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
