Lyrics
Anonymity
© 2008 Will Stanley
She says she's a girl but how do I know
That it's not another guy
She posted a picture, and it looks real nice
But it could all be a lie.
I don't know her, she don't know me
So we can fib with impunity.
Anonymity, (you don't know me)
Who could she be (you can't see me)
You could be a knock-out, or knock-kneed
Or anything in between.
At the drop of a hat, someone starts to flame
And so a chat degenerates
Expletives are flying as are nasty names
In real life there'd be a fight
But there's no need to worry, even if you're mean
No one can punch you through the screen
Anonymity, (you don't know me)
Creates immunity, (you can't hurt me)
The online community requires this smokescreen
Of anonymity.
It's the ultimate masquerade
Pretending you're something you're not
One tap of the keyboard and you've got it made
Slim and none you'll get caught
Instrumental
Every girl can be a beauty queen
And every guy's Adonis, when he can't be seen.
Anonymity (you don't know me)
Hides reality (you can't see me)
You could be 60 or 16
Or anything in between.
Cuz anonymity (you don't know me)
Blurs reality (you can't show me)
This is the way, we learn to play, when we hide behind
Anonymity.
