(Verse 1) Woke up this morning, checked my phone A brand new crypto, gotta make it my own Heard about Hive, they said it's the future, it's free Decentralized social, sounds good to me Logged in, I'm ready, ready to engage But wait, what's this on the very first page? Four different keys, a password, and a PIN My head is spinning, where do I even begin? (Chorus) Oh, the Hive Keys, they're a mystery Like a secret code, a confusing history Posting, active, owner, and memo One for each action, where do I go? I just wanna post a picture of my cat Why do I need a key for that? Freedom's supposed to be simple and true But these Hive Keys, they're a puzzle to get through (Verse 2) I tried to share a post, used my posting key "Invalid signature," it said back at me "Use your active key," a helpful person wrote I tried that, now my account's a sinking boat I sent a tip to a friend, or so I thought The transaction failed, all for naught My memo key, they said, I should have used I'm just a user, feeling abused (Chorus) Oh, the Hive Keys, they're a mystery Like a secret code, a confusing history Posting, active, owner, and memo One for each action, where do I go? I just wanna post a picture of my cat Why do I need a key for that? Freedom's supposed to be simple and true But these Hive Keys, they're a puzzle to get through (Bridge) They say the owner key's the master of all The power to change everything, stand or fall And the posting key's for everyday fun Active for votes, 'til the day is done The memo key's for private chats, you see But my brain is scrambled, it's all Greek to me I just wanna join the revolution, be a part But these keys are breaking my digital heart (Guitar Solo - high-energy, classic rock solo with a slightly frantic, chaotic feel) (Outro) So I'm back at square one, my mind in a haze Lost in this key-filled, decentralized maze I'll get it one day, I know that it's true But for now, I'll just post on Web 2.0 Hive Keys, you're a pain, but I'll figure you out Or maybe I'll just write a song and shout About the freedom tools that are hard to learn A lesson in patience, a lesson to burn Yeah, the Hive Keys... they're a wild, wild ride.
