Tom Milsom - Becoming YouTube Was a Waste Of Time Lyrics
(feat. Benjamin Cook)You had friends,you had a family.A degree in TV, you were gonna go far.You were young, you were keen. Upwardly mobile.And you gave it all up, and I traded it in for a DSLR.So you said your farewell, and you dyed your hair well to get all the girls to like you.To get all the boys to like you.To fit in at all the parties.But all that I've done is accidentally become another member of the *****ing YouTube digerati.I used to be in all of all the glamour,I used to think YouTubing was sublime.But now I'm in the thick of it,I'm feeling like a prick of it.Becoming YouTube was a waste of time.You thought you'd get some good discussion,you thought the world would gather round and type 'LOL' before your eyes.But that was then, and now I've seen it.But if any of you idiots can type at all's a surprise.Though your hugs are all free,you should be paying for me to make you feel less gross and lonely.I never want to attend another gathering, my friend.They're like a weirdo touching ceremony.I thought I'd meet some interesting people.I thought, at least, the people would be fine.But you've all flipped your lids, and still that's only the kids.Becoming YouTube was a waste of time.And who would seek this demographic?It isn't healthy for the soul although you're making some doe.And in five years, maybe a decade, you'll be on BBC Three presenting some shitty show.I'd rather dangle than this,why did I angle for this?How can you fangirl for this?I don't know.Send presents to those who take care of you, not someone who'd eat their own hair for views.(Do people like that actually exist?)(I don't know, but it's provocative)(It's gross!)(Gets the people going.)And so you're done with entertaining,this is the last you'll hear of me,and yes my future is bleak.But don't be sad, you'll soon forget me.When some other boy with hair starts up a channel next week.He'll be cute and outrageous,with a laugh that's contagiousand a catchphrase that's enduring.Or maybe one month or two until you find someone new,who has a face that's even more alluring.A stranger baked a cake for me.I just got told I'm gay.I'm on a Buzzfeed list of boys who's hair gets in the way.I can't keep up with all the hate.Your comments make me ill.I ship you guys!I hate you guys.I'm first!You suck.AmazingPhil!Who cares about the words their stupid mouths make?Who cares if in the past they've done a crime?The thoughts that you choose won't really impact your views.Becoming YouTube was a waste of time.My life is empty once again,this crazy YouTube fame ain't all it's meant to be.Now who'll be the Jack to my Dean?I'm not happy right now.Gotta change it right now.My world is monocle again.Who'll fix the sub box now that Ben has gone?Who'll help legitamise our platform to the wider world if he goes?I saw I used to gain a reputation (I did!)I saw an opportunity to shine.I used to feel number one, but now it's stopped being fun.Becoming YouTube was a waste of time.I guess being a dork is what I do now,what else have I got left to get me by?Don't get your life wrong, remember what's in the song.Becoming Youtube is a totaltime consuming,money sucking,weird, confusing, and frustrating,hyper-*****ing-interdating,sneaky, *****y,freaky, glitchy,(Don't forget misogynistic!) (***** off Lex!)Waste of time.
