Whatever Happened to Kindness lyrics
Verse 1
There are trolls living under Facebook’s bridge
That’s the beast they want to encourage
Angry posts get the biggest reaction
and happy posts don’t get any traction
Also Twitter may be even worse
Anger and hate are free expressions curse
Is this just the price we pay
for having social media in our lives today?
Chorus
Whatever happened to kindness?
Whatever happened to care?
Can we put this meanness behind us
and repair this state of affairs?
Verse 2
PT Barnum put it so well
underestimating our taste really does sell
Being outraged puts the blinders on
and sadly makes us susceptible to cons
Snake oils not just sold be Facebook
Politicians use the same old playbook
Scapegoating makes it all a bad guys fault
Can we bring all this anger and hate to a halt
Chorus
Bridge
If you look, there’s lots of good to be found
Concentrate on it and your heart will rebound
The burdens of life will be easier to bear
and you can live the life that you dare
