Facebook Blues

I look at my facebook
And I see bad news all day
I look at my facebook
And I see bad news all day
No angry emoticons
Are gonna drive that news away

People in West Papua
Are cut down for standing up
People in West Papua
Are cut down for standing up
Politicians’ heads are buried
Anonymous has had enough

The grand old reef is dying
All for a lump of coal
That grand old reef is dying
And all for a lump of coal
Gotta wonder sometimes
If politicians have a soul

School kids are bullied
Cause they tried to be themselves
School kids are bullied
Cause they tried to be themselves
Conservatives are worried
That Safe Schools mean they’ll fry in Hell

They’re logging the old forests
And those possums don’t have no home
They’re logging the old forests
And those possums don’t have no home
Well if they keep on logging
Well soon all be all dead old bones

Can’t go to the bathroom
Unless I’m what they want me to be
Can’t go to the bathroom
Unless I’m what they want me to be
Ain’t gonna let that stop me
Cause all I’m trying to do is pee

Children thrown in prison
Cause they’re fleeing something bad
Children thrown in prison
Cause they’re fleeing something bad
No ‘mount of paranoia
Is gonna stop me from holding their hand

I look at this road I’m walkin’
And I ask if I have liberty
I look at this road I’m walkin’
And I ask if I have liberty
I’m tied up in knots from tryin’
Lucifer won’t you set me free

Gonna set facebook on fire
And release all these chains that bind
Gonna set facebook on fire
And release all these chains that bind
Turn awareness into passion
It’s up to us to help our lights to shine
