Something in the Water

There was a time when you’d look them in the eye
Think before you act, listen to the voice inside
Stuck in this digital world, now it’s time to rewind
Come with me to a society that runs on shares and likes
The neighborhood is finally gone for good, lock up and stay inside
Because something’s in the water that's poisoning our minds
Corroding everything inside
Filled with apathy and negativity
Ignore the warning signs
We’ve lost that human touch. A natural bond that once connected us
Build up your walls and build thеm high
Never mind what’s on the othеr side
We’re all in its control. This life is all we know
Fallacy of popularity, you overstate your worth
What you see is not reality and we’re all self-absorbed
There's something in the water that's threatening our lives
A byproduct of changing times
Anonymity when you’re behind a screen
It’s too easy to hide
We’re all so quick to judge and point the finger when the blame’s on us
What happened to humility, empathy and our integrity?
There was a time when you’d look them in the eye
Think before you act, listen to the voice inside
Stuck in a digital world, now it’s time to rewind
But now it’s gone, lost our common decency
Human interaction has been replaced with screens
But now we got to shut it off, it’s time to break free
How will they learn to love when hate is all they’ve ever known of us?
Our kids see mankind at its worse
Will it be a blessing or a curse?
