We are lost in social separation
We forgot we're all one
What's the cost of the Facefook generation?
Craving cool, indulgent fun
(but where's the Sun?)
Locked inside
We hide
Staring at the screen
Sharing shots of where we’d been
Life On Line
No sunshine
All our dreams
Turned to memes
All hooked up, plugged into the network
As we feed on the feed
All fucked up, desperate for attention
But on transmission, not receive
(Can we believe what we receive?)
See the places that I’d been
And the cool things that I’d seen
Don't you wanna be as cool as me
(in my cage)?
I hope you wish that you’d been there
But where you were I just don’t care
Just want your comment, like and share
(on my page)
Instrumental
So as we comment, like and share
Sat in our rooms in our underwear
Real freedom is becoming rare
The social fabric we all tear
Our time is typing trivia
Into cyber space oblivia
Big pharma binge on our poor health
Big banks are stealing all our wealth
We drink and snog and post and blog
A funny kitten, chasing dog
Balance fallen, off a log
In self indulgent cyber smog
all plugged in to a social site
all dumbed down mostly sharing shite
never met our "friends" in a face to face
our reptilian brains run the human race...
LoL
I'd had some ideas for a couple of songs knocking around for a while - The Facefook Generation & The Lost Art of Conversation - which I'd never properly finished, but when I was sent a music only demo by a friend and asked if I could put some lyrics to it, I thought that these ideas might work really well. So I pulled out the best parts of the lyrics I already had, mostly from The Facefook Generation, to get me going then added lots of new ideas. As always I started off with loads of words which I edited down to fit the brief. The title came from the subject matter and then I realised it abbreviated to LoL which of course made me laugh out loud ;) (but also, how appropriate!)
The tune was then used for another project instead, so I created some new music of my own to fit my words and the result is the acoustic version you hear here. Here! Here! :)
