lyrics

Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
You know the guy, he plagiarises platitudes
And spells them out on a wall (with balloons)
Your hatred at first was irrational
But there's something about him that makes you livid
Log on
Cyberbully the Balloon Guy
Log off, have some food, go to sleep, wake up
Log on
Cyberbully the Balloon Guy
Log off, have some food, go to sleep, wake up
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
It all seemed a bit mean-spirited when he's just expressing himself
In the cynically orchestrated manner of a middle-aged marketing manager
The problem is you can't ignore it
When all it wants is your attention
And that serves to reflect to us an image of ourselves we're a meme away from
I don't mean to try and defend it
Social media's a complex cesspit
But negatively sharing and endlessly sneering is the very thing that amplifies it
Log on
Cyberbully the Balloon Guy
Log off, have some food, go to sleep, wake up
Log on
Cyberbully the Balloon Guy
Log off, have some food, go to sleep, wake up
I used to think he was harmless
That his art just wasn't for me
But then I saw him say that thing about nudes
And to prove you were going to therapy
What?
Now everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
But we probably just hate ourselves
