Lyrics

Antisocial Media

Just between you and me
and a thousand Facebook friends,
this is where the blog begins
and conversation ends.
Everybody’s groovin’ to
the beats on their iPod.
They only talk to Siri,
who only talks to God.

Everybody’s looking up
the stuff they should be knowing.
Everybody’s looking down
instead of where they’re going.
Everybody’s walking ‘round
with wires in their ears.
Everybody’s deaf and blind.
They’ve been this way for years.

You like me or you like me not.
There is no other choice.
Your feelings must be binary
‘cause you have lost your voice.
Reality is virtual.
You’re just an avatar.
If you don’t have a GPS
you don’t know where you are.

There’s too much information
that everybody’s sharing.
I really don’t care what you ate
or which clothes you are wearing.
They’re tweeting in the movies and
they’re texting at the wheel,
with pictures of their body parts
from their heads down to their heels.

You may think that I’m a Luddite,
that I’m living in the past.
You may think I’m antisocial,
an emoticonoclast.
But OMG my BFF,
you’re lost in cyberspace.
I’d really love to be with you
and meet you face to face.
