T.V. Screens - Phonograph

Young girl, lyin' flat in her bed Streaming images to her head Homework or memes, slime or BLACKPINK Eight hours gone, now her mind's blown She don't, she don't want me here Now the real world is dying As everybody moves into the cloud Can you tell me where we're going? Where will we be 21 years from now? Everyone stares at the screens Everyone starеs at the screens Old maid in the cottage nеxt door We don't see her much anymore She plays Solitaire on her desktop Searches for her kids, now she can't stop Did she think she'd go out this way? Now the real world is dying As everybody moves into the cloud Can you tell me where we're going? Where will we be 21 years from now? Everyone stares at the screens (everyone stares) Everyone stares at the screens (everyone stares) I miss my friends (everyone stares) I miss my family (everyone stares)

Soaks my skin through to the bone Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase Rain you can't hold on to it A treasure what you cannot frame Rain somehow I'm drawn to it I feel engaged, with one the same When heaven's dressing beads off my face Then pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase Rain, you can't hold on to it A treasure what you cannot frame Rain, somehow I'm drawn to it I feel engaged, one and the same Rain, rain Rain, somehow I'm drawn to it I feel engaged, one and the same Rain

I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens But still I bring it back to the Word, nah mean Gaze into the Black Mirror deep inside my Homeland In an era full of Mad Men trynna be my own man Every 24 another Scandal in the West Wing And integrity is in Jeopardy, i've never seen Stranger Things In times like these when we feel Lost, in the thick of it We yearn to become Unbreakable like Kimmy Schmidt We learn to let the Good Times tell us who we are They help reduce the pressure, avoid the ER But in a House of Cards, fallacy is Limitless We stress when our objectives become Arrested Developments Back at The Office we try to earn quotas Take our eyes off the Pitch and then miss the Burn Notice, even If you're POTUS, approvals at a chronic low? The cross is The Shield, ain't no need to enroll at Quantico 'Cause it's A Different World, if you live by faith alone Ain't no need for Living Single trynna win that Game of Thrones 'Cause when you're Touched By An Angel up in this hood life Even Crazy Ex-Girlfriend can be The Good Wife If the Handmaid's Tale is best, girl, we Can't get caught up fantasy idlin' on Westworld 'Cause freedom now is so hot, no longer Mr. Robot What's Happening is grace, a catalytic converter So if my life shines bright like the Friday Night Lights, then God'll Show me How to Get Away With Murder - Psych What we even watchin screens for? It's something that we need more But to Awaken our Force is like Infinity War Instead of checkin' flicks we need The Passion of the Christ But from Training Day to Twilight we can't connect with God's Life We can't get right, It's A Wonderful Life, but it feels Rocky when you're in The Dark Knight When you feel Unforgiven and you need Independence Days are long like the hair on the Princess Bride of Christ? You feel more like the mistress. But the Godfather still the one that fixes Despicable Me thinks I Am Legend. The Silence of the Lamb when He faced the Sanhedrin It's step one to put down the Menace II Society so the Nightmare's finished On Elm Street or West Side the Story the same; you want the Juice you gotta call on His name Cause the Lion King and the Prince of Thieves has been Robin Hoods of Mid-Summer Night's Dreams So the Boyz in the Hood are playing Hunger Games And the Dream Girls just can't Do the Right Thing It's more than a Brave Heart the reach the End Game Put down the Pulp Fiction and Shawshanks Redemption comes when the Holy Ghost is Inside Man just check the Son 'cause he's Returnin' like the Jedi I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens I be watchin screens, watchin watchin watchin screens And know just what you're seein' isn't always what it seems I open my phone up to see these notices show up that need my focus And so I'm a read the moment I know of em See the goal is to stay up to date with all of the latest and greatest So I can have all the apps and play all my games in one place It's also distracting me from reality's tragedies that I'd rather not face Unless I can have this in front of me So I see what I wanna see, I can be who I wanna be In my world I'm a name on a screen, and I can be famous It seems So crazy to think that, I won't ever make it, because I'm watching my phone instead of Addressing the basics Since I wanna be an Annedroid with a Bluetooth antenna I need a Snapchat with a Hashtag, and a youtube channel Tweeting daily for my fans, and sharing on Instagram And showing stories on Facebook to everyone I can Putting musical playlists on Pandora and Spotify And then I open Sound Cloud to look at all the replies Then I'm also checking Kik, Google Hangouts and Viber My yahoo email, and my gmail, as well as my Google Drive It's a way to stay connected, so I can see what's next it's Also how to watch TV, thanks to Hulu and Netflix But I recognize not everyone has a screen on their phone You didn't Uber with Google Maps to the Tinder date you found with Chrome That you paid for with paypal, well if not then lesson learned I didn't come to Crush your Candy man, I'm just the Messenger

They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier" And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas They buried innocents that year I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch The light he said at the end of the tunnel Was nothing but a burglars torch And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free But they chained my mind to an endless tune When they took my only son from me I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.
