The Social Constructionism Rhapsody

Recently I’ve been reading a bit about social constructionist theory, and I’ve come to the stark realisation that there is a severe lack of songs dedicated to this theoretical area. And so I have taken it upon myself to rectify this, because if I don’t then who the fuck will?

[Chords to be strummed are indicated below lyrics. Strumming pattern is up to reader discretion, but some form of triplet or up-beat speedy strumming is recommended ('-' constitutes continued strumming, also used because blogger is awkward with spaces). Composed with guitar in hand, but could be played using other music machines. Slow to moderate tempo, and 4/4 time.]
