Dave, Future Utopia, Es Devlin - Children Of The Internet lyrics

Look i grew up in a good but a changin' age
My wife and kids - Damon Wayans
When the youth club was
Everybody’s favourite place
Where if you spoke to a
Girl then it was face-to-face
Bruh, I seen the heart of
The 'hood turn trendy kids lose interest
Parks turn empty
Social media's got us all less friendly
Now, can’t you see the irony?
She's got game when she types to
Me but nothing in person
That ain't the type for me
Asking "Can we go for dinner
Yet?" in the flesh
No convеrsation, no intellect
The future generation of the
Children of the internet

Look
It's all change an' I'm seeing it now
You can meet a hundred people
Without leaving your house
Puttin' pictures in a frame
A memory in the clouds
You know everybody keeps their
Memories in the cloud
We finally found a voice and
We ain't speaking as loud
People only wanna listen to the
Sheep and the crowd
An’ any other statement gets you
Cancelled by an activist
That’s never helped the cause
That they're tweeting about
Do you blame public
Figures and personalities
For giving the li’l kids a
Warped views of reality?
Or blame all o' the apps
That make a killing on
Finding the sweet spot in your
Self hate and vanity?
Could you argue that it's borderline
Dangerous to take a
Picture of a girl's face
And start changin’ it?
With one quick filter
Your nose looks thinner
Your eyes look fuller your lips look bigger
Your software's better and your
Phone knows everything
If anything, it's getting George Orwell-ian

Look
It's all connected, nobody's protected
From business collectives
Your info's collected

Children of the internet your info collected
As a species, we now have to redefine what
It means to be connected
Children of the internet
A recent study shows the average
Person earnestly swipes, taps
Pinches their phone a million times a year
Your info collected people feel naked
Inadequate and utterly vulnerable
Without their phone
It's a primary conduit of personal
Social and work life
Children of the internet
There are more active cell phones
On the planet than people
The mobile phone is both a
Connection and disconnection device
And is typically placed between the
Human and it's surroundings
Tuning the surroundings out
