Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
Balloons
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
You know the guy, he
Plagiarises platitudes
And spells them out on a wall
With balloons
Your hatred at first was irrational
But there's something about him
That makes you livid

Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
It all seemed a bit mean-spirited
When he's just expressing himself
In the cynically orchestrated manner
Of a middle-aged marketing manager
The problem is you can't ignore it
When all it wants is your attention
And that serves to reflect to us
An image of ourselves we're a meme away from
I don't mean to try and defend it
Social media's a complex cesspit
But negatively sharing
And endlessly sneering
Is the very thing that amplifies it

I used to think he was harmless
That his art just wasn't for me
But then I saw him say
That thing about nudes
And to prove you were going to therapy
What?
Now
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
Everyone hates his balloons
Everyone hates the Balloon Guy
But we probably just hate ourselves
