We're Mastodon

A song I'm writing with the idea of doing a kind of federated "We Are the World" kind of recording.

Lyrics

Do you sometimes feel the world has gone insane?
All the worst people are taking all the best...
With dogwhistles a-blowin' a chill right through your soul
as civilization sets slowly in the West.

Well let me tell you something - there's a place where you can go
Where sending people death-threats is actually not okay
Nazis, Klan, mansplainers, TERFs, and assholes are shown the door
Sorry that's redundant, but I have to say....

Leave tweeting for the birds
Come join the federation
There's sharks and lots of gay for you and meeee
We're marching hand in hand
All across our scary nation
Well anyway at least metaphoricalleeee.....

Chorus
We're Mastodon, we're Mastodon
We don't care how they carry on
We're Mastodon, their frozen fruit is in the waste bin
We're Mastodon, we're Mastodon
We won't miss them when they're gone
They're free to dump their speech all over PasteBin.

You don't have to be a star
To get our validation
I mean, lots of us don't even watch teeveeee...
Just keep your shitposts short
lewd selfies in moderation
and make sure that you've read the CoC.
