Facebook fools you all
Why tell the world where you fall
I am going on holiday for a week or three
Come to my home and rob me, shall I leave you a key
My daughter attends school X and walks home alone each day
An open invitation to people whom on young children, do prey
Facebook fools are we
Look, here is a picture of me
Now you know what I look like with long blonde hair
Why would you think Facebook would even care
This is a picture of my young children
This is one of my home and my garden
Here is a picture of my brand new car
Facebook, you are going too far
Oh look. an advertisement of my favourite rock star sitting on my Facebook Page
Also a vacancy in the line of my work although it is the minimum wage
How did Facebook know that I like that kind of show
Do you not recall, do you not remember, you told Facebook so
Back a while, when you were writing out your personal profile 
Facebook, come in, invade my life, know my inner soul
Steal my most sacred of secrets, show them to the world as a whole
Facebook fools each and all, you deserve to fall
Did I remember to tell you everything about my life
Home, Children, address, telephone number and the name of my wife
Facebook come back, I forgot to tell you about Uncle Harry
The girl half his age that he is soon to marry
Also I forgive my sin in not telling you that Uncle Jim
Had a small lottery win, he has gone on vacation, his home is empty, no one in
Facebook fools you all.
