Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got my phone in my pocket
It keeps tellin’ me what to do
Says it’ll “update overnight”
Like it’s smarter than me and you
But back in my day
Baby
You had to fight to make tech obey
Type a line
Curse a line
Watch the cursor blink your life away
[Chorus]
I got them Tandy Color blues
Wanna boot that gray box again
Green screen glow on my glasses
Plastic keys under my hands
You had to know what you were doing
Just to make that thing say “HI”
Now the world just taps a picture
And it all goes who
What
Why
[Verse 2]
Kids swipe left
Swipe right
Never read a manual once
They call me in for “tech support”
’Cause I know how to plug things in
Those punks
Back when RAM was tiny
We made castles in 16K
One wrong comma in that code
You were startin’ from scratch all day
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Well you ain’t truly lived
Till you spent all night
Chasing down one missing bracket
Under flickering fluorescent light
[band chuckles]
Now everything’s so user friendly
Even grandma’s buying stock online
And I’m here hugging floppy disks
Like “beep twice if you still mine”
[Chorus]

Style
Loose barrelhouse blues band, honky-tonk piano and rusty slide guitar trading licks. Male vocals with a wink, lots of call-and-response from a small bar crowd. Choruses get louder and rowdier each time, drummer leans into swung backbeat, walking bass keeps it bouncy. Harmonica steps out for a cheeky middle break before a big laugh-out ending., blues
