Everybody's on the Phone

Message in a bottle, rhythm of a drum

Smoke signals and telegraphs made the airwaves hum

But that's all ancient history, like bongs and Lincoln Logs

Now we livin' like the Jetsons in a wacky wireless fog

Talkin' squawkin' hawkin', who knows if anybody's gettin' through?

Toasters talk to crackberries Boston to Bombay

Teenage schemes and Ma Bell dreams as minutes tick away

We act like crazy people talking to ourselves

Crashing cars for conversations, still that shit flies off the shelf

The information superhighway's crawling like an L.A. traffic jam

Everybody's on the phone, so connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to socialite, we all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

Do you remember dialing up, yes, I remember well

Now I just can't go anywhere without my sacred cell

I think that I might die if I miss anything at all

Text me, send an e-mail, link me up, give me a call

I'm ADD on AOL and tryin' to read the writing on the wall

Everybody's on the phone, so connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite, we all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

Now I'm a real jungle jumper, I'm a megahertz man

I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download in the dropout zones

In every major city 'cross the land

I got Bob Marley on my ringtone

Get up, stand up, reach out, touch somebody, man

Everybody's on the phone, so connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite, we all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

I'm a digital explorer in an analog foam

Everybody's on the phone

Yeah

Can you hear me?

Wait, wait

Can you hear me now?

Oh shit, the batteries are going

Let me get over to the window

Did you get that?

I'll call you back
