​mxmtoon – ​​Life Online lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was six years old
When the internet came and it took a hold on me
YouTube was the first
To fully captivate me until i was submersed
In the internet
Stole my life before i knew it, but I guess I'm not upset
I'm generation Y
Yeah we lazy millennials, we don't even try

[Chorus]
Because our lives are online
And I gain validation from the likes on my Vines
Oh yeah, my life is online
13 reposts, what the hell? That's not fine

[Verse 2]
Tumblr came along
It was a little weird but I guess still good for this song
I even tried ask.fm
I asked my own questions, friends? I didn't have them
I scroll through Facebook
One can be impressive with political hooks
And I can't forget Snapchat
The filters clear my acne, though I look like a rat
And if I wanna know what I did last week
I can just go look on my Twitter feed
If my self-esteem's low
I'll go find some good lighting
Upload my face on Insta, oh, how exciting

[Chorus]
Yeah, my life is online
Gaining validation from the likes on my Vines
Oh yeah, my life is online
13 reposts, what the hell? That's not fine
Yeah, my life is online
I gain validation from the likes on my Vines
Oh yeah, my life is online
I'm internally invested but I guess that's fine
