00:30.601[Verse 1: Dave]
00:32.624Look
00:33.922I grew up in a good but a changin' age
00:36.470My wife and kids, Damon Wayans
00:39.220When the youth club was everybody's favourite place
00:41.528Where if you spoke to a girl, then it was face-to-face
00:44.224Bruh, I seen the heart of the hood turn trendy
00:46.572Kids lose interest, parks turn empty
00:49.292Social media's got us all less friendly
00:51.996Now can't you see the irony?
00:53.656She's got game when she types to me
00:55.760But nothin' in person, that ain't the type for me
00:57.831Asking, "Can we go for dinner?", yet in the flesh
01:01.366No conversation, no intellect
01:03.246The future generation of the children of the internet
01:11.505[Verse 2: Dave]
01:16.797Look
01:17.538It's all changin', I'm seein' it now
01:19.177You can meet a hundred people without leaving your house
01:22.047Puttin' pictures in a frame, it's a memory in the clouds
01:24.406You know everybody keeps their memories in the cloud
01:27.602We finally found a voice, and we ain't speaking as loud
01:30.234People only wanna listen to the sheep and the crowd
01:32.982And any other statement gets you cancelled by an activist
01:36.028That's never helped the cause that they're tweeting about
01:38.662Do you blame public figures and personalities
01:41.749For giving the little kids a warped view of reality?
01:44.312Or blame all of the apps that make a killing
01:46.983On finding the sweet spot in your self-hate and vanity?
01:50.153Could you argue that it's borderline dangerous
01:52.542To take a picture of a girl's face and start changin' it?
01:55.609With one quick filter, your nose looks thinner
01:57.993Your eyes look fuller, your lips look bigger
02:00.763Your software's better and your phone knows everything
02:03.661If anything, it's getting George Orwell-ian (Yeah)
02:16.291[Bridge: Dave]
02:16.689Look
02:18.075It's all connected, nobody's protected
02:20.306From business collectives, your info's collected
02:25.101
04:20.919[Outro: Es Devlin & Dave]
04:22.990Children of the internet
04:44.822Your info collected
04:47.598As a species, we now have to redefine what it means to be connected
04:56.067Children of the internet
04:58.312A recent study showed that the average person earnestly swipes, taps, pinches their phone a million times a year
05:07.098Your info collected
05:09.733People feel naked, inadequate and utterly vulnerable without their phone
05:13.107It's a primary conduit of personal, social and work life
05:17.974Children of the internet
05:20.627There are more active cell phones on the planet than people
05:25.018The mobile phone is both a connection and disconnection device
05:29.583It is typically placed between the human and its surroundings
05:34.427Tuning the surroundings out
