LYRICS by Benjamin Russell
Turn it off - and put it in your pocket
Better yet - put in a drawer, and lock it
I don't need conspiracy theories
Dump that junk and throw away the keys
It makes me mad - makes me see red
(I want to shout)
You can't believe anything that they said
(Get out)
The line of bull they're trying to sell
(Well)
Well - it makes me want to yell
Tik Tok tik - they make you think you choose it
Think you're free - but that's just how you lose it
Swipe tap click - you lose sight of the cost
And before you know it you are lost
Makes me feel hopeless and sad
(I want to shout)
Seems we're losing everything that we had
(Get out)
And this is how democracy fell
(Well)
Well - it makes me want to yell
I don't know - it might be too late
(No way)
I don't care - I won't give in to hate
(Not today)
Put down that phone and talk to a friend
(Hey friend)
Give 'em the message - our lives might depend
(Start a trend)
Start a trend, and Yell
It makes me mad - makes me see red
(I want to shout)
You can't believe anything that they said
(Get out)
Makes me feel hopeless and sad
(So bad)
Seems we're losing everything that we had
(We've been had)
And this is how democracy fell
(Well)
Well - it makes me want to yell
