Lyrics
Instrumental
Intro
Acoustic guitar strumming, soft drums fade in
Verse 1
Alice the donkey lives next door to me
Braying his nonsense for all to see
He steals from others and mocks their names
Thinks he's so clever playing his games
He howls at the moon, spits hate all day
Blasphemes and gossips in every way
A troll deluxe with nothing to do
But spread his venom to victims new
Chorus
I don't know why he brays at them
Maybe he's lonely, needs to condemn
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
He thinks he's smart but oh so dumb
A classic fool where wisdom won't come
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
Twenty-four seven, what a junkie
Verse 2
He prowls the forums late at night
Looking for someone to pick a fight
Screenshots and gossip, that's his trade
A digital pest on every parade
He calls it truth but it's just spite
Hides behind his screen, afraid of light
A coward's game, a hater's song
But everybody knows he's wrong
Chorus
I don't know why he brays at them
Jealousy's his only stratagem
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
He steals and mocks and plays pretend
But has no courage and no friends
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
The king of cringe, the hate-crime monkey
Bridge
Tempo slows slightly, introspective
So here's what you do when donkeys attack
Don't feed the beast, don't answer back
Block and move on, don't play his game
Silence is power when dealing with shame
Document everything if he goes too far
Keep screenshots safe of who they are
Let him bray into the void alone
A troll needs attention, don't give him a bone
Verse 3
Building energy
He'll kick and scream and call you names
He'll twist your words and shift the blame
But here's the secret he doesn't know
Ignore a donkey and watch him go
They can't exist without your pain
They need your anger like they need rain
So starve the beast of what it craves
And watch it disappear in waves
Final Chorus
Full band, powerful delivery
Now I know why he brays at them
He's got no life, just mayhem
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
But I won't watch his stupid game
I'll rise above his petty shame
Living next door to Alice, the donkey
But he's just noise and we're flying free
Outro
Tempo picks up, celebratory
Alice the donkey, Alice the fool
Hating online is his only tool
But trolls fade fast when you don't engage
So let him bray alone in his cage
Next door to Alice but worlds away
I've got better things to do today
Next door to Alice, he's yesterday's news
While I'm out here winning and he still brays and stews
Hee-haw Alice, hee-haw
Mocking laughter
Spoken Word Outro
Clear spoken voice over soft acoustic guitar
Remember the survival guide for living next door to digital donkeys
Number one: Never feed the troll, engagement is their oxygen
Number two: Block liberally, your peace of mind matters more
Number three: Document everything, screenshots save lives in harassment cases
Number four: Don't match their energy, stay classy, they stay trashy
Number five: Report when necessary, platforms have rules for a reason
End
Spoken Word Outro
Clear spoken voice over soft acoustic guitar
they're miserable, happy people don't spend time hating
Number seven: Focus on your tribe, real connections matter, not random haters
Number eight: Laugh it off, mockery loses power when you refuse to be hurt
Acoustic guitar fades out
End
