The Lyrics

The best way to let everyone know about a thing is to try your best to stop people from knowing about a thing. Lotta people take that as a challenge, you know.
Hey man, what's up with you?
You look like a sweaty dude
Not workin' on your core
Never been a gym guy, true
So why are you shakin'?
Seems like you're escapin'
Wanna know your problem
Before jokes, I'm makin'

If you've not been runnin' madly
Then why are you complainin'?
I'll help you make things alright
Well, maybe, start explainin'
"I kinda lost my temper
Made a tweet filled up with hate, see
Want it scrubbed from the servers
But the internet won't let me"

Reelin', left me reelin', left me reelin'

I'm sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin')
Cannot really stand by your plan (left me reelin')
Real sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin')
There's no way I'll stand by your plan (left me reelin')

There is no restrainin'
The net from displayin'
The worst things you've done, they'll paste it
Wherever that'll take it
Best move worth suggestin':
Apologise, no claimin'
It's a smear tactic, face it
They'll never buy that "fake" shit

I'm sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin')
Know that I won't stand by your plan (left me reelin')
Real sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin')
Nobody would stand by your plan (left me reelin', what a dweeb, what a dweeb)
I'm sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin', what a dweeb, what a dweeb)
Only fools would stand by your plan (left me reelin', what a dweeb, what a dweeb)
Real sorry, buddy, but you've gone Streisand (left me reelin', what a dweeb, what a dweeb)
Not shocked you would stand by your plan (left me reelin')

I'm pretty sure I learned about the Streisand effect first, then of the existence of Barbara Streisand, then the connection between the two. Anachronic learning is fun!
