The Slacktivist

World around me gone all crazy
Wanna help but I’m too lazy
Activism via couch
Don’t even need to leave my house
Find a meme that I can share
So everyone will know I care
Recycle someone else’s words
So I don’t stand out from the herd

Cuz I’m a slacktivist
Yeah, a midnight activist
If we click hard enough
We can click our way outta this

Never knew it was this easy
Posting quotes so super cheesy
Problems can be clicked away
My keyboard’s here to save the day
Change my profile pic again
Be sure it’s seen by all my friends
All of this to get applause
Prove I support the latest cause

Cuz I’m a slacktivist
Yeah, a midnight activist
If we click hard enough
We can click our way outta this

With more likes, anything is possible…
Just reshare, the feeds will be unstoppable…

Gotta make it my life’s mission
To sign these virtual petitions
I just have such a big heart
Happy I could do my part
Swiping, clicking, liking, sharing
The best way to signal caring
Now I can go to sleep tonight
Trusting that I’ve done what’s right

Cuz I’m a slacktivist
Yeah, a midnight activist
If we click hard enough
We can click our way outta this
Gotta click our way outta this
Can’t just click our way outta this⁣
