Everybody's on the Phone - Jimmy Buffett

Message in a bottle, rhythm of a drum

Smoke signals and telegraphs make the airwaves hum

But that’s all ancient history like bongs and Lincoln Logs

Now we livin' like the Jetsons in a wacky wireless fog

Talkin' squawkin' hawkin' who knows if anybody’s gettin' through

Toasters talk to crackberries, Boston to Bombay

Teenage schemes and Ma-bell's dreams as minutes tick away

We act like crazy people talking to ourselves

Crashing cars in conversation while that shit flies off the shelf

The information superhighways locked up like a L.A. traffic jam

Everybody’s on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Let me text you with your master plan

You’re loud and clear but I don’t understand

I’m a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody’s on the phone

Do you remember dialing up?

Yes I remember well

Now I just can’t go anywhere with out that sacred cell

I think that I might die if I miss anything at all

Text me, send me an e-mail, link me up, give me a call

I’m ADD on AOL tryin to read the writing on the wall

Everybody’s on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Let me text you with your master plan

You’re loud and clear but I don’t understand

I’m a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody’s on the phone

Now I’m a real jungle jumper

I’m a megahertz man

I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download In the dropout zones

In every major city 'cross the land

I got my Marley on my ringtone, get up, stand up, reach out, touch somebody man

Everybody’s on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites

Let me text you with your master plan

You’re loud and clear but I don’t understand

I’m a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody’s on the phone

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me now?

I gotta get over by the beerstand

Oh shit my batteries are going

I’ll call you back
