Pushing On Buttons (Staring At Screens)

Say hello to your neighbor look him in the eye
Reach out and shake his hand I’ll tell you why
This world can get lonesome, fearful and mean
When you spend all your time with your head in a screen

Pushin on buttons starin at screens
It’s bad for the heart it’s makin us mean
It washes the brain from what I have seen
Pushin on buttons starin at screens

Movable type and Guttenberg’s press
Made the world smaller improved it I guess
Same with the telegraph, phone and tv
But you hear what you hear, and see what you see

You put on the blinders, you don’t have to think
They can lead you to water and mostly you’ll drink
You’ll forget that you ever had a real choice
It’s a matter of time before you lose your own voice

Pushin on buttons starin at screens
It’s bad for the heart it’s makin us mean
It washes the brain from what I have seen
Pushin on buttons starin at screens

You can have all your socials, your hand held device
Give me a campfire some red beans and rice
Tell me a story from beginning to end
I’ll sit here and listen and call you my friend

Pushin on buttons starin at screens
It’s bad for the heart it’s makin us mean
It washes the brain from what I have seen
Pushin on buttons starin at screens
