lyrics

CHORUS: Put down your cell phone, and be here now
Put down your cell phone, you'll survive somehow
Put down your cell phone, we don't need that sound
Put it down, put it down, put it down
CHORUS B Put down your cell phone, don't give it a glance
Put down your cell phone let it vibrate in your pants
Put down your cell phone at home or in town
Put it down put it down put it down

You don't need to be online every single minute
Recording each moment instead of being in it
You're missing the party, the show on the stage
When you're busy posting photos to your Facebook page
CHORUS

Oy, it's annoying when you're in a crowd
And people are talking way too loud
Or you hear every word of a personal call
That someone's making in the next toilet stall! CHORUS

When I see people who text and drive
I wanna say, Hey, I'd rather stay alive
Do you need to make phone calls everywhere you are,
If it's really so important then stop your damn car! CHORUS

BRIDGE Why do we always need to be connected
The people we're with deserve to be respected
(They deserve to be respected!) So . . . .

CHORUS A, CHORUS B
TAG Put it down put it down - ignore a call when it comes
put it down put it down - stifle (or 'put away') your thumbs
Put it down put it down - we'll show you how
Put it down put it down put it down - right now!
