Basic Bloganomics

This is a parody song that I first posted on my Sporting News blog on September 25, 2007. It has been edited with the SN aspect taken out of it.

Land of Confusion
Parody of Genesis' Land of Confusion
SN's Freedom Writers
Untouchable

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can see trolls wanting to compete
They think they're elite.

Now did you read the blogs today
The abuse has not gone away
But I can see the trolls fight,
They're calling out into the night.

There's too many posts
Too many bloggers
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the internet we write in
And these are the brains we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth postin' in.

Ooh Blog Police, there you are now
Spying out of worry for bloggers somehow
They think they're the real deal, people of power
Who call out bloggers by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the internet we write in
And these are the brains we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth postin' in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when bloggers were moving on
Yes and the blog stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of bloggers' frustration
As I saw you fight
So long ago -

I won't be bloggin' at all tonight
My friends will be logged off the site
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Too many posts
There's too many bloggers
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the internet we write in
And these are the brains we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth posting for.

This is the place we blog in
And these are the IDs we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our creativity goes to.
