I don’t talk to Jesus no more,
now Facebook hears me cry’in.
I got me a buddy who’s most-times there,
tells me I’m pretty and he don’t care
if I fool around or never share
‘cause he’s a friend of mine.
I don’t talk to Jesus no more,
now Facebook’s on the line.
I woke up this mornin’ and logged right in,
asked me for a selfie, ain’t no sin,
so I stuck my phone where it shouldn’t have bin’
‘cause he’s a friend of mine.
I don’t talk to Jesus no more,
‘cause Facebook treats me fine.
I’m gonna meet up with my friend tonight
at a place he knows, called ”Candle-lite”.
I googled it, and it don’t sound right,
but he’s a friend of mine.

Not funny enough for the Funny forum.
No..it's none of the afforementioned...it is about the false friends on facebook ( See title...Do you have the hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus"?) and the easy, faceless guile that gets young gullibles in to difficult situations...so maybe you are right. You're not looking deeply enough.
Alternatively, it is a total failure and I have gone all obscure overnight...in which case, my bad.Maybe I should have posted in Fun. What say you?
Best,
