Old People Love Their Phone

by The Black Smiths

lyrics

Old people love their phone
It makes sure they’re not alone
It makes sure they’re never sad
Don’t blame you’re Mom and Dad

They used to visit cousins
Made cookies by the dozens
Used to read hard back books
Made their own fly fishing hooks

Now they just love their phone
It makes sure they’re not alone
It makes sure they’re never sad
Don’t blame you’re Mom and Dad

They’d wake, early everyday
To birdwatch and to crochet
Hardship - commonplace
They went to Outer Space

They’d grasp beyond their reach
Took trips to Coco Beach
Did so much its hard to list
Now’ve been reduced to this

Their generation fought wars
Changed rules and opened doors
Now that the battery’s dead
They’re going straight to bed

They used to visit cousins
Made cookies by the dozens
Used to read hard back books
Made their own fly fishing hooks

Old people love their phone
It makes sure they’re not alone
It makes sure they’re never sad
Don’t blame you’re Mom and Dad

Old people love their phone
It makes sure they’re not alone
It makes sure they’re never sad
Don’t blame you’re Mom and Dad

Old people love their phone
It makes sure they’re not alone
It makes sure they’re never sad
Don’t blame you’re Mom
And don’t blame your Dad
