I'm standing up to all they've got
And putting my foot down
To the out of control this crazy world holds
With all its enticing sights and sounds

From the mess of the rich and famous
Who really have no idea
That the call for applause is deafening to all
The moment you take that dip

And the feeling you get when you feel this is it
Which really isn't it at all
With time and a word we easily get bored
Long before we reach last call

I'm no longer giving in to giving up
Too often now the thought of the day
With needless arguing, I've had enough
Two wrongs do not a right make

I'm putting my phone on permanent hold
No more of its control over me
I'll now communicate with friends face to face
And keep my eyes from off of the screen

Yes I'm standing up to all the worlds got
And advise you to do the same
This may be our last call to turn it all off
Today now before its too late
