Marcy walks along
Eyes cast down
Cell phone on her ear
She’s talking ‘bout nothing much
No one can hear

      And the world goes on around her
      The world goes on around her
      The world goes on around her     Disconnect

Jon plays video games for hours
While his bicycle collects dust
He doesn’t ride it anymore
These games are just too much

      And the world goes on around him
      The world goes on around him
      The world goes on around him     Disconnect

               And the sun is bright
               The sky is clear
               The birds are singing
               But they don’t see or hear

Barb’s a social network junkie
Spends all her time on line each night
But all her cyber buddies
Are still strangers in the morning light

      And the world goes on around her
      The world goes on around her
      The world goes on around her     Disconnect

Bill stares at the TV 
But he can’t see
His own life passing by
All his favorite shows 
Are his alibi

      And the world goes on around him
      The world goes on around him
      The world goes on around him     Disconnect

               And the stars are bright
               The moon is full
               But the beauty of the earth
               Has lost its pull

      And the world goes on around them
      The world goes on around them
      The world goes on around them     Disconnect
