[Verse 1 David Dilin] I remember back when pictures didnt matter I could write a thousand words Now I all I picture is pictures Taking over nouns and verbs If flicks turn into sentences Were finished as a human race Well just look back at polaroids To chat about the youthful days Back when we used to write about What we went through that day Back when we used to say Anything at all Now all we uh, uh, utter are just stutters And we slip on words like butter Cause our brains dont have no words they can recall If pics are worth a thousand words Then why arent we all writers? We just take flicks with cameras And write on where the white is What the date and time is And all thats left is memories That one day wed remember If we took time to describe it Then if we meet writers We can shake hands with date stamps And hope they took a picture With the artificial man You can post on instagram For your artificial fam And theyll reply with pictures Cause theyre not people, theyre webcams [Verse 2 David Dilin] The picture generation is taking over Slouching behind computer screens Were losing our composure Being driven by images depicting which is which And its easy cause its the media We hired as our chauffeur Quick to put your face on instagram of vacation Problems you cant face so you miss the ramifications A like is quick to bring you your instant gratification Twentyfive minutes of fame will be the reason You pop a blood vessel for heart throb Privacys taken, you awake and your heart drops See your face lacing an ad on hot cardstock They own you Take a good look at consequences thrust upon you Take a proper gander at the propaganda fore you hand your life to good lawyers and their proper grammar Stop to grab a breath to blow on the big picture Theyre generating you It all start with a thousand words on paper [Outro Grayson] Researchers from Harvard University Recently found that many people now use the internet In place of a memory. They claim that when someone Wants to know something, they now use the internet As an external memory, just as computers use an external drive The study continued that we are now so reliant On smart phones and laptops, we go into withdrawal When we cant find out something immediately This is the Picture Generation
