Lyrics

"What Happens When The Lights Go Out"
(Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster - Music - M. Novak)


We now hold life in the palm of our hand
Never set the phone down losing connection
Thinking that the world is now at our command
Relying on it’s output for all life’s direction
When the kids think the answers are there on the screen
Critical thinking bypassed its now in the machine

A down loaded APP is the brain’s substitution
Chatting and a map and opinion in hand
Trusting these APPS gives us absolution
Never questioning the answer just follow it’s command
We call it progression at the brain’s recession
We are now so programmed we don’t even question

CHORUS:

New lights off loss of one’s direction
New lights off no more personal connection
New lights are off caused by a viral infection
Old lights are on now back to the stone age
Old lights are on most people lost in rage
Old lights are on now we play on a brand new stage



What would you do if the screen goes black
A call for help is not a possibility
All voices silent you can’t go it back
Never in your life lacking stability
Your location was a dot on a screen.
You don’t know where your going or where you have been

CHORUS:

Messaging is now talk or a handwritten letter
With your location lost could you find your way back
With reliance on the written word is it worse or better
No more credit cards, better put your cash in a stack
Learn the old skills trust the old ways of society
Current generations now exist in a new type of sobriety

CHORUS:
