ZOMBIES WALK AMONG US

ZOMBIES WALK AMONG US

Zombies walk among us, you see them every day
Walking down the street while looking down at a screen
Ignoring everything around them, pushing everyone else away
Attached to an inanimate object like it's some beautiful dream
When you talk to them, they always say "Huh?" and "What?"
The world passes them by while they're not paying attention
Only a dead batter would make them actually look up
And respond to their name that was just mentioned
They can't live without their toys, even while eating
In the company of others they can be so rude
They're even staring down at a screen during a business meeting
If it was all taken away from them, they wouldn't know what to do
They'll never appreciate the beauty of an evening sky
As the universe dazzles us with its many stars
They're too busy holding their phones up and wondering why
They can't get any better coverage than two bars
Missing out on what really matters in this journey called life
As they waste it all away by staring down at a screen day and night.
