Lyrics iPhone Therefore I Am - Gecko

IPhone, you phone
No-ones got no phone
Kick it old school
Like the home phone of a roman
They build the phones
Just to break the phones
Then they make new phones
Then they break those phones
We think about our phones
More than we ring phones
Now I'm all over the place
Like a polyphonic ringtone
When the end of the world finally thunders
We'll be watching it through the screens of our iPhone 500's
Trying to get the best shot

When you're alone and out in public for longer than you planned
Grab your phone out of your pocket
And just stare into your hand
And on a train don't look out the window
People will think you're mad
Grab your phone out of your pocket
And just stare into your hand

We go to places to take photos of places
So people acknowledge our faces were in these places
But when our faces were actually in these places
Our faces weren't acknowledging the places they were faced with
It's something that I'm not certain can be healthy
Before I escaped a fire I took a swift selfie
Help me!I thought I'd look hot
In fact I almost burnt to death
I think one day my obsession's gonna hurt me
No matter how many pages I've refreshed I'm still thirsty
And the fulfilment always seems to avert me
It's like its never friday I'm always stuck at
Flipping thursdayWake up online and stay on it 'til I'm sleepy

Who's in charge here
Me or my charger Percents in the red
I feel physically lethargic
'That's it guys forget me'
'I've completely lost it'
'Go on without me'
'I'm Polly Pocket minus the pockets'
Until hang on in the corner there i spot it
Surely not
My jaw just drops
An available plug socket!
Now I'm plugged in
Relaxed
Forgetting all that frantic stuff
Sipping a latte
Catching up on candy crush
Just treating myself
I've put my brightness on full
I think my mind's part machine
And my dreams a computer
Let's face it we've just gone 'Back to the Future'
Imagine the kids from the 80's faces
If they saw the gadgets we use on a daily basis
There mind's would be blown
They'd find it insane though
I can imagine there disappointment
After we try and explain Aeroplane mode
'No it cant actually make you fly'
'It just puts your phone into a sort of permanent state of no signal'
'A bit like living in Cornwall'
