EmRather extinct than mentally dead
You can't sCee what I won't sGhow
And you keep a knAockin' hard, I won't hCear
[Chorus]
Cause I'm lEmocking myself in the oCld world
DNothings changed on the hoGme turf

DAll tucked up with the sGame girl
I kBeep it dignifCied

[Verse 2]
EmWhat's the point with a phone that's smart
EmIf you don't have a flexible heart
Beating haCrd to and frGo
EmIf I'm all tapped into the universe
EmWhatever happens if the universe is cuCrsed
I'll be dGamned
You can stand so cAlose but you won't get nCear
Cause I'm loEmcking myself in the olCd world
