I Guess It's Smart
I woke up this mornin’ and my phone was playin’
A song about mornin’ rain
How did my phone know that it was rainin’?
I guess it’s smart and I can’t complain
I guess it’s smart
To project your signal
Straight up into the sky
I guess it’s smart
To be wild, young and single
To look at God and deny
I showed my face to the wall and it knew me
I didn’t even have to sign my name
This world makes it easy to do one’s duty
I guess it’s smart ‘cause it rarely complains
I guess it’s smart
To set up a system
Works at the blink of an eye
I guess it’s smart
To be like some victim
To look at God and deny
I talked to my lover but my lover don’t talk
It don’t even know that it is
Skin made of silicone and thoughts pale as chalk
I guess it’s smart based on its messages
I guess it’s smart
To channel the network
To cast that all-powerful die
I guess it’s smart
So don’t be that one jerk
Who looks to God and doesn't deny
I guess it’s real smart
To cancel the artist
At the word of the activist
I guess it’s smart
To question what “smart” is
But on this, I must insist
But on this, I must insist
