It's all over, I bought a smartphone
And pretend I've got a flashy life
'Cause that's what goes with a smartphone
But my life's never been this fake
A smartphone, they say, is a handy thing
But I feel like a loser
Keep tossing selfies onto my Facebook
And I post videos of animals
'Cause without followers your life limps
I photograph what we're gonna eat
And then a photo of the drink
And then even more pictures of food
It's all over, I bought a smartphone
And pretend I've got a flashy life
'Cause that's what goes with a smartphone
But my life's never been this fake
I Snapchat that life is swinging
And other nonsense that's never urgent
I Instagram that I'm happy
That I only know cool people
But know that that's an
Absolute big fat lie
That I miss the phones of the past
Phones used to be heavy equipment
They hung fixed, pure and simple
With thick cords on the wall
It's all over, I bought a smartphone
And pretend I've got a flashy life
'Cause that's what goes with a smartphone
But my life's never been this fake
I also know by now what Tinder is
Your age really isn't an obstacle there
On Tinder people lie and distort
Hoping you won't get swiped away
So you suddenly end up Skyping
With somebody you totally don't know
At first I didn't notice she was a sl*t
She asked me if I was Bart Kaëll
Then it soon turned out she really was
She asked me if I was Bart Kaëll
It's all over, I bought a smartphone
And pretend I've got a flashy life
'Cause that's what goes with a smartphone
'Cause happiness is just an app
