Traveling the Tubes,

Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter
Instagram, tinder and flickr
Our addicted life keeps getting bigger

Traveling the tubes of our online existence
Going the distance
Using our online assistance

Addicted to likes
Trolling at night
Swiping right
Watching followers start to spike

Thousands of friends
With messages To send
There's only so much of the truth you can
Actually bend

Taking pics next to your fancy car
A famous Rockstar
Or with your buddies In some bar

Real life is slipping away
Your threads of real time Are starting to fray 
Eventually your soul will start to pay

Spending alot of your time
While online 
Feeling your health decline
Instead of finding a mountain that you
Could possibly climb!

Getting upset
When friends forget
To like your texts
There's no respect

Kids at work
Thinks there phones are a perk
If you tell them to put them away, they call you a jerk
And there feeling's get hurt!

Unfortunately our future 
Is stuck in a computer 
It is used as a recruiter

To trap humans 
And to keep track of there movement's
It's all kind of a nuisance!
