(Verse 1)
Sitting at home, cruisin' round the Internet
You send a link, funny pic is what you get
LOLcats? Where's the humor in this, dude?
I'm in New York, accepting my VMA prize
Kanye interrupts, can't believe that just happened live
He preferred "Single Ladies" to my tune

(Chorus 1)
Next day, top search
Me and this jerk
Remixes, mashups, message boards gone berserk
Never dreamed one day that I'd wake up and find
That what you know me for is one clip online
Sometimes web geeks make jokes that catch on, then won't stop
My one bad day is now stuck on your laptop
Screen
I've become a meme
I've become a meme

(Verse 2)
You hadn't been a star since the mid-80s
Someone pretends your vid is Lohan nudity
You're finally famous again as a lame fake-out, does it make you queasy?
And you were just a bear in some old jpeg file
Until 4chan said you were a pedophile
Now you just show up when girls are too young
You're like an evil furry Chris Hansen
(Chorus 2)
You went on TV
Wouldn't say "sorry"
His dad lied for a top news story
Be a huge dick or just play hide and seek
If the web laughs at you, you'll be famous all week
You see online you don't need much to be funny
A kid, some cats, they'll add the irony
You'll become a meme
You'll become a meme

(Bridge)
Oh you were trying to introduce a song, then you nearly lost your mind
Just before you're about to crack, you said we'll just do it live
They sent the clip around, you screamed left-wing conspiracy
They only did it for the lulz, but it's more than comedy

(Outro)
In a week, I went from country music shows to hosting SNL,
It's not hard to see
It's cause I'm a meme
Your vids, pics, posts do more make then just make fun
We know it's love or at least free publicity
You made us a meme
You made us a meme
You made us a meme
Have you ever thought just maybe
It's good to be a meme
It's good to be a meme
