lyrics

Push Repeat

She closed the window locked her door
Left a mess upon the floor
Television trapping dust in silence
Slow subsidence to obsolete
Lose the moment waste the day
To the wretched cabaret
Given over to a new excess
Distracts possess and encloses her

But she’s never alone with the world on the phone in her hand
(Small town – wide world connection)
And her Daddy complains its insane but he don’t understand
It’s a fix for the twenty-first century girl
See how she lives her life through the screen
Hooked on like its methamphetamine

Four hours a day - no break away
(Communication will be all machine based)
So come out and play - come stand in the rain
(I want to see your face)

When the music fogs his brain
He’ll push repeat and play again
Hit the bottle ‘til he’s all but blind and
Still he finds he’s not satisfied
He sucks the plastic cigarette
One more evening to forget
One more image to reduce debase
No warm embrace just the animal

But he’s never alone with the world on the phone in his hand
(Small town – wide world connection)
And his Daddy complains its insane but he don’t understand
It’s a fix for the twenty-first century boy
See how he lives his life through the screen
Hooked on like its methamphetamine

Praise to you Mr Zuckerberg
Seems we’re better connected now
But everybody’s gone broadcasting
And there’s nobody listening
Hidden here on the surface plane
Where reaction demands no thought at all

The conversations at an end
She checks for messages again
Looking forward to a sad conclusion
Misinformed and misunderstood

But you’re never alone with the world on the phone in your hand
(Small town – wide world connection)
And when your Daddy complains try explain but he won’t understand
It’s a fix for the twenty-first century
See how we live our lives through the screen

Four hours a day - no break away
(Communication will be all machine based)
So come out and play - come out in the rain
I want to see I want to see your face
