Story behind the song
Teen-ager Olivia is unhappy with school, thinking that she has been rejected. Her mother suggests that the existence of the modern cell-phone has made the world too small.
Lyrics
Today's developed world has become small Very, very small You can call one person, or "send all" Call or send to all The internet and cell phones everywhere Foolish selfies, hate and grievances choke the air In a careless moment one may send A tweet sure to offend Texts once sent, exist for always Much more than a day The message spreads Its damage has begun When shared, the hate and hurt Bring pain to everyone Internet and cell phones are simple to use So easy for the masses to abuse Effortless connections make it worse Too much of a good thing can be a curse Free to use new technology is ev'ry day unfurled The unfledged transmit rashly to the world Announcing their opinions and more Food just enjoyed and the fashions you wore Remember that location and identity When the phone is on is posted constantly This tiny cell phone with all it implies Does it control you or is it otherwise? Only use when needed, not haphazardly Appreciate the phone's accessibility You're no longer anonymous to all In the frenzied world that has gotten small.
