I Want Roblox To Be Ok

[Verse 1] You built a little city out of blocks and light Race cars, pizza shops, staying up all night Everybody dancing with a name they made Neon little paradise inside the arcade And I wanna say, “Go play, it’s all right” I wanna let the screen glow soft at night But every smiling stranger gets another name And I don’t know who is waiting in the game [Pre-Chorus] You put another lock on the door Another warning sign on the floor I see you trying, baby, I do But who keeps watching who? [Chorus] Oh, I want Roblox to be okay I want the kids to laugh and play I want the bright lights, not the warning signs No grown-up shadows hiding online I want Roblox to be all right Just building castles Friday night But you can change the rules and clean the display I still can’t look the other way Oh, I want Roblox to be okay But Roblox isn’t okay [Verse 2] New parental controls in a polished parade Age checks shining like a brand-new blade Filters getting smarter, chat getting tight Still somebody whispers, “Meet me somewhere outside” A little bit of Robux and a compliment A friendly little message with a bad intent The danger doesn’t always wear a villain’s face Sometimes it asks you to leave the safer place [Pre-Chorus] You put another lock on the door But they’ve been finding windows before I see you trying, baby, I do But who keeps watching who? [Chorus] Oh, I want Roblox to be okay I want the kids to laugh and play I want the bright lights, not the warning signs No grown-up shadows hiding online I want Roblox to be all right Just building castles Friday night But you can change the rules and clean the display I still can’t look the other way Oh, I want Roblox to be okay But Roblox isn’t okay [Bridge] Don’t make the children carry What the company should know Don’t tell me danger’s somewhere else Just because they moved the conversation off the road You made the party You built the room You sold the tickets You chose who could move So turn up the music But turn on the lights A safer little future Shouldn’t take another lawsuit to get right [Breakdown] Come on, now— Check that chat Check that door Who’s that account talking to a ten-year-old? Come on, now— Bright new badge Fresh update Tell me why I still feel five steps late [Final Chorus] Oh, I want Roblox to be okay I want the kids to laugh and play I want the bright lights, not the warning signs No grown-up shadows hiding online I want Roblox to be all right Safe in the morning, safe at night Not “safer than before,” not “mostly today” I need more than a press release to say That Roblox is okay I want Roblox to be okay Oh, I really want Roblox to be okay But wanting doesn’t make it that way [Outro] Keep the roller skates turning Keep the little worlds bright But somebody better watch the door Every day, every night I want Roblox to be okay I do I really do
