Just put the phone down,
Don't follow the flock.
Just put the phone down,
And maybe we'll talk.
Don't look it up,
Don’t need to know why.
Don’t want the answer,
Meet me eye to eye.
Let's have a moment,
Share some head space.
Leave questions unanswered,
Inhabit one place.
The screen doesn't give,
A genuine impression.
Except of a person's,
Unhealthy obsession.
It's honesty I need,
Now more than ever.
Not some stranger's comments,
That makes him sound clever.
Don't care about the memes,
That try to make you laugh.
Don't need to be outraged,
By a dumb photograph.
Just put the phone down,
Don't follow the flock.
Just put the phone down,
And maybe we'll talk.
Don't look it up,
Don’t need to know why.
Don’t want the answer,
Meet me eye to eye.
Don't need further details,
On the Middle-East.
I have more concern for,
The problems on my street.
The rivers of chaos,
Vulgarity and greed.
Vapidity, conspiracy,
On the misinforming feed.
The uncontrolled addiction,
The digital affliction.
The venal exhibition,
Of every politician.
Hypnotized, mesmerized,
Anesthetized, lobotomized.
Paralyzed, desensitized,
Our future is jeopardized.
Just put the phone down…

I’m surprised a song like this hadn’t already been written. It’s a song that needs to be sung!
I’m pretty sure it has. But I haven’t heard it yet. I call this tune a PSA on behalf of my wife, and some of the lyrics are the things she is always saying.
