Different on a Screen by Seth Hoffman

What’s that apparatus, for determining our status,
Are we happy and joyous, or does everything annoy us?
What are we expecting, if we’re not really connecting,
I’m just tired of looking at a screen, so tired of looking at a screen.

When you talk for a while, ask folks about their day,
And help each other out along the way,
How can we lift our spirits, does anybody know?
Well you can start by saying hello. Start by saying hello.

Democrats, Republicans, for whichever team you root,
In paint covered overalls or a pristine suit,
We all need clean water, we all need clean air,
Let’s come together everybody everywhere.
Let’s come together everybody everywhere.

Hey there, how you doing? It’s a pleasure to be here,
I always come in peace, there’s nothing to fear.
I traveled all this way to open up my mind,
And see the ways I’ve been blind, see the ways I’ve been blind.

The media paints a picture, to make you a big spenda,
So read between the lines, ‘cause there’s clearly an agenda,
They get so excited, trying to make us so divided,
But I’m not buying that, no I’m not buying that.

Don’t make your decision, from what you watch on television,
It’s different on a screen, most people aren’t really that mean.
When you travel across the land, you start to understand,
That we’re all on the same side, yes, we’re all on the same side.
