The Internet Equalizer

It's a tragic relief
when our beliefs
pull these tricks out their sleeves
and defeat
our daily lives with deceit
such a treat
for a gaggle of gossip queens...

Go ahead, and tell all of your friends
that I'm not the man you fell in love with, won't you?
Go ahead, go ahead and shove your told you so's
right back in my face like you've wanted...to do.

I'm laying my swords down now...
I've lost the battle long ago and I'll come down
from this high horse I've been ridin' for so long.
You've pelted me a good one
and I'll admit, I'm a better man for it all
and I thank you.

So go ahead and tell all of your friends,
that I'm not quite the man you fell in love with, won't you?
Go ahead, just go ahead and toss your hair
and walk away with that wiggle of 'fuck you'.

But you know it's a hard thing to swallow, baby,
that for such minor things you'd break a man, and then some.
So I hope you don't mind that video that "we'll keep secret"
is now available in the public domain, and you're welcome.
