the trees, as the birds sang Led Zeppelin songs. And all the beer was free.

Then the interwebs fucked it. Made us all watch porn twelve hours a day, or maybe that’s just me, it’s hard to be objective there. There’s this thing Red Tube, but anyway I've gone off the point.

And Facadebook made us all friendless because we’re all competing for friends on Facadebook, like Twits.

And we have to join the groups, and the people still crying about Prince. I mean David Bowie sure, but Prince? Move on. Get over it. And George Michael - I've not faith in that argument, I’m not going there, I'm not touching that.

But when Daryl Somers is gone we’ll know it the interwebs is to blame. When David Hasselhoff is no longer with us we’ll be able to say that the interwebs fucked up everything, again.

And then there’s that whole thing with Putin and Trump and Cambridge Analytics and Qanon and the death of journalism and the fake death tax.

Because the interwebs fucked up everything,
that’s the truth you know?
Yeah the interwebs fucked up everything,
I wish we could just let it go.
Well the interwebs fucked up everything,
that’s the truth you know?
Yeah the interwebs fucked up everything,
I wish we could just let it go.

I should have had a Wikileak.

Suburban Bukowskis Sydney, Australia

Upbeat, folky, funny neo-beatnik tales of failure, fun, and excess in the wild inner-west are trademark of the narrative poem-songs (or pongs) penned by award-winning playwright and poet, Benito Di Fonzo. Accompanied by veteran bassist Mike Sheehan, drummer Justine Wahlin, and lead guitarist Pete Fenwick. Rhum.org.au called Benito's writing, "Clever, witty, sharp and surreal.” " ... more
