Children Of The Internet (Ezra Collective Remix)

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 borderline dangerous

To take a picture of a girl's 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)

(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

Swipes, taps, pinches their phone
