Friday, people gather near You played when no one was here Then some dude you never really liked Plays a song at the open mic A crowd forms and begins to cheer It's the worst times That define the alright Rain falls just as daylight ends Driving to go see some friends On the way you go and get a flat Why’s it always have to be like that Night’s gone, you’re alone again It’s the worst times That define the alright Sometimes it makes you want to cry Never got to say goodbye Understand you never really know When the ones you love are gonna go Keep them in front of your mind It’s the worst times That define the alright And it’s alright

Well I've been taking my vitamin c And getting enough sleep, but I still feel sick And I think it's cause I'm spending way too much time on the internet And I don't know what I would do if I had that time back But those horoscopes they make me choke and hack Those horoscopes they make me feel real bad Well I've been watching a little TV And taking it easy on my back and feet But I'm always feeling worn out, hammered down, half-there, and incomplete And I don't know if it's because I spend my time online But those other folks look like they're doing fine Those other folks sure look like they’re alright We’ve got an exit from our lives We’ve got a tunnel, but it’s not very bright Internet problems for internet times Building internet worlds, living internet lives I’m tryna get out more, I probably should Wish I could internet my way to feeling good Well I’ve making a big fool out of me Feeling uneasy, like I can’t compete And I think it’s ‘cause I’m trying to make my voice heard from across the street And I don’t know if anyone will hear what I’ve got to say But screaming it just makes me feel okay I know screaming it won’t make it go away Ultra-memetic, it feels so synthetic to me Is the fool in the front-facing camera who i wanted to be? I read every day, like the news, all the ways that we try to reduce nuanced issues to absolute truths and we do Internet problems for internet times Building internet worlds, living internet lives I’m tryna get out more, I probably should Wish I could internet my way to feeling good

about

“The Worst Times” finds its narrator encountering progressively worse life situations in each verse. Disheartened but matter-of-fact, the narrator waxes poetic about learning to roll with life’s punches.

"Internet Forever" ponders the multitudes of opportunities and anxieties that we face in a globally connected, rapidly changing world. Where do we fit in? How do we construct our identities among all of the trends, cultural shifts, technological milestones, and changing moors? The narrator is willing to accept that they are not entirely sure, and maybe none of us will ever be.
