Look
I grew up in a good but a changing age
My wife and kids, Damon Wayne's
When the youth club was everybody's favorite place
Where if you spoke to a girl, then it was face to face
Bro, I've seen a heart of a good turn trendy
Kids loose interest, parks turn empty
Social media has got us all less friendly
Now can't you see the irony
She's got game when she types to me
But nothing in person, that ain't the type for me
Asking "Can we go for dinner yet?" In the flesh
No conversation, nor intellect
The future generation of the children of the internet
Look
It's all changing, I'm seeing it now
You can meet a hundred people without leaving your house
Putting pictures in the frames and memory in the clouds
You know everybody keeps their memories in the cloud
Finally found a voice and we ain't speaking as loud
People only wanna listen to the sheep in the crowd
And any other statement gets you counselled by an activist
That's never helped with the cause that they're tweeting about
Do you blame public figures and personalities
For giving little kids a warped view of reality
Or blame all of the apps that make a killing
And finding a sweet spot in your self hating vanity
Could you argue that it's borderline dangerous
To take a picture of a girl's face?
And start changing it in one quick filter
Your nose looks thinner, eyes look fuller, your lips look bigger
Your software is better and your phone knows everything
If anything is getting George Orwellian!
Look
It's all connected
Nobody's protected
From business collectives
Your info's collected

As a species, we now have to redefine what it means to be connected

A recent study showed that the average person earn at
Least swipes, taps, pinches their phone a million times a year
Your info collected
People feel naked, inadequate and utterly vulnerable without
Their phone, it's a primary conduit of personal, social and work life

There are more active cell phones on the planet than people
The mobile phone is both a connection and disconnection device
It is typically places between the human and it's surroundings
Tuning the surroundings out
