A funny song about cell phone addiction

lyrics

Chorus:
I’ve got nomophobia, it’s getting out of hand.
Can’t live without my phone, I’m sure you understand.
I’m just another victim of an evil corporate plan.
I’ve got nomophobia, It’s getting out of hand.

J: At first it was a phone, as simple as can be.
To get hold of other people and they’d get hold of me.
K: And then I started texting just in case they missed my call.
My God I was so witty then, each ended with a “LOL”.

J: Before long I could email, got music on phone.
Checking news and traffic to find the best way home.
K: And then came social media, it seemed like harmless fun,
Endless hours of scrolling, my obsession had begun.

Chorus

K: Many times I’ve lost it and that’s been quite a scare,
J: Searching every pocket and finding nothing there.
K: Racing back to where I was to find my precious toy.
J: To hold it in my hands again, unmitigated joy!

Bridge:
Calls and texts and emails Maps and banking too, Wikipedia settles arguments for you.
News and information, politics and porn.
It’s the last thing that I touch at night and first thing every morn.

Chorus

Tog: So I bought the latest model with a bigger better screen.
Higher resolution and the camera is a Dream.
Gigabytes of memory, it’s one Damn sexy phone!
I couldn’t live without it now ‘cause then I’d be alone.

it’s a flashlight, it’s a compass,
it’s an alarm clock, it’s my calendar,
It’s a timer, holds my photos,
it’s for when I feel socially awkward It’s for dating
when you’re waiting, it’s for banking,
it’s my personal assistant, navigations,
negotiations, book vacations,
master bat…. (woah!)

Chorus
