Backstory:

This is an observational tune that I've been thinking about for a while. I think it is universal in today's world so people could definitely relate to it.                          

Lyrics:

                                                  
                 PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE

verse  Livin' in this world of mass communicating
       Sometimes gets me down
       When I'm sitting somewhere with a crowd of people
       I'll take a look around
       Nobody talks with strangers any more
       Nobody asks, "Where you from?"
       Folks sit alone with those dumb smartphones
       Making their brains go numb

chorus Everybody's PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE
       They can't leave 'em alone
       The world could disappear
       With a bluetooth in their ear
       And they would never even know
       People use to talk face to face
       But those Mayberry days are gone
       Cause everybody's playin,
       PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE

verse  Just last night in a restaurant
       I saw something pretty sad
       Sitting at the table next to me
       Was a little boy with his dad
       They hardly spoke a single word
       The kid might as well be alone
       Their time together, gone forever
       While his dad played with a phone

chorus Everybody's PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE
       We can't leave 'em alone
       The world could disappear
       With a bluetooth in our ear
       And we would never even know
       People use to talk face to face
       But those Mayberry days are gone
       Cause everybody's playin,
       PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE

bridge Sometimes what we call progress
       Can have the opposite effect
       We can talk today without talking
       By just sending a text

chorus Everybody's PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE
       I can't leave it alone
       The world could disappear 
       With a bluetooth in my ear
       And I would never even know
       People use to talk face to face
       But those Mayberry days are gone
       Cause everybody's playin',
       PLAYIN' WITH A PHONE
