Don't Let the Russian Bots Win
Resisting Division: Don't Succumb to Russian Bots
Lyrics
When Shit got weird in 2016
Referring to the unusual events of 2016.
I Should've listened to the song that the twitter bird sings
Regretting not heeding warnings or insights, possibly from social media.
When the Cubs won it all, I should've took it as a sign
Viewing the Chicago Cubs' victory as a significant event, a sign of changing times.
That we were clearly in the middle of the old end times
Suggesting that the period was a turbulent phase, possibly marking the decline of an era.
Hi ho, oh no, this is how the end begins
Expressing concern about the beginning of a troubling period.
Look out below
Warning of impending challenges or crises.
They're trying to divide us, feed the fear inside us
Highlighting attempts to sow discord and instill fear.
But don't let the Russian bots win
Encouraging resistance against manipulation by Russian bots.
I don't know about you but I don't trust a man
Expressing distrust towards a specific individual.
With a dyed blonde comb over and a spray on tan
Describing physical features of the distrusted individual.
Who lies so much, he thinks he's telling the truth
Accusing the individual of habitual lying and self-deception.
Who the hell is he to tell me all about fake news
Questioning the credibility of the individual's information on fake news.
Hi ho, oh no, this is how the end begins
Reiterating concern about a negative turn of events.
Look out below
Issuing a warning or alarm.
They're trying to divide us, feed the fear inside us
Reinforcing the idea of attempts to divide and create fear.
But don't let the Russian bots win
Reiterating the call to resist manipulation by Russian bots.
Is it just me, or is there an echo in here
Questioning the presence of a repetitive and potentially misleading message.
Telling us we're on our own
Suggesting a feeling of isolation or abandonment.
Can't you see, that we got more that we share
Asserting that the collective has more in common than differences.
Than with them glass house billionaires throwing stones
Criticizing wealthy individuals for their hypocritical actions.
Drop the phone, not the mic
Encouraging disconnection from negative influences.
Can I get a like
Seeking affirmation or support through social media engagement.
If they win there won't be nothing left but blood and rust
Painting a grim picture of the potential consequences of a particular outcome.
And a wore out dime that says in God We Trust
Referring to a token representing faith and patriotism.
So don't listen to they're arguments they're ad-hominem
Discouraging engagement with arguments that attack individuals rather than addressing the issues.
It's not me against you It's us against them
Emphasizing unity against a common threat.
Hi ho, oh no, this is how the end begins
Reiterating concern about a negative turn of events.
Look out below
Issuing a warning or alarm.
They're trying to divide us, feed the fear inside us
Reinforcing the idea of attempts to divide and create fear.
But don't let the Russian bots win
Reiterating the call to resist manipulation by Russian bots.
