The Future Is Here
I'm
here with no map
There's
no going back
To where I'm from
The
bus just left
There's
a high rate of theft
Where I am
But
I can deal with anything
(No you can't)
I can deal with most things?
(Uh-uh)
All right I'll admit it!
I'm scared out of my
mind
Might as well be
blind
The
people walk by me with no recognition
They
only remember what's in their own repetition
Was I really like them?
Is this what's happened to the
race of men
No more earthly ties
(Time on the internet flies!)
No more lengthy goodbyes
(I'll add you as a friend on Facebook!--What's your email?--Do you have Skype?--MSN?--Gmail?--MySpace?--Twitter?)
Quiet!
But really, it's all in my head
(Did you read what I said?)
Shh!
The
only sound is of typing
(Are you even listening to what I'm typing?)
Argh!
Nobody just
sits and talks
(We do!)
You talk?
(Well, no but-)
Talks!
Anymore
(What a bore)
In the real world there's no emoticons
Only faces to depend upon.

17th stanza, third line, last word: it should be writing, not typing.
I wouldn't rhyme typing with typing :P
