THE FUTURE'S GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME

~ by Barley Corne

The first thing when I get up in the morning

The mist of sleep still fogging up my brain

I have to get online and bring up Facebook

And lose myself in cyberspace again

My profile picture probably needs changing, 

So I look much more together than I am

Share a couple viral videos from YouTube

It looks like I’ll be late for work again

If I don’t watch out

     (If he don’t watch out)

These modern wonders

Are gonna bring 

     (They’re gonna bring)

Me to my knees

There is no hope

     (He's lost all hope)

Of ever changing

The Future will

     The Future's gonna be the death of me!

Accidently dropped my cellphone in the toilet

Lost my entire phonebook in a flash

I couldn’t make the call she was expecting

Hope she doesn’t throw my stuff out in the trash

I had to use the payphone at the Roadhouse

You know the one at exit 43

Tried to tell her I was working at the office

But, I was busted by my GPS-ID

If I don’t watch out

     (He won’t watch out)

These modern wonders

Are gonna bring 

     (They’re gonna bring)

Me to my knees

There is no hope

     (He's lost all hope)

Of ever changing

The Future will

     The Future's gonna be the death of me!

I met a girl who said she’s into gaming

That sounded mighty int’resting to me.

I got her to escort me to her parlor

Then I saw the 12’ foot Sony L.C.D.

(As big as my old Chevvy S.U.V.)

If I don’t watch out

     (He won’t watch out)

These modern wonders

Are gonna bring 

     (They’re gonna slam)

Me to my knees.

There is no hope

    (Abandoned hope)

Of ever changing.

The Future will

     The Future's gonna be the death of me!

I sent a picture to a cute young thing on Twitter

I told her it was just for her to see

I saw it on the TV News next morning

And now the law is coming after me

So my Yahoo’s got my Bing all in a Dogpile

And my G-Mail’s all Linked-in with stuff to share

My cellmate on his FaceBook page Diggs Myspace

And I haven’t seen my Google in a year!

If I don’t watch out

     (He won’t watch out)

These modern wonders

Are gonna bring

     (They’re gonna slam)

Me to my knees.

There is no hope

    (Abandoned hope)

Of ever changing.

The Future will

     The Future's gonna be the death of me!

The Future’s gonna be the death of me!
