Videos That Say We're Alone

I'm so tired of people using this technology to spread the word about how technology leaves us more stranded. 
If anything it's a bit heavy handed
I don't know if they don't realize it and are actually candid
They'd throw away my phone cause they've already banned it
I can connect to old friends I'd almost forgotten
Haven't seen the changes and achievements they've gotten
But I can catch up with them and see where they're trottin
And ask about stories whose videos they've shot and
Pictures they took and memories they've made
But oh no oh god how dare I, they've forbade
Its use for expansion of friends and foundations laid
Acting like there's never been a time in the past when people were alone
When they woke up and slept where the sun never shone
And had the feelings malaise and tiredness to the bone
With friends who were almost there in their vision cone
Face to face chitchat and smalltalk aren't a tome
You're not using the tech right if your mind hasn't grown
With a conversation over facebook or on a phone
How dare you close your eyes and not see
That in the people talking who're the point of vitality
The technology doesn't make a difference to me
Letters, newspapers, herald yellers, all came on trees
then we moved forward to phones and electricity
With it being used well and informatively
And used for bullshit that'd be taking a pee
So get with the times, understand 
that we just have bigger soapboxes to stand
on and to jump and yell and ask for a hand
And complain about having nowhere to crashland
As the loss of friends makes you feel like you were canned
Packed away forgotten, drifted away in the sand
Realize, the fact that your voice can be heard
All the heartwarming stories off the editor's desk would be cleared
The pictures of humans that would all just be sheared
And access to history that's both respected and leered
That info can't be hidden if by those in power it's feared
If the ugly head of reality is reared in a matter of weeks it's easily speared
That we're too young, we need to learn to use it
Cause this thing right here? It needs to be cheered.
