Everybody's on the Phone

Message in a bottle, rhythm of a drum

Smoke signals and telegraphs made the airwaves hum

But that's all ancient history, like farms and Lincoln Logs

Now we're living like the Jetsons in a wacky wireless fog

Talkin', squawkin', hawkin', who knows if anybody's giving truth?

Coaster talk to crackberries, Boston to Bombay

Teenage schemes and mall bell dreams as minutes tick away

We act like crazy people talking to ourselves

Crashing cars for conversation, still that shit flies off the shelf

The information superhighway's crawling like an L.A. traffic jam

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to socialite

We all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog Rome

And everybody's on the phone

Do you remember dialing up? Yes, I remember well

Now I just can't go anywhere without my sacred cell

I think that I might die if I miss anything at all

Text me, send an email, link me up, give me a call!

I'm ADD on AOL and trying to read the writing on the wall

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to socialite

We all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog Rome

And everybody's on the phone

Now I'm a real jungle jumper, I'm a megahertz man

I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download in the dropout zones

In every major city 'cross the land

I got Bob Marley on my ringtone, get up

Stand up, reach out, touch somebody, man!

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to socialite

We all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog Rome

And everybody's on the phone

I'm a digital explorer in an analog phone

Everybody's on the phone

Yeah, can you hear me?

Wait, wait, can you hear me now?

Oh, this shit's battery's going out, wait a minute, wait a minute

Now wait a minute, let me get over to the window

Did you get that? Ah, shit

I'll call you back
