Mark Sloniker - Cell Phone Blues lyrics

(Prelude) I came to this earth to find goodness and God And to live those Golden Rules Just me inside this human space suit Oh, and I brought some simple tools Got my cell phone on my hip here Got my beeper over thar Got super instant text messaging And a fax machine in my car There's a TV in the back seat It's a wide screen plasma thing Got a GPS that insures success So I'll never turn up missing Got a computer in the dashboard And another one under the hood Got a micro-chip implanted in my head So I can keep texting you even after I'm dead Boy ain't technology GOOD! But right then an angel called down to me In a voice all sweetness and bliss She said perhaps I need to heed her words And her words, they went something like this, She was a blue angel Turn off your cell phone Turn off your TV Turn down your pager Turn off your MP3 You got to turn off your fax machine Turn off your car You got to turn ON your HEART Light If you want to find out where you are Do the low-tech with me baby! If you can go NO-tech that's the best And let your heart light shine up to the heavens, friend And the Divine'll do the rest (Yea, the Divine'll do the rest) You got to get off of the internet Turn off your computer You got to log off, check out, turn down, exit Every thought polluter! It's not how big your hard drive is Or how big your TV Screen You get to shut down, power down, Time out, turn off, hang up Everything!!! Do the low-tech with me baby! If you can go NO-tech that's the best Just let your heart light shine up to heaven, friend And the Divine'll do the rest (Yea, the Divine'll do the rest) Now when Jesus went into the wilderness To confront that slippery stranger He left his cell phone with the Philistines He left his lap top in the manger! He didn't need no instant messaging He didn't need no GPS Jesus let his heart light shine And rose above that whole big mess He went low- tech just for starters Then he went no-tech just for grins Why, with the unlimited power of the SOUL phone You can wash away your sins When Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree He freed himself of technology His suffering was abated And his spirits were elated Do the low-tech just like Buddha See how low-tech you can go Buddha took it down to nothin' babe Now there ain't nothin' he don't know So turn off your cell phone friend And listen to me I said, turn ON your SOUL phone No worry, it's toll free There's a message inside the silence There's a healing there within it You can talk to God any time you want You were born with unlimited minutes Do the low-tech with me baby If you can go no-tech that's the best Just let your heart light shine up to heaven friend And through your soul phone you'll be blessed Just let your heart light shine up to heaven And the Divine'll do the rest! (Yea, the Divine'll do the rest) Hang on a second I think I got a call coming in. Hang on just a second please.
