"Telephone" lyrics

I wanna wake up and smell the rose
But I can't stop looking at my telephone
Another night another day goes
And I can't stop looking at it
Nobody dies from overstimulation
They just become a new form of vegetation
So commodify your ego
And we won't stop thinking 'bout ya
Can't stop thinking 'bout ya

Somebody tell me how can I escape the matrix
Cease to worship at the obelisk
Entertainment got me obsessed
Like DFW said in Infinite Jest
Which I might never read again
Because I fried my attention span
Don't know what to believe
This telephone got a hold on me

I wanna wake up and smell the rose
But I can't stop looking at my telephone
Another night another day goes
And I can't stop looking at it
Nobody dies from overstimulation
They just become a new form of vegetation
So commodify your ego
And we won't stop thinking 'bout ya
Can't stop thinking 'bout ya

Sometimes my telephone makes me feel more alone
Can't pick up right now leave your message at the tone

I wanna wake up and smell the rose
But I can't stop looking at my telephone
Another night another day goes
And I can't stop looking at it
Nobody dies from overstimulation
They just become a new form of vegetation
So commodify your ego
And we won't stop thinking 'bout ya
Can't stop thinking 'bout ya
