I Want to Be
An Influencer!

I want to be an influencer
I want to win a Pulitzer
I want to be a content creator
Or maybe instead an online hater
Or that guy on the boat...what's it?
Yes! The Master Baiter!
Hands smell like fish
But the people all wish
They had the pull that I do
The numbers of crowds who
Wanna make their mamas proud, too
With their special ability
//\\
I want to be an influencer
I want to go to Hollywood
I want to be a neuromancer
I want to change the world for good
Or bad
It don't matter to me
I just want your mo-mo-mo-mo-money
I'll dangle my bait
And you can bite
That's right...

I want to be an influencer
But I'm a card-carrying front-row-seater
Among the post-literate masses
We been sitting on our asses
In front of a screen
Being totally passive
While Al and his gang are being wildly aggressive
And now it's getting more and more oppressive
Because everything I can see
Says that what they're telling me
Is all I need to see
And it's all good and right and just
And I guess it must
Be
'Cuz it's all I can see
I think I 'll go tell all my friends
