Immobilised

Wreck the prison society
Rebel against everything that stops us being free
Revolt against patriarchy
Rethink assigned gender and identity
Reject the culture of celebrity
Wreck, Rebel, Revolt, Rethink, Reject

For all these things there is no app
Could it be your smartphone's another clever trap?
Full screen dominance, we're isolated
Keyboard warfare's overrated

Social media does not make a revolution make
Profile, status it's just another fake
Mass communications aren't mine or yours
But another tool to keep us masses indoors

The illusion of community and connection
Has got us all facing in one direction
We won't change much with all the texts we send
Obsessed with the screen and Facebook friends

Can you really do it all from your phone
Or is the power at your fingertips not your own?
Is it all a substitute for taking tho the streets
And the power that we hold when we really meet?

There's no shortcuts on your laptop
We've a long way to go to make the madness stop
Are you carried away with your portable device
And a mobile that keeps you immobilised?

Our time is wasted staring at these screens
When we could be in the real world fighting for our dreams
Breaking the grip of handheld distractions
Shutting down their power as we switch to action

Rage against abuse and brutality
Reclaim our lives and our autonomy
Resist the destruction wreaked by industry
Refuse the impositions of authority
Remember past struggles and our history
Rage, Reclaim, Resist, Refuse, Remember
