wasted minds
Today's society is outdone and outdated
by our own imaginations and creativity
science and technology humans created
have turned off all normal activity.
Everywhere you look nowadays
everyone has their cellphones in hand
whether driving or walking they're texting away
The brains only understand screen commands
The children in today's present reality
have no idea what rotary phones are
or rabbit ear antennas for black and white TVs
how they worked or even cassette radios in the car
The best things of our childhood are now antiquated.
We went roller skating and playing in the streets
drinking from the garden hose, no one hesitated,
we'd get sweaty and come home with mud on our feet.
Give me the old days filled with laughter,
Listening to our bedtime stories with dad
as we dreamed of our happily ever after.
We didn't worry about how many gadgets we had
by our own imaginations and creativity
science and technology humans created
have turned off all normal activity.
