Everybody's on the Phone

Everybody's on the Phone - Jimmy Buffett

Message in a bottle

Rhythm of a drum

Smoke signals and telegraphs

Make the airwaves hum

But that's all ancient history

Like bongs and Lincoln Logs

Now we livin' like the Jet sons

In a wacky wireless fog

Talkin' squawkin' hawkin'

Who knows if anybody's gettin' through

Toasters talk to crack berries

Boston to Bombay

Teenage schemes and mobile dreams

As minutes tick away

We act like crazy people

Talking to ourselves

Crashing cars in conversation

Still that sh*t flies off the shelf

The information superhighways

Crawled up like a L A traffic jam

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Won't you text me with your master plan

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

Do you remember dialing up

Yes I remember well

Now I just can't go anywhere

Without my sacred cell

I think that I might die

If I miss anything at all

Text me send me an e-mail

Ring me up give me a call

I'm ADD on AOL and tryin' to read

The writing on the wall

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Won't you text me with your master plan

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

Now I'm a real jungle jump up

I'm a megahertz man

I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download and the dropouts

On every major city across the land

I got my Marley on my ring tone

Get up stand up reach out

Touch somebody band

Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Won't you text me with your master plan

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

And I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone

And I'm a digital explorer in an analog roam

And everybody's on the phone
