Lyrics: These are the rules on how to use the net, please remember them and don't be a pain. Cause on the net, there is a some etiquette. Don't just do your own thang. La, la, la... If your statement begins with "Actually," You took it way too far, as far as can be. (#2) A Mac is a tool, it doesn't make you cool, (#5) When you correct someone's grammar, you look like a fool. (#28) A private company can do what they do, A web site service you're not entitled to. (#9) You got a tattoo and you want to post a pic, Just wait a little bit 'cause the swelling looks sick. (#38) La la la la... Your friend just died, don't write "R.I.P." It's as tacky as tacky as you could be. (#43) The MySpace picture we should all condone, Everyone just knows they're showing off their phone. (#39) Don't send an angry message or you'll regret it. (#44) You may be right, but just wait a little bit, "Is that fake?" is an overused blunder, Stop trying to ruin fun and allow yourself to wonder. (#35) La la la la...

Never install a free toolbar, (#58) Treat tech support like humans (cause they really are) (#53). Never add sarcasm and then press "send." It always sounds different on the other end. (#14) A Facebook rule for friending someone, If you saw them at the store, would say "hi" or run? (#59) Your status has been changed, you haven't been "hacked," You forgot to log out; technically it's"hijacked." (#57) When you forward an email, don't write FYI, (#51) Never add an address when you send a reply. (#29) Your coworker's monitor is their private place, Don't stare at it, just look at their face.
