You look around - People everywhere taking selfies
They've got it down - They all seem to fit right in
But in the end - It's all just an act they put on.
By pressing send - to show people where they've been.
Open up! Don't see life passing through components
Open up! Just wake up and put down that phone!
Open up! Life is now and your waisting moments
Open up! Just let it in and get in the zone!
Every day - You run around tryin' hard to fit in
Any way - you can but that's never ending well.
Never pay - attention to what is not important
Hear me say - It time to get going IRL
Your social net - is mostly a set of numbers
And I can bet - That you're feeling all alone.
There's nothing yet - that beats living in the moment
Get off the set - or you will become a drone!
Every day - You run around tryin' hard to fit in
Any way - you can but that's never ending well.
Never pay - attention to what is not important
Hear me say - It time to get going IRL
Look at me - I am so important
Oh can you see - what I ate today?
Light is key when I take photo
of stuff I'm placing around my tray
Gather people and take a selfie to
tell the world that I'm still at play
I hope you like what I fake in pixels
Every day - You run around tryin' hard to fit in
Any way - you can but that's never ending well.
Never pay - attention to what is not important
Hear me say - It time to get going IRL but
Every day - You run around tryin' hard to fit in
Any way - you can but that's never ending well.
Never pay - attention to what is not important
Hear me say - It time to get going IRL
