Checking

Lyrics for Checking

Anti-gravity telephones
Floating up from pockets
Eyes drifting downward
Magnetic in their sockets

Radio-active mobile phones
Glowing like precious stones
Mesmerizing the Joneses
Into feeling all alone

Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking ...
(Instagram / TikTok)

Am I actually doing something
And what was it?
Why am I on Craigslist?
Oh, look at this!

Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking ...
(Ebay! Kajiji! Etsy!)

There seems to be a vortex
Of people wearing gore-tex
Incessantly texting
Their prospects and their exes

Texting texting texting texting
Texting texting texting texting
Texting texting texting texting …
Special person...



Mechanical contraptions
Engineered for distractions
Fracturing the masses
Into fractious fascist factions

Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
(The News / Facebook / Twitter)

There's something on the internet
I'd really like to check
It's probably irrelevant
But it'll only take a sec
