🌐 "Bad Poast" (To the tune of "Fast Car")

(Verse 1)

You got a glowing screen

And I guess we're never getting out of here

I been staring at this unfiltered board all night

Watching every shred of dignity disappear

We won't ever look away

We'll scroll the archive till our eyes go blind

Stuck inside this toxic trap

Leaving our actual futures far behind

(Verse 2)

You see I hit refresh again

My billable hours slipping right away

Partners noticed that I didn't submit the brief

But I'm tracking the flame wars anyway

The poster "T14_Or_Bust" is begging for a job

Saying how the doc review left him behind

I want to wipe my cache and leave it all behind

But the malice has already warped my mind

(Chorus)

So I say, remember when we used to just lurk?

Before this board became a full-time piece of work

The doxxing threads started rolling in

Using real names just to get a win

The green light on my profile starts to glow

And I have a feeling that I’ll never let it go

A feeling that I’ll never let it go

(Verse 3)

You got a glowing screen

And we throw our lives and our careers away

Typing "180" and "heh" into the void

To a guy who hasn't left his house in days

He says he’s got the dirt on the hiring pool

Leaking emails that are vicious and cruel

And while someone's life is burning down in flames

We're laughing at the wreckage of the game

(Verse 4)

You see my mental health is completely shot

Checking character reports from ten years deep

The regulars are tracking our IPs now

Fueled by a hatred that will never sleep

A federal lawsuit unmasked a few heads

After an assassination went way too far

Now I’m deleting my history in a panic on my phone

Knowing that they know exactly who we are

(Chorus)

And I say, remember when we used to just lurk?

Before this board became a full-time piece of work

The doxxing threads started rolling in

Using real names just to get a win

The green light on my profile starts to glow

And I have a feeling that I’ll never let it go

A feeling that I’ll never let it go

(Verse 5)

You got a glowing screen

And we failed the bar and we lost our spine

Sitting here and typing out paragraphs of spite

While we throw our futures down the line

And me, I’m never getting out of this hell

I’m locking up the doors and staying inside

Gonna rot with the anons in the echo chamber walls

And let reality completely slide

(Verse 6)

You got a glowing screen

And you’ll never find a way to break the spell

The board's got its hooks deep inside our brains

And turned our actual lives into a hell

So stay and trade insults on the text-only site

There is no power button to slide

You're never logging off, you ruined your career

And watched it pass you by from inside
