• Becoming Youtube was a waste of time

You had friends
You had a family
A degree in TV
You were gonna go far
You were young (no, not young)
You were keen
Upwardly mobile
And you gave it all up (no)
And I traded it in
For a DSLR (Hey good I like that. Don't worry about it)
So you bid them adieu (no)
So you said your farewell
And you dyed your hair well
To get all the girls to like you (no, hm)
To get all the boys to like you (no)
(To fit in at all the parties? Yes Hayden I like that! Yeah thanks Hayden!)
To fit in at all the parties
(It's true though. Go on)
But all that I've done
Is accidentally become
Another member of the fucking YouTube Digerati
I used to be in awe of all the glamour
I used to think YTing was sublime
But now I'm in the thick of it
I'm feeling like a prick a bit
Becoming YouTube was a waste of time!
You thought you'd get
Some good discussion
You thought the world would gather round
And type out LOL before your eyes
But that was then
And now I've seen it
That any of you idiots can type at all's a surprise
And though your hugs are all free
You should be paying for me
To make you feel less gross and lonely
I never want to attend
Another gathering my friend
They're like a weirdo-touching ceremony.
I thought I'd meet some interesting people
I thought at least the people would be fine
But you've all flipped your lids
And still that's only the kids.
Becoming...
And who would seek
This demographic?
It isn't healthy for the soul
Although you're making some dough
And in five years
Maybe a decade
You'll be on BBC3 presenting some shitty show
I'd rather dangle than this
Why did I angle for this?
How can you fangirl for this I don't know!
Send presents to those who take care of you!
Not someone who'd eat their own hair for views!
(Do people like that actually exist? I don't know, but it's provocative. It's not, it's gross! Gets the people going!)
And so you're done
With entertaining
This is the last you'll hear of me and yes my future is bleak.
But don't be sad
You'll soon forget me
When some other boy with hair starts up a channel next week
And he'll be cute and outragious
With a laugh that's contagious
And a catchphrase that's enduring
For maybe one month or two
Until you find someone new
Who has a face that's even more alluring

-A stranger baked a cake for me!
-I just got told I'm gay
-I'm on a BuzzFeed list of boys whose hair gets in the way
-I can't keep up with all the hate
-Your comments make me ill
-I ship you guys
-I hate your thighs
-I'm first!
-You suck
-AMAZINGPHIL!

Who cares about the words their stupid mouths make?
Who cares if in the past they've done a crime?
The thoughts that you choose
Won't really impact your views.
Becoming...

My life is empty once again
This crazy YT fame ain't all it's meant to be
What can Ben leaving us mean?
Now who'll be the Jack to my Dean?
I'm not happy right now
Gotta change it somehow
My world is monochrome again
Who'll fix the sub-box now that Ben has gone?
Who'll help legitimise our platform to the wider world if he goes?

You saw a chance to gain a reputation (I did!)
I saw an opportunity to shine
I used to feel number one
But now it's stopped being fun
Becoming...
I guess being a dork is what I do now
What else have I got left to get me by?
Don't get your life wrong
Remember what's in the song
Becoming YT is a total
Time consuming, money sucking
Weird, confusing and frustrating
Hyperfucking interdating
Sneaky, bitchy
Freaky, glitchy

Don't forget misogynistic! (Fuck off Lex!)
Waste of time!
