lyrics

Write yourself a book
Fill it with friends and pictures you took
And everyone will see
But no one will read
Or give you anything you need
No one’s quite as smart
As it seems their telephones are
But there’ll soon come a day
When they’ll all be thrown away
And they’ll be replaced
But we won’t be thrown away
We won’t be replaced
People don’t get thrown away
Oh god please don’t let us be thrown away
Don’t let us be replaced...
Everyone’s talking more
But they’re saying so much less
It’s so easy to ignore
Just how easy it is to ignore
The fact that it’s just so easy to be ignored
When there’s kittens and puppies
Echo chamber op-eds and celebrities
When the ads choke out any artistry
Like they’re waterboarding us with cattle-feed
All because it serves to please
The hidden powers that be
So that this will always be
Words and melody
To just some lonely
Fairly early
21st century
Folk song
La da di da...
