Silent Crowd's

Gary King 1983 (Glasgow)



Click click swipe swipe
This is our daily lives
Nobody wants real contact
They'd rather stay inside

What did you have for dinner?
What do you want to sell?
The curse of social media
Online, we all now dwell

Pandora's box is open
The genie has escaped
There is no fix for this now
We can not close the gate

You will not meet new people
If you want to date
You better download that new app
On there, they all await

The dramas of a family
The arguments you'll see
Nothing is ever private
They share it all with glee

The world is getting lonelier
Off-line, you go unseen
A room of people silent
As they stare down at their screen.
