THE WORLD HAS GONE TOTALLY BONKERS!

+ Show full styles

[Chorus]
Oh, the world has gone totally bonkers, have you seen it lately?
Need a password just to buy a loaf of bread,
You need an app for this, an app for that, an app to scratch your noggin,
No wonder everybody's shakin' their head.
We got a million ways to make it all so easy,
But easy went and got complicated instead.

[Verse 2]
Well I pulled up to the self-checkout line,
It said "download our app or you're wastin' your time."
I just wanted milk, I didn't need a career,
Now I'm scan-nin' QR codes like an engineer.
And at the gas pump, big red letters so bright,
Says "NO SMOKING HERE" - well no kiddin', right?
And my coffee cup says "CAUTION, HOT" - duh!
Like I thought it was a popsicle, huh?

[Chorus]
Oh, the world has gone totally bonkers, you can't make this up,
Common sense packed a bag and left town,
We put warning labels on everything that ever needed none,
Like we all just fell off and bumped our crowns.
We got a million ways to make it all so simple,
But simple got lost and can't be found.

[Bridge - Spoken / Half-sung story breakdown]
Yeah, my granddaddy only needed one key,
It started the truck, the house, and the shed, you see.
Now I got 27 passwords, facial scans, and a little ding,
Just to turn on the toaster to make my toast sing.
I miss the days when dumb was just... dumb,
Not a subscription plan for $9.99 a month!

[Verse 3 - Big Final Story Verse]
So I finally threw that trash away, technology won,
App said "Congratulations! Your trash disposal is done!"
Got five stars, a coupon, and a survey too,
"How was your trash experience?" - man, I'm through!
If you need me I'll be on the porch with my old dog Jack,
He don't need an app to fetch, he just brings it back.

[Final Chorus - Everybody Sing!]
Yeah, the world has gone totally bonkers, totally bonkers,
But we're laughin' through the crazy anyhow,
You need an app for this, an app for that, just to live and check out,
But we still know how to take a breath and smile now.
Yeah, the world has gone totally bonkers, honey, bonkers,
Thank God for a country song to sort it out!

[Outro - Tag]
Bonkers... yeah, totally bonkers...
Somebody unplug it and plug it back in!

[Intro: spoken humorous laugh] oh what in the Nelly is going on?... [Verse 1] Well I walked up to a trash can down at the corner store, It just sat there lookin' at me, wouldn't open its door, Says "download the app" on a little blue sign, I need an app to throw away a bottle that was mine? I got an app for my fridge, and an app for my shoes, An app to tell me that I got the app-store blues. [Chorus] Oh, the world has gone totally bonkers, have you seen it lately? Need a password just to buy a loaf of bread, You need an app for this, an app for that, an app to scratch your noggin, No wonder everybody's shakin' their head. We got a million ways to make it all so easy, But easy went and got complicated instead. [Verse 2] Well I pulled up to the self-checkout line, It said "download our app or you're wastin' your time."
