MC Lars, Wheatus, Ash Tell Em - Don't Be a Cyberbully lyrics

So you want to use the internet? Be nice

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)

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!

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)

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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)
