Текст песни Children of the Internet (feat. Dave & Es Devlin) [Ezra Collective Remix] - Future Utopia feat. Ezra Collective, Dave & Es Devlin

Look
I grew up in a good but a changing age
My wife and kids,
Damon Wayne's
When the youth club was
Everybody's favorite place
Where if you spoke to a girl
Then it was face to face
Bro I've seen the heart of a hood
Turn trendy
Kids lose interest
Parks turn empty
Social media has got us all
Less friendly
Now can't you see the irony
She's got game when she types to me
But nothing in person
That ain't the type for me
Askin "Can we go to dinner yet?"
In the flesh
No conversation, nor intellect
The future generation are the children of the internet

Look
It's all changing I'm seeing it now
You can meet a hundred people
Without leaving your house
Putting pictures in the frames and memories in the cloud
You know everybody keeps their memories in the cloud
We finally found a voice and we ain't speaking as loud
People only wanna listen to the sheep in the crowd
And any other statement gets you cancelled by an activist
That's never helped with the cause they're tweeting about
Do you blame public figures and personalities
For giving little kids a warped view of reality
Or blame all the apps that make a killing
In finding a sweet spot in your self hating vanity
Could you argue that it's boarderline dangerous
To take a picture of a girls face and start changing it
In one quick filter
Your nose looks thinner
Your eyes look fuller
Your lips look bigger
Your software is better and your phone knows everything
If anything it's getting George Orwellian

Look
It's all connected
Nobody's protected from business collectives
Your info's collected

(Children of the internet)

(Your info collected)

As a species we now have to redefine what it means to be connected

(Children of the internet)

A recent study showed that the average person earnestly
At least swipes, taps, pinches their phone at least
A million times a year

(Your info collected)
People feel naked, inadequate and utterly vulnerable
Without their phone
It's a primary conduit of personal, social, and work life
(Children of the internet)
There are more active cell phones on the planet than people
The mobile phone is both a connection and a disconnection device
It is typically placed between a human and its surroundings
Tuning it's surrounding out
