Phone Zombie
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
Phones are taking over, they’ve been programmed this way
They’re gleaning all our info, hear every word we say
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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?
Â
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
Â
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
