I am the very model of a YouTube individual
I gripe about the algorithm sucking, per the usual
I overwork myself until I need to see a therapist
My mental health is weakening and everyone's aware of it

Chasing trends exhausts me but I have to, or my channel dies
I link my value to the numbers and if they are on the rise
My career's kicked around by YouTube's tiniest alteration
But I stick it out because I secretly crave admiration

We stick it out bеcause we secrеtly crave admiration
We stick it out because we secretly crave admiration
We stick it out because we secretly crave admiration

So to stifle shame for not working, a constant plague upon my mind
I'll monetize my hobbies 'till there's nothing left to help unwind
Even though the world thinks my success is inexplicable
I am the very model of a YouTube individual

Even though the world thinks our success is inexplicable
We are the very models of YouTube individuals

Become self-conscious of my looks when I was quite content before
Am I a person or a brand? Can't tell the difference anymore
When drama knocks and egos flare I sometimes act responsibly
Just one bad comment in the bunch, I'll think about it constantly
I shove merchandise in your face, the self-promotion game is weird
Feels like my popularity dissolved as fast as it appeared
I cannot grumble too hard for my audience is pretty swell
And to my haters, c'est la vie! I'll see you all in YouTube hell!

And to our haters, c'est la vie! We'll see you all in YouTube hell!
And to our haters, c'est la vie! We'll see you all in YouTube hell!
And to our haters, c'est la vie! We'll see you all in YouTube, YouTube hell!

So be it vlogging, music, gaming, film, or animation
I'll enjoy the hell out of this job until my cancellation, so
Even if you think I'm narcissistic, unoriginal
I am the very model of a YouTube individual

Even if you think we're narcissistic, unoriginal
We are the very models of YouTube individuals
