Leave It Alone

This song goes out to the

People who can't live without their phones

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

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

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 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

Rhythm of your life

So 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 flush

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
