Never Read the Comments Songtext
von MC Frontalot

You don′t want to catalog all the times you had it all
Figured out and sorted in to its optimal position
Had the optional mess of it
Here it is, I hope you like it
Hope there's somebody listening

Then well but your sight alighted on the side
It said "discuss," shiny pixels click to plus
Many comments, what a fuss
You′re nothing but a catalyst
To sage discussion among learned peers
About the finds on here
Peruse a couple and the floor disappears

You get despised and disparaged
Is this normal? Let it go
A single toe dipped in the fester hole
Subject's undertow
As if to know your worth itself became debatable
As if anything could be wonderful enough to be unhateable


Never read the comments
Never read 'em, never
Never read the comments
Just don′t need ′em, never
Never read the comments
Never read 'em, never
Never read the comments
Never read the comments

Original poster′s mom should get AIDS and then kill herself
If that isn't still enough impact on a bill of health
Poisonous vulgar slurs protruding in and out
Because of whatever original poster posted about
And also because of how original poster said it
Who original poster is, let′s just admit that
A particular type of whatever they are
Setting the bar as low as we do
They duck it by far

That anyone smart could suffer a thought
That you're not garbage is reason enough
We don′t move on to the harder targets
Now that you're tarnished
Our point has been made
Visit where the comment section is
Our internet, you're in it


Never read the comments
Never read ′em, never
Never read the comments
Just don′t need 'em, never
Never read the comments
Never read ′em, never
Never read the comments
Never read the comments

I guess I might have had enough of these posted fisticuffs
To discuss with the posters there and my shared neuroses
Pardon my halitosis of ideology and expression
But I'll admit I′m disgusted a little bit by your aggression
My confession's intangible, write it instead to memory
I hold myself to the highest ideals, yet I′m sometimes settling
I read 'em if they write 'em
Well, can′t always recommend it

I hope you don′t have a bad batch, you get upended
Hope you don't vent it back at your dearest of dear hell internet
That was just an internet, don′t be inconsiderate
Don't get in the thick of it
You don′t gotta read 'em
Robots will keep ′em archived for you
But you'll never need 'em

Never read the comments
Never read ′em, never
Never read the comments

You don′t need 'em, never
Never read the comments

Instead delete ′em, never
Never read the comments
Never read the comments
Never read the comments
Never read 'em, never
Never read the comments

You don′t need 'em, never
Never read the comments
Instead delete ′em, never
Never read the comments
Never read the comments

Counterpoint: always read the comments
I mean, you know, if your emotional health permits

Never write the comments
That's the thing to never do
Never write the comments

Not the ones that we're discussing here

I mean, do write comments and read comments all the time
The internet′s great
I mean, I don′t know how to describe it
It's the internet, check it out
There′s, you know, there should be something on there for you
There should be something on there for you
The internet, check it out

I got the internet today
It's everything you′ve heard and more
It's been waiting for you
