Phone Zombie

 

Warning! Warning! We’re under attack

We’re being infiltrated, we need to fight back

Mobiles are invading us, we’re being zombified

They’re taking over silently, our brains are being fried

 

For some the fight is over, it’s too late to bring them back

Their eyes are blank, they can’t relate, their mouths fall open slack

You see them walking gormlessly, mobile phone in hand

Eyes are glued, they can’t look up, they’re lost in Zombie Land

 

You see phone zombies everywhere, walking in the street

In shops, parks and restaurants, some have children at their feet

They show no interaction, don’t seem to even care

They’re lost inside their mobile phones, don’t even know you’re there

 

Phones are taking over, they’ve been programmed this way

They’re gleaning all our info, hear every word we say

 

They know where we are going, they know where we have been

They know what we’ve been looking at, they know what we have seen

They know when we’re awake and they know when we’re asleep

They know everything about us - we’re lost like bloody sheep

 

They’re cunningly seducing us, we’re being hypnotised

We can’t escape their power now, we’re being colonised

We charge them up to feed them, we’re digging our own graves

We venerate and idolise, we have become their slaves

 

Mobiles are like parasites, they keep their hosts alive

They’re sucking out our data, they need it to survive

Every time you switch it on, it’s tightening it’s grip

Ask yourself this question, who’s the captain of your ship?

 

Every time you look at it, it lures you deeper in

If I had the power, I’d throw mine in the bin

But my phone is there beside me, it gives a little wink

I think I’ve got a message, my ship is going to sink

 

We can’t turn back the clock now, I’m afraid we’re being groomed

I don’t like to say it but it looks like we’re all doomed
