"Before The Internet" lyrics

We used to have to talk shit in person
We had to look each other in the eye
Back when we wrote love notes in cursive
And drew blood when we used to fight

Back when rumors were spread through a whisper
On the ride back home
Now with the push of a button your whole damn home town knows

Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
We'd probably be dead
We'd probably be dead

We used to hear about all the drama
But now we see it in a video
It's like a never-ending horror movie
And we're all sitting in the front row

And every picture we post is just a perfect lie
And bullies are digital terrorists so we can't hide
Why?

Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
Thank God when we were uncool
It wasn't permanent
I guess that you could say we were
The lucky ones
Didn't have a locker full of things that
Made us numb
Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
We'd probably be dead
We'd probably be dead

Growing up was never easy
But it just got harder
It's like we're walking 'round with paper hearts
Holding fire starters

Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
Thank God when we were uncool
It wasn't permanent
I guess that you could say we were
The lucky ones
Didn't have a locker full of things that
Made us numb
Thank God we went to high school
Before the internet
We'd probably be dead
We'd probably be dead
