[Verse 1]
EmAmEm
Say Hello to your neighbor, look him in the eye
EmAmB7
Reach out and shake his hand, I'll tell you why
EmAmEm
This world can get lonesome, fearful and mean
AmEmB7Em
When you spend all your time with your head in a screen
[Chorus]
GDEm
Pushing on buttons, staring at screens
GAmB7
It's bad for the heart, it's making us scream
EmAm
It washes the brain, from what I have seen
EmB7Em
All this pushing on buttons, and staring at screens
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
EmAmEm
Moveable type and the Gutenberg's press
EmAmB7
Made the world smaller, improved it I guess
EmAmEm
Same with the telegraph, phone and TV
AmEmB7Em
But you hear what you hear, and see what you see
EmAmEm
You put on the blinders, you don't have to think
EmAmB7
They lead you to water, and mostly you'll drink
EmAmEm
You'll forget that you ever had a real choice
AmEmB7Em
It's a matter of time before you lose your own voice
[Chorus]
GDEm
Pushing on buttons, staring at screens
GAmB7
It's bad for the heart, it's making us scream
EmAm
It washes the brain, from what I have seen
EmB7Em
All this pushing on buttons, and staring at screens
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
EmAmEm
You can have all your socials, your hand-held device
EmAmB7
Give me a campfire, some red beans and rice
EmAm
Tell me a story from beginning to end
AmEmB7Em
I'll sit here and listen and call you my friend
[Chorus]
GDEm
Pushing on buttons, staring at screens
GAmB7
It's bad for the heart, it's making us scream
EmAm
It washes the brain, from what I have seen
EmB7Em
All this pushing on buttons, and staring at screens
[Chorus]
GDEm
Pushing on buttons, staring at screens
GAmB7
It's bad for the heart, it's making us scream
EmAm
It washes the brain, from what I have seen
EmB7Em
All this pushing on buttons, and staring at screens
[Outro]
Em N.C. B7 N.C. Em N.C.
All this pushing on buttons, and staring at screens
