This Digital Age
There's no more need to talk now
In today's digital age
Where all the friends I really need
Are on my Facebook page
Three hundred some odd plus
Are with me day and night
They're all as close as they need be
With one push of my button "Like"
These digital days permit me to say
Will be the ruin of this age
If I knew how better to type
I'd have so much more to say
You've started posting all these pictures
From someone else's site
So I'm not sure if it's you anymore
Or them I really I like
Is this how we all now feel
Can we even feel now anymore
What I feel like most of the time
Is being locked behind closed doors
This digital age is all the rage
That's driving me insane
Trying to get to the nearest exit
But no one will let me over to change lanes
Then there's the text and text and text and text
Until we're all text out
And after all that texting
Do we know what we've texted about
If we ever sat down with someone
Across from them face to face
Would we stare at each other blankly
With no earthly idea of what to say
With this digital craze, it's getting late
We've wandered too far inside this maze
I'm afraid if we don't get out soon
There will be no chance for escape
