Lyrics of Daniel Fiamengo – You’re an A**hole Now

So you wanted to be famous
You demanded to perform
Here’s an audience of strangers
They will never keep you warm

You can talk about yourself like they all hang on every word
Cling to all 200 followers to keep yourself assured

So you want to be important
You think “matter” is the goal
Just pretend that you know best and baby now you’re on a roll

But you might find that you’re not thought of like you must deserve to be
Spiral into a depression, just don’t dump your shit on me

So you want to fight for freedom
Show the people that you care
You think you can make a difference for all people everywhere

Sign petitions, steal opinions, post a caption-less black square
You’ve got all your bases covered, all you had to do was share

But you’re an asshole now
Can’t you see?
You’ve been transformed for the worse now
and they did it all for free

But if you look up to find that you’re not having any fun
You might think we’re in dystopia, it’s only just begun

So you want to change the system
Tell the people they’ve been wrong
There aren’t any consequences they will surely sing along

Get in arguments with strangers who don’t share your point of view
Well you’re clearly the messiah who would pick a fight with you?

So you want to find a lover
You think sex will set you free
They’ve got options in your area for you to go and see

Make a judgement with your fingers if they’re worth your precious time
Then go rub one out but not before you stalk your ex online (clean: then go run your mouth but not before you stalk your ex online)

And you’re an asshole now
Sad to say
You’re just a product of the system and the system’s here to stay

And if you look up to find you’re not the kid you used to be
That’s a real sad story, what a shame, now quit bothering me

Well a girl gave you a heartbreak
It’s so hard to be alone
Go write sexist manifestos
You’re a “nice guy” with a phone

You will never know or see the men you’ve raised on bitter words
But they’re out there, you can’t take back what you said when you were hurt

Well you’re an asshole now
Like I said
Just keep slaving, making content or you might as well be dead

And if ever you might find that you deserve a little more
You can leave but you cannot deny the things you can’t ignore

So just leave but you cannot deny the things you can’t ignore
