Prince Ea - Can We Auto-Correct Humanity? lyrics

Did you know the average person spends 4 years of his life looking down at his cell phone? Kind of ironic, ain't it? How these touch-screens can make us lose touch But it's no wonder in a world filled with IMac’s, iPads and iPhones So many "i"’s, so many selfies, not enough "us"'s and "we"’s See Technology has made us more selfish and separate than ever Cause while it claims to connect us, connection has gotten no better And let me must express first Mr Zuckerberg, not to be rude but you should re-cla**ify Facebook to what it is: An anti-social network Cause while we may have big friend lists So many of us are friendless, all alone Cause friendships and more broken than the screens on our very phones We sit at home on our computers measuring self worth by numbers of followers and Likes Ignoring those who actually love us It seems we’d rather write an angry post Than talk to someone who might actually hug us Am I bugging? You tell me... I asked a friend the other day lets meet up face to face They said alright, what time you wanna Skype? I responded with omg, srs, and then a bunch of smh's And realized what about me? Do I not have the patience to have conversation without abbreviation? This is the generation of media over stimulation Chats have been reduced to snaps The news is 140 characters Videos are 6 seconds at high speed And you wonder why ADD is on the rise faster than 4G LTE But, get a load of this Studies show the attention span of the average adult today Is one second lower than that of a gold fish So if, you're one of the few people or aquatic animals that have yet to click off or close this video, congratulations Let me finish by saying you do have a choice, yes But this one my friends we cannot Auto-Correct - we must do it ourselves Take control or be controlled, Make a decision Me? No longer do I want to spoil a precious moment by recording it with a phone I'm just gonna keep them I don’t wanna take a picture of all my meals anymore - I 'm just gonna eat them I don't want the new app, the new software, or the new update And If I wanna post an old photo of myself who says I have to wait until Thursday I'm so tired of performing in the pageantry of vanity And conforming to this accepted form of digital insanity Call me crazy but, I imagine a world where we smile when we have low batteries Cause that will mean we'll be one bar closer - to humanity
