My Role In The Arab Spring

from Seriously​?​! by Grant Sharkey

/

about

Tired of all the tyranny I was seeing Egypt, a place I used to live, I decided to show President Mubarak who's boss by clicking 'like' on Facebook on my iPhone...on the toilet.

lyrics

I was ill with the gastric flu when I heard the news that the Pharaoh was going to fall/Sat on the bog I read the facebook blogs - Egypt's rallying call (GO SLAVES!)/I pressed 'Like' to show my support for democracy's plight/But sat there in my rancid air, something inside me just didn't feel right.

(It wasn't the flu...that just made me poo)

Is this the path of human evolution? To save me from wiping before I join a revolution/Whilst people were dying, I thought I had done my bit/But all I did was like a f**king facebook page...in reality I hadn't done sh*t.

(Except for the obvious one in this story)

I make a pledge I'm going to think before I like it.
A new experience I swear I'm going to try it first.
Everyone's liking and nobody's loving it!

(which makes us collectively weak)

So if a cat looks like Hitler, LIKE IT.
If they're raping the NHS, GET OFF YOUR ASS!
If your friend's mum looks hot in a picture, LIKE IT!
Global human rights? GET OFF YOUR ASS!

OHHHLES.
