Welcome to Bluesky, we have rules here

1. Show me how to lie (you’re getting better all the time)
2. Turn all against the one (it’s an art that’s hard to teach)
3. Set off an unsuspecting herd with an unsuspecting word
4. Individuals: Step back into line; Mobs: jump to your feet
Welcome to Bluesky, we have rules here

1. This is where the party ends
2. I can't stand here listening
3. To you and your racist friend
Welcome to Bluesky, we have rules here:

1. We can dance if we want to
2. We can leave your friends behind
3. 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
4. Well, they're no friends of mine
