  • Oh the sand keeps falling through the hourglass
    And there's no way you're going to slow it down
    You say we gotta treasure each moment
    Who knows how long we're gonna be around

    Yeah you keep on telling me life is short
    And it's hard to disagree with what you say
    But if time is so precious why ya wasting mine
    'Cause I'm always reading, always deleting
    Every useless piece of garbage that you send my way

    Every stupid hoax all those corny jokes
    Stop forwarding that crap to me
    Well I don't need tons of cringe inducing puns
    Stop forwarding that crap to me

    No it isn't OK if you brighten my day
    With some cut and pasted hackneyed Hallmark poetry
    And I didn't request a personality test
    Stop forwarding that crap to me

    You're sending virus-laden bandwidth-hogging
    Attachments to every single person you know
    You're passing around a link to some dumb thing on YouTube
    That everybody else already saw three years ago

    And wacky badly Photo-shopped billboards were never that amusing to me
    And I just can't believe you believe those urban legends
    But I have high hopes someone will point you toward Snopes
    And debunk that crazy junk you're spewing constantly

    No I don't want a bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul
    Stop forwarding that crap to me
    Send more top 10 lists and I'll slash my wrists
    Please stop forwarding that crap to me

    Well I'm sorry I can't accept your paranoid rant
    And I don't want the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe
    Won't you kindly refrain 'cause it's hurting my brain
    Stop forwarding that crap to me

    Like glittery hearts and unicorns and pictures of somebody's cat
    Now tell me in what alternate reality
    Would I care about something like that
    And by the way your quotes from George Carlin
    Aren't really George Carlin
    Mr. Rogers never fought the Viet Cong
    And Bill Gates is never gonna give me something for nothing
    And I really doubt some dead girl is gonna
    Kill me if I don't pass her letter along

    Well now I know you're wishing I'll sign your petition
    But stop forwarding that crap to me
    And I don't want to read your series
    Of conspiracy theories just stop forwarding that crap to me

    And your two million loser friends
    All have my address now because you never figured out the way to BCC
    Now I gotta insist take me off of your list
    Stop forwarding that crap to me

    (Stop forwarding that crap to me
    Stop forwarding that crap to me
    Stop forwarding that crap to me
    Stop forwarding that crap to me)

    Just stop it now, oh no
    I can't take it, aw please
    You gotta stop
    Right now

    I'm not kidding
    At the risk of being slightly
    Repetitious gonna ask you now to stop
    Sending me that crap

    I don't want it, don't send it to me
    Now don't send it to me
    Just stop
    Oh top forwarding that crap to me, to me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
