about

Recorded on a BOSS RC-50 Loopstation in one take.

lyrics

I see people taking pictures of other people taking videos
Of other people that are posting on Facebook
And then tweeting about it
And then sending that out on instagram
Then they put it on their blog
It’s a culture of me me me me me
But I’m also wondering about you and you and you too
That’s why I’m stalking you online
Reading everything I can find
Cause when I’m alone I’m always reaching for my phone
When I’m alone I’m always reaching for my phone

Digital addiction (I’m textin’ while I’m driving)
Digital addiction ( checking my feed before I get out of bed)
Digital addiction (‘cause I’m worried about the messages I haven’t read)
Digital addiction (It’s time to turn it so)
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off now
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off

Our technology was supposed to set us free
But instead it’s got us trapped like prisoners behind a screen
And I wonder what does it mean that all my dreams are in pixels
They’re in RGB pixels
Maybe I’ve got a

Digital addiction (when I’m texting while we’re driving…I know it’s dangerous and illegal)
Digital addiction (checking my feed before I get out of bed…just can’t help it)
Digital addiction (because I'm worried about the messages I haven’t read)
Digital addiction (I think it's time to turn it off so)
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off now
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off

Alright now 65% of statistics are made up on the spot,
But 25% of the time those are true
So I've got a little statistic for you
Over 80% of mobile phones have fecal matter on them
Think about that the next time you get a call and you raise it up to your face
And think about that the next time you're sitting on the toilet
Doing your work email and pooping

It’s time to recognize the power of connectivity
Learn to use it more creatively than watching cat videos on the Internet all day
Because we can find solutions to all the problems and pollution
But we’ve got to change our paradigm
And I think that it's about time to break free of our

Digital addiction (while we’re texting while we’re driving…don’t do it it could kill you )
Digital addiction (checking the feed before we get out of bed…just can’t help it)
Digital addiction (cause worried about our messages you haven’t read)
Digital addiction (sleeping’ with the phone underneath our head)
Digital addiction (doin’ the work email on the toilet)
Digital addiction (and answering the phone while we’re having sex…don’t do that!)
Digital addiction (It’s time to turn it off so)
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off now
Turn it off now, turn it turn it off
