People plugged in everywhere To ipods, games and phones Like non-existent robots The world is full of drones We're now made up of circuit boards We've lost all of our bones Be different, and unplug yourself Grow a pair of stones Your life is electronic on a tablet or a chip You run your life remotely you give people email lip you wouldn't dare go jogging you might fall and break a hip Be different, and unplug yourself And give technology the slip A record made of vinyl now it's just some bits and bytes It's a relic in an antique store Along with other sights Like cameras using flashbulbs when taking shots at night Be different and unplug yourself Show digital your might It doesn't matter where you go A text, you have to send If you're going to the shopping mall Or just walking 'round the bend You've more holsters on your belt loop Than gunfighters would depend To hold onto their weapons Before they met their end Turn off the boxes, read a book Do something that's old school Don't follow all the others Acting like a dumb pack mule Don't rely on electronics Just use it as a tool Unplug yourself from everything Be a leader not a fool People plugged in everywhere To ipods, games and phones Like non-existent robots The world is full of drones We're now made up of circuit boards We've lost all of our bones Be different, and unplug yourself Grow a pair of stones

Unplug yourself
People plugged in everywhere To ipods, games and phones Like non-existent robots The world is full of drones We're now made up of circuit boards We've lost all of our bones Be different, and unplug yourself Grow a pair of stones Your life is electronic on a tablet or a chip You run your life remotely you give people email lip you wouldn't dare go jogging you might fall and break a hip Be different, and unplug yourself And give technology the slip A record made of vinyl now it's just some bits and bytes It's a relic in an antique store Along with other sights Like cameras using flashbulbs when taking shots at night Be different and unplug yourself Show digital your might It doesn't matter where you go A text, you have to send If you're going to the shopping mall Or just walking 'round the bend You've more holsters on your belt loop Than gunfighters would depend To hold onto their weapons Before they met their end Turn off the boxes, read a book Do something that's old school Don't follow all the others Acting like a dumb pack mule Don't rely on electronics Just use it as a tool Unplug yourself from everything Be a leader not a fool People plugged in everywhere To ipods, games and phones Like non-existent robots The world is full of drones We're now made up of circuit boards We've lost all of our bones Be different, and unplug yourself Grow a pair of stones
