Checking - lyrics and chords


[F]Anti-gravity telephones
[Gm]Floating up from pockets
[Bb]Eyes drifting downward
[C]Magnetic in their sockets

[F]Radio-active mobile phones
[Gm]Glowing like precious stones
[Bb]Mesmerizing the Joneses
[C]Into feeling all alone

[F]Checking checking checking checking
[Gm]Checking checking checking checking
[Bb]Checking checking checking checking ...
(Instagram / TikTok)

[F]Am I actually doing something
[Gm]And what was it?
[Bb]Why am I on Craigslist?
[C]Oh, look at this!

[F]Checking checking checking checking
[Gm]Checking checking checking checking
[Bb]Checking checking checking checking ...
(Ebay! Kajiji! Etsy!)

There seems to be a vortex
Of people wearing gore-tex
Incessantly texting
Their prospects and their exes

Texting texting texting texting
Texting texting texting texting
Texting texting texting texting …
Special person...



Mechanical contraptions
Engineered for distractions
Fracturing the masses
Into fractious fascist factions

Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
Checking checking checking checking
(The News / Facebook / Twitter)

There's something on the internet
I'd really like to check
It's probably irrelevant
But it'll only take a sec
