lyrics

This song goes out to the
People who can't live without their phone
I know it's really useful, but can you leave it alone?

Just for
A second so that you and I connect
Without you looking down every chance that you get

I see you scrolling through your feeds like they're keeping you alive
Not productive or creative, just spending all your time

Uh-oh, your battery is dead so now your world is gonna end
Because of all the fuckin selfies you were tryin to send

You don't gotta share this moment with your friends
Just let it be a memory that lives inside your head

This is the here and now, enjoy it while it lasts
Cos pretty soon this present is gonna be your past

RHYTHM OF YOUR LIFE

Back in my day, you just rolled the dice
You couldn't check the photos of the food on Openrice
You just ate

But now you blog about your food
While everybody else is blogging 'bout their food too

Never somewhere new because they don't have the reviews
Only 5 stars is ever good enough for you

You stopped being adventurous, not wanting to explore
Now everywhere you go everybody's been before

RHYTHM OF YOUR LIFE

You are addicted to the unrestricted flow of information
But you gotta pay attention where you're stepping to avoid collision

with another person who is also on their phone
Might have been a new friend, but you will never ever know

Cos you missed the chance you had for meaningful interactivity
Instead you got your head down looking at a fuckin tiny screen

A smile or a wave could have led to a kiss
But you just walked on by like this

RHYTHM OF YOUR LIFE

If you're ever feeling overwhelmed by all the background noise
It's probably notifications comin out all of your toys

So put it back into your pocket and stop playing candy crush
Or I'll throw it in the toilet then I'm gonna press flushhhhhhhhhh

Put your phone down fucker put your phone down
We don't need to know the answer to your question
Put your phone down fucker put your phone down
We were in the middle of a conversation

Put your phone down fucker put your phone down
And pay attention to what's happenin in front of you
Put your phone down fucker put your phone down
Use your own two eyes you get a better view

I see the wind through the trees and the ants on the ground
I see the ripples on the water as the rain comes down
I see the sun through the window and the curtains in the breeze
It don't matter what it is, it sure is better than a screen
