Abstract
The Lion, the Witch, and the Smartphone
[Intro]
Popular tonight: cell phone addiction on the rise; experts say it's just like being addicted to drugs or alcohol and it should be taken seriously. How do you tell if you're addicted though? Do you have anxiety about going phoneless? Are you unable to turn your cell off and do you stress about running out of battery power? Constantly looking for new emails, and text messages, and calls? If so, you could be an addict.

We'll bring it up
We'll bring it up
We'll bring it up
Startin' think these kids don't give a fuck
We'll bring it up
We'll bring it up
We'll bring it up
Startin' think these kids don't give a
[Verse]
Said, "Who am I?" and, "Who are you?"
No newer eyes, only newer yous
War stars corruption, it's all new on news
Tweetin' 'stead of reachin', thinkin', "What's the use?"
I mean, does that "share" save lives?
Does it dry their tears, does it blue their skies?
Talkin' 'bout changin' the world, can't believe these guys
Talkin' bout changin' the world, can't believe these times
If times is rough, why they Suptempo stuff on my radio?
If you had enough, then what's up? You gotta let 'em know
Borders 'bout to change; CNN coverin' missin' planes
And you don't care unless shit is trendin' up on your Twitter page
We livin' inside a quitter age
We're on south of litter, easily belittle, this a different age
Chargin' cigarettes, swipin' left is how they turn the page
Couple emojis said, no regret, it's how they channel rage
Let me be the lion, let me be the witch
Cell phone be the wardrobe sittin' from this shit
Think it's funny seein' you get lost in the hand it sits
Through that screen there's a world that used to not exist
You are the half, you are the path
It's a fact, do the math
Minute to minute, updated on everyone you ever known
So busy in that world that you hardly ever visit home
Sittin' at dinner, lost within the screen
Swipin' through Instagram, lost within the scenes
Followin' other people, lost inside their dreams
The feed of all the world's problems, lost within the screams
Problems you might fiend to have answered
If so, look for the black post and lantern
You'll find me posted, the new world gambler
Tryna make a life off the cyberlife's cancer
