My first draft of a song I'm working on about the mobile lifestyle most of us now lead.
Mobile Lifestyle First Draft

One day I feel like the world will meet it's end
Not from illnesses or famine but the satellite trend
Virtually recounting all the knowledge that you've ever read
While they're tweeting it from Nandos, or picking out their subway bread.

Have we finally reached that point in time, where we need to know whats on your mind, by the time we've got online, we'll have just clicked away our lives.

I tell you one day soon, that your parents and mine, will remember when they die, the years of
tuning the hi-fi. And if you ever tell your children tales of what your life is like, they've probably already read it, from their Google glass eyes.

Pretty soon in time, the whole world wide, will be joined in Wi-Fi. Instagramming when we've died. And your wife will one day realise, the only thing she needs inside, is the feeling that her phone provides, when she's texting flirty chat up lines.

So my message to you is this, that the world you shouldn't miss, before your eyes are micro-chipped and your memory's unequipped. Don't come crying to me mate, when you realise your mistake, the fact that you're a slave, to the cyborgs and the robots found in your computer games.
