LYRICS: Like a Chris Brown fan or girlfriend free speech is under attack and so like Hannah Storm folks are trying to find the best way to push back But I won't care tomorrow and I did not care yesterday Is there anything I can do to pretend that I care today?
I need a hashtag I need a hashtag on display Yeah I'll tweet to the world "#BringBackOurGirls and Boko Haram will be like "okay!" I need a hashtag I need a hashtag for today to show that I care when I really don't care and that's just what I'm doing today faking outrage
Sure there are lots of people who really care about the fight but anyone who tweeted these should probably be disqualified Should we try to fight for change? Embrace more freedom here at home?
Or should we use the most effective tool mankind has ever known? We need a hashtag How about a hashtag and call it a night? it's both a mnemonic and a catastrophic extremist-destroying device
We need a hashtag A hashtag will bring them to their knees Even though it's been said that the First Amendment wasn't written to protect pleasantries
