"Snowflakes" lyrics

"Snowflakes"

They're afraid to use their name
They're afraid to use their name
When it comes to social media
They're afraid to use their name

Beware of self-styled patriots
Who hate all refugees and gays
They're prepared to spill anyone's blood for Ireland
As long as it's not theirs
They say they're not afraid of anything
Yet they never can explain
Why when it comes to social media
They're afraid to use their name
They're ready for the fight
And they're ready for the war
They're ready around the clock
With vicious hateful threatening turns of phrase
On Twitter, Telegram, and TikTok
They parade around like peacocks
Yet they never can explain
Why when it comes to social media
They're afraid to use their name

They claim to represent us
With no contact, name or face
They hide behind their fake accounts
Like cowardly fucking snowflakes
Consumed by hatred and resentment
They play that trollin' game
But when it comes to social media
They're afraid to use their name

They're afraid to use their name
They're afraid to use their name
When it comes to social media
They're afraid to use their name
