VERSE1
Before we had the cell phone, Before we had the text,
When we found our destination, we took the time to rest
To call home on a pay phone, To say we were OK,
And ask how all were doing and call another day
(so long ago)
|
VERSE2
You tried to call me on my cell phone yesterday,
You didn't leave a message of what you had to say
I'm sorry that I missed you I hope you were OK,
I know you may have wondered why it seemed I was away
|
CHORUS
I'm off the grid, that's what I did
No network pinging me 'cause I have powered off
No google map, no on my way
I'm undetectable until I'm back online
It's time to go on home and find out
what's been happening while I have been away
|
BRIDGE
We used to talk about Big Brother
He was watching every move we made
And now you're talking to Alexa.
She remembers every word you say
Sends it up to the corporate data base
|
VERSE3
I'm tried of the system knowing who I'm talking to,
Which beer I Iike to drink, and where I go to think
The street I like to drive on and where I pump my gas,
If I like the Beatles, Fastball or the Clash
|
CHORUS2
I'm off the grid, that's what I did
No network pinging me 'cause I have powered off
No Siri Tunes, no E-mogie
I'm undetectable until I'm back online
It's time to go on home and find out
what's been happening while I have been away
|
EPILOGUE
I'm off the grid, bye bye
I'm off the grid, bye bye
I'm off the grid, that's what I did
I'm off the grid, bye bye
