Coamhim - Starlight & Smartphones Lyrics

My name is technology
I'm the latest thing
When you press my button
I light up like a screen
I'm the culmination
Of all thought and evolution
I just might be the problem
But I just might be the solution
I'm the coveted and cherished
Newest convenient choice
The rich, they manipulate me
While the poor cry for my voice
I'm not for social consciousness
But I'm not against it, either
You see, I'm just a tool
My sentiment is with the wielder

And now you know yourself
A little less than you know me
I made this whole thing possible
I'm all you hear and see
I was born a simple machine
Now I rule the modern Earth
And if you don't spend a little on me
There ain't a whole lot you're worth

Homo sapiens and dinosaurs
All the same old innovation
My plastic plan's got a whole new clan
Cyborgs and your information
My science wants not for fiction
My fantasies forge the future
I mend your wounded emotions
With an artificially intelligent suture
On a mission making tomorrow
Exponentially today
Many laws govern your existence
Moore's the one only I obey
I got you up to the Moon
I took you all the way to Mars
Just e-sign on the pixelated line
And the Universe is ours

And now you know yourself
A little less than you know me
I made this whole thing possible
I'm all you hear and see
I was born a simple machine
Now I rule the modern Earth
And if you don't spend a little on me
There ain't a whole lot you're worth

One day long ago there was a primate with a plan
The plan became a tool and the monkey was a man
That man was no more monkey because the monkey didn't get it
So that man, he ran away, and the tool, that man, he fed it
Soon enough the tool got bigger than the brain in man's head
So the man, he stopped thinking till his tool made him a bed
Said: Fool, I'm your tool, why don't you lay down just a minute
Till this very day the man is deep asleep and lying in it

The truth, it's up to me now
And I don't care much what it is
As long as my screens get touched
And my bytes are good for biz
I'm a self-perpetuating plummet
Downloading from birth to hearse
No Sun is shining through this cloud
'Less you backed up your data first
Power off is no longer an option
Driver-less to the destination
Wishing upon a satellite
And praying to the space station
Download speeds to die for
Intelligent revolving doors
My name is technology
Nice to meet you, what was yours
