Nobody Knows

On the Internet, nobody knows anything. My attempt at a silly song about an OG internet saying.
Lyrics
(Capo 2)
VI
C
On the Internet,
F G C
Nobody knows you’re a dog.
F
You’re a keyboard warrior,
C
A learnéd man,
G
Or perhaps a plushie frog
C
But on the Internet,
F G Am
Nobody knows you’re a dog —
They don’t have a clue —
F C
You can post anything you want
G C
And say it came from you
V2
On the Internet,
Nobody knows you’re a troll.
You’re a journalist,
A harried mom,
Or perhaps a lump of coal
But on the Internet,
Nobody knows you’re a troll —
They don’t have a clue —
You can post anything you want
And say it came from you
Chorus
F
Be anything you want
C
Be all that you can be
F
Post your memes and post your links
G
For everyone to see
F
Most of it is nonsense
C Am
And some of it is smog
F
But on the Internet
F G C
Nobody knows you’re a dog
Bridge
Am
Nobody really knows who’s there
Em
Nobody really seems to care
F Am
They read it and it’s real to them, it seems
F
Anyone who wants to know
Am
Has to go through quite a show
F G
They’ll expose you, but only in their dreams
V3
On the Internet,
Nobody knows you’re a bot
You’re an influencer,
A motivator,
Or perhaps you’re just a sot
But on the Internet,
Nobody knows you’re a bot —
They don’t have a clue —
You can post anything you want
And say it came from you
Outtro
You can post anything you want
And say it came from you

On a happier internet note, this also reminded me of the video of the Lawyer on Zoom who had a cat filter on his feed and didn't know how to turn it off - he states the classic line to a Judge who is chairing the call, 'Your Honour, I am not a cat' (If you haven't seen it just Google 'lawyer, cat, zoom' and I'm sure it will come up).
