The night has crept in but our skies remain lit

what is the world in which we live

The lamps are all off but windows remain bright

what is the world in which we live

No more do we worry about writing in script

what is the world in which we live

surrounded by ringtone's an smart phones 

kids don't go outside when they believe their social in their homes

forgetting to talk or even say hello

but these are the things they were taught at birth 

to hide from the world and rely on a screen

this is the sadest of all of the things

we'We've forgotten the past and advance to the future

plugged into an unknown speaker

only heard when we text but never in person

we're losing the reasons to confirm that we're human

what is the world in which we live 

you lost out on happiness because it passed by

while you were texting he was walking outside

we're losing our futures and we're signing our life

away to the people who can turn friends into Iphone fives

what is the world in which we live
