YOU CAN’T ESCAPE THE FOMO

You’re seeking connection, but all you see is food porn.
Travel photos, influencers and the clothes that they’ve worn.
Your notifications are exploding on your screen.
You can’t help but look — but you don’t want to make a scene.

Scroll, Like, tweet, post
What is something you can boast?
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

Woof, Tap, Swipe right
That gym selfie’s outta sight!
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

Don’t look away in case there’s something you miss.
The hours you waste here are your moments of bliss.
Even though the algorithm feeds the stuff you don’t want.
Another selfie, feet, pets — someone’s croissant.

Ghost, troll, ban, block
Delete that photo of your cock
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

Ads, bots, click bait
Only one more minute you gotta wait
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

Your phone is everything you are.

Without it you really wouldn’t go far.

Meta has you in the palm of their hand.

You’ll do anything that they demand.

Scroll, Like, tweet, post
What will get views the most?
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

Woof, Tap, Swipe right
This constant search will be my night.
You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

“Oh my gosh, you guys – look at my follower count!”

You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

“I need to go viral…. like right NOW!”

You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

“No one’s liking my post. I’m going to delete and try again.”

You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)

“I can’t leave social media. Then I won’t exist.”

You can’t escape the FOMO!
(You can’t escape the FOMO)
