Braindead
F.T.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something strange about the impact of the internet
It's got me questioning these people's intellect
In a way it's kind of strange how they lack the use of brains
Yet people applaud their cause and now it's driving me insane
I tried to dig into the main source of the problem
These people's are like zombies mindless someone has to stop them
Zoned out on the phone, YouTube and twitter
Can't even take time off even when you're on the shitter
Welcome to the anti-social experiment you're all a part of
Like for like, follow, share, don't forget to tap that Instagram heart on
We no longer have to wonder we can google it to start with
And since we all have smart phones we now win any trivial argument
Conversations don't last long, every detail's documented
I see Facebook posts from seven years ago and I regret it
Children learn more from tablets than parents how much longer will it take?
Welcome to the mental evolution of the modern human race

There's just one thing in life I don't to do
That's be a brain dead motherfucker just like you
Don't try to convince me that you haven't been lobotomized
Look at the times man you must have all lost your damn mind
There's just one thing in life I don't to do
That's be a brain dead motherfucker just like you
Don't try to convince me that you haven't been lobotomized
Look at the times man you must have all lost your damn mind

Frustrated, fatigued, denial, diseased
These are symptoms doctor google provided for a sneeze
You may have cancer if you choose to believe
And the chemist provides a solution for ease
The power of the internet is taken for granted
Millions of people logging on just looking for answers
Like the questions of life exists in the plains of the web
And my phone inches me ever so close to death
For every two friends you gain on Facebook you lose one IRL
And no auto correct phones means that I cant spell
Apparently its very revolutionary technology
But all I see is the rest of the world dumber than me
This overwhelming public forum makes Facebook soldiers
Keyboard warriors loaded with QWERTY rifles on shoulders
Scoped in with the caps lock but the safety is off
Going crazy online while their brains rot

There's just one thing in life I don't to do
That's be a brain dead motherfucker just like you
Don't try to convince me that you haven't been lobotomized
Look at the times man you must have all lost your damn mind
There's just one thing in life I don't to do
That's be a brain dead motherfucker just like you




Don't try to convince me that you haven't been lobotomized
Look at the times man you must have all lost your damn mind
