Who knew, boredom would end up a curse
Tracking your eyes, manipulate visual thirst
Ain’t no use, wishing praying hoping you’d quit
They got you hooked, you want that dopamine hit
Take a look, next time that you go out to eat
Everybody’s head is down, eyes locked on that screen
Is that a brother, sister, mom, dad, uncle, auntie?
I don’t know because nobody is talking just looking at phones like a zombie
You left the house, with friends but won’t open your mouth
Got to check your social, for fear of missing out
You’re addicted, checking whatever your friends did
You need attention, like, subscribe, and mention
Feeling lonely, numb and afraid like running away
What do you expect, spending the day, thumbing away
Time travelers, I think you may need to get help
Physically with your friends, but you’re online talking to somebody else
So tragic it’s, turning people into pacifists
Who cares if someone is hurt, pull out your phone snap up a pic
Damn, you could be watching your favorite band
Live and direct but you’d rather film it with that little screen in your hand
You’ll never watch it, but your friends thought that it was awesome
And that’s what matters, the potential, not the progress
Know how I know? Check anybody’s bio
It says right there, brand ambassador, CEO
Stuck on our selfie, check out my pics, what do you think? Tell me!
Look at my food, sure it’s gone cold but don’t it look healthy?
Heart, thumbs up, digital drugs, anticipation
We’re never enough, fiending for validation
