X

… Logged into Twitter just the other day
Just saw a Big X, seems the bird had flown away
It had two lines and one was double wide
I knew the letter, but I just could not surmise
… Musk didn’t leave a number, not an picture or a clue
But something in that pictogram reminded me of coup

Baby, Musk put the X on top
Voided years of trust and it makes me wanna stop
Baby, Musk put the X on top
Twitter’s going bye-bye, baby, ’cause the branding’s gonna flop

… I saw a sign in the middle of the night
Big flashing X, I was blinded by the light
She said “Oh yeah, you don’t want to be here
I asked who was calling, but she just hung up in fear
… Sometimes you gotta suffer for the network that you seek
You’re beggin’ for connection but you only want to shriek

Baby, Musk put the X on top
Voided years of trust and it makes me wanna stop
Baby, Musk put the X on top
He thinks he is a master, but he just can’t compare to Aesop
… Oh yeah

I heard an app a-beepin’ so I clicked into the pane
It showed icons, pics, emojis, it’s like it was built to feign
It said that it was “happening“, but it didn’t give a clue
Then I saw that white on black X and I knew that we were screwed!

Baby, Musk put the X on top
Words have been displaced and our IQ’s* gonna drop
Baby, Musk put the X on top
A digital nightmare, it’s the new-age online horror shop!

… with sincere apologies to KISS.
