Don't Be a Cyberbully

[Intro: MC Lars] So you want to use the internet? Be nice [Chorus: Wheatus & MC Lars] You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) [Verse 1: MC Lars] It's never okay to post rumors or threats To spread lies about your peers, or send harassing texts Impersonating people, sharing private information Photoshopping pictures, to cause humiliation Cracking someone's password, or hacking their account Stealing people's credit cards and charging large amounts These things are illegal, you might end up in prison Don't Snapchat while you drive, it might impair your vision Don't be a grumpy grouch or a misanthropic chump Say nice things on the internet, don't be like Donald Trump Politics on Facebook can be so polarizing When friends and families start to post opinions so surprising (Don't enter the flame wars!) You can always close the screen Go out for a walk instead of being mean When it comes to online etiquette take Ash and my advice Don't talk that trash on YouTube just because you hate your life! [Chorus: Wheatus & MC Lars] You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) [Verse 2: Ash Wednesday] When I was just a little girl my daddy told me "A bully is a kid who takes your lunch money" Looking at my screen I miss the good ol' days When you could see a bully coming, and walk the other way (bye!) We're living in a world where we're ethically connected To mean tweets, live feeds, rude comments on Reddit We could all be nicer, I think we're well aware So I've developed a list of kind things you might share A selfie of you hanging with your grandparent A status about how a seed grows when you plant it Beautiful landscapes, sunset photos Water refracting light twice, double rainbows Chihuahuas in tutus dancing on their hind legs A mountain lion and a dolphin making friends? First Sunday of May, a nice shout out to your mother College ball half court buckets at the buzzer [Chorus: Wheatus & MC Lars] You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) [Verse 3: MC Lars] Lorraine had strong opinions on the Second Amendment And anyone who disagreed with her she unfriended With every single click she felt like a hero Till she woke up one day and her friend count was zero [Verse 4: Ash Wednesday] Back in '04, there was a really mean blog Written by girls who hated Katy's songs Ten years later, they couldn't get tickets Her show at the garden sold in two minutes [Verse 5: MC Lars] Sam was from LA, trolling every day Telling girls on Instagram that they should watch their weight Drinking Mountain Dew as he crafted every post Till he gained a thousand pounds, and couldn't leave his home [Verse 6: Ash Wednesday & MC Lars & Both] When we hear the word troll we think mean and unstable Not cute plastic dolls, with jewels in their navels Zenophobic tweets, or racist Pepe memes Are not what Lars and me, want to see up on our feeds [Chorus: Wheatus & MC Lars] You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully) You've gotta be kind, to people online A good friend is what you might find You've gotta be kind, to people online (Don't be a, don't be a, don't be a cyberbully)
