But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity

I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers

Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it

I hope your MySpace stays forever, and I hope your children find it

Chorus

How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
C Cm
I hope it slips completely from your mind
G A C Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
G A
And I hope that it embarasses your children

I hope their bratty friends all forward it around

And I hope that you forget your password

So you cannot take it down.

When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror

And all the bands you re listing now, your kids will be exposin

Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who’s The Jonas Brothers
G B7
They’ll marvel at how old you are

They’ll rofl at your outfits
C Cm G D
Your style may pass as vintage in the future, though I doubt it
