We’d stay up all night ‘til morning
Surfing online, browsing the pages
We’d strike gold if we dug deeper
Maybe a file, maybe a lyric
And the loading times were long
But we had time…
Do you remember the websites
So wild and free, abundantly
And the forums
Where we would hang
with Star Wars fans
And we would chat on ICQ
And on the walls on MySpace too
The list goes on…
Do you remember the websites
The algorithms think they know us
“Check out this band”
“Order this smartwatch”
Everyone’s a brand, a product
Fishing for likes, fishing for follows
And we’re stuck in infinite scroll
It eats our time…
Do you remember the websites
So wild and free, abundantly
And the forums
Where we would hang
with Fallout fans
And we would chat on ICQ
And on the walls on MySpace too
The list goes on…
Do you remember the websites
Yeah, we would listen to the dial-up modem’s hissing in the night
We’d disagree sometimes
But never ever troll
Data traffic sees a tenfold rise
As tinfoil hats are spreading lies
Do you remember the websites
All cookie-free, abundantly
And the forums
Where we would hang
and discuss Pearl Jam
Oh, the websites
Where have they gone,
the apps have won
It’s a sandbox
We post our memes and make enemies
And everyone’s an expert now
And everyone’s a victim now
The list goes on…
The apps have won
Now there’s only one
Do you remember the websites
