[Intro, Spoken] Remember when it was just a joke? Just pixels… just memes… Yeah. Now turn on the news. [Verse 1, Harsh Male] Back in the day it was dumb little posts, Cats on keyboards, internet jokes. Forum threads and comment fights, Late night scrolls and viral clips. “Yeah right” in the comment thread, Pepe faces, clown world spread. We laughed at things that made no sense, Now the same stuff makes the press. [Pre-Chorus, Female Clean] Was it prophecy or parody? Just another viral fantasy… But the punchline left the screen And stepped into reality. [Chorus, Female Clean + Male Harsh] WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE MEMES BECOME REAL! The joke stops landing When the headlines seal the deal! WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE PUNCHLINE TURN TO NEWS! We laughed at the madness— NOW WE’RE STUCK IN THE FEED! [Verse 2, Harsh Male] Deepfakes talking like they’re true, Clips cut short with missing proof. Trending tags decide the fight, Random nobody famous overnight. Screenshots travel faster than facts, Hot takes stacked in endless tabs. Scroll long enough through every feed, Soon the joke becomes the lead. [Pre-Chorus, Female Clean] Satire melts into prophecy, Truth drowned in absurdity. Every joke we used to share Now walks the world out there. [Chorus, Female Clean + Male Harsh] WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE MEMES BECOME REAL! The joke stops landing When the headlines seal the deal! WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE PUNCHLINE TURN TO NEWS! We laughed at the madness— NOW WE’RE STUCK IN THE FEED! [Verse 3, Harsh Male] Bots in the comments yelling loud, Half the voices aren’t a crowd. AI faces selling lies, Fake accounts farming replies. Someone shouting “main character now,” NPCs just scrolling down. Ratio fights and outrage loops, Clicks decide what counts as truth. [Bridge, Female Clean → Crowd Chant] POST IT SHARE IT WATCH IT TURN REAL POST IT SHARE IT WATCH IT TURN REAL [Breakdown, Male Guttural] THE FEED BECOMES THE FUTURE! THE MEME BECOMES THE NEWS! THE JOKE BECOMES THE HEADLINE! THE TRUTH IS WHAT WE CHOOSE! [Final Chorus, Female Clean + Male Harsh] WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE MEMES BECOME REAL! The joke stops landing When the headlines seal the deal! WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE PUNCHLINE TURN TO NEWS! We laughed at the madness— NOW WE’RE STUCK IN THE FEED! [Final Chorus – Repeat] WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE MEMES BECOME REAL! WHEN YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE PUNCHLINE TURN TO NEWS! WE LAUGHED AT THE MADNESS WE CALLED IT A JOKE— NOW THE MADNESS IS RUNNING THE WORLD THAT WE SCROLL! [Outro, Spoken] Post it. Share it. Watch it turn real.
