lyrics

Why do we listen as they speculate?
Is there a better way to communicate?
You need us more than we need you
When did we ask for, your point of view

Keep me occupied
As life passes by
Please keep me informed
Don’t say you were never warned
Don’t miss second of this
We’re being watch as we click

Something is happening
While we stare at our screens
Children can’t be children no more
There’s nothing worse than being bored
Knowing everything seems to make us more confused
We feel like we’re in charge but we’re just being used
Something’s been subtracted
We didn’t see we’ve been distracted

Solo 1

Listen closing they’ve got something new
It’s on the TV so this must be true
Who decides what we should see?
Who decides what's right for me?

Am I watching you?
Or are you watching me?
What’s going on
That I can’t see
My heart beats out of my chest
It’s hollowed out there’s nothing left

Something is happening
While we stare at our screens
Children can’t be children no more
There’s nothing worse than being bored
Knowing everything seems to make us more confused
We feel like we’re in charge but we’re just being used
Something’s been subtracted
We didn’t see we’ve been distracted

Solo 2

Something is happening
While we stare at our screens
Children can’t be children no more
There’s nothing worse than being bored
Knowing everything seems to make us more confused
We feel like we’re in charge but we’re just being used
Something’s been subtracted
We didn’t see we’ve been distracted

We’ve been distracted…

We’ve lost
We’ve been distracted
