Do you feel as though in this life you are living under a microscope
well do not be afraid nobody these days really takes the time to look up close
no one is checking the facts no one is doing the math
there’s no more face to face contact
these days no one’s got a penny or cent a nickel or dime they can lend to you so can go on spillin that selfish useless little rhyme scheme
oh come on who can waste anymore time
But if you need a hand to pull you out of what you are sinking in
I’ll be around I’m not going anywhere soon i am glued to this town
and the strip malls the sidewalk scenes too
I know the way it stacks up too much for one to take
Let help you out I'm by the phone I’m not afraid to pick it up
I’m living life by the phone I’m not afraid to pick it up
I know we’re living life by the phone so why don’t we try to save the world with it
Home is a phone and home is where I am going
Home is a bone that a dog will never stop chasing
All of this life all in one night
All of their light, they shine so bright
When I wake in the morning I can hear all the light I can see every voice at the same time
I know that's the way things will be for the rest of our lives
