(Cell phones)
(Lost friendship)
(Where are you, my friend?)
Cellphone Go!

Would you please turn off your cellphone
Even though nowadays everyone is ‘smart’
We are all becoming dumber, Oh
Would you please turn off your cellphone
You ‘mention’ me while looking at my face
I don’t need any ‘like’s Oh oh

Even saying you’re going to the bathroom, you say it through your phone
And then smile lightly as if you’re being cool
It’s not at all funny to me
You, who I haven’t seen for the last few months
Why are you suddenly acting like you’re popular
Did you win the lotto or something?

What do you mean, lotto, wake up, I’ve got a new phone my friend
It’s the age of technology, as you know, the population of South Korea
Over half of us are ‘smart’ in the 21st century
Talking while looking at each others’ faces
Is a thing of the past, something for far away countries

We’ve met for the first time in ages
Yet why are we arguing so much (Phone?)
First, let’s go have a meal, that’s what’s like us
Do you have a girlfriend?
Your new phone is such a waste
I don’t want something like a receipt for military service
Please work, magic spell

Where do you wanna go? I want to go here
This seems like the most ‘hot spot’
What are you doing after eating?
Let’s stop going to the boring PC room
(But when someone is speaking, please-)

Would you please turn off your cellphone
Even though nowadays everyone is ‘smart’
We are all becoming dumber, Oh
Would you please turn off your cellphone
You ‘mention’ me while looking at my face
I don’t need any ‘like’s Oh oh

Swipe to unlock (Whoo)
Swipe to unlock
I hated it your ‘tak’
I hated it your ‘schwoong’
Swipe to unlock (Whoo)
Swipe to unlock
Please press it, your ‘click, click’
Please press it your ‘click’

Do you eat your food with your eyes, like a girl
Would you please stop taking photos, it’s taking away my appetite
You’re probably busy uploading them
On the book of the face or the twittering tweet-er*
Life is 3D
Please twitter** on while looking at my face

You twitter twitter on, while tap tapping and snort snorting
You’re spraying rice everywhere, Would you come to your senses
If you got hit a hundred hundred times with that damn phone
When you’re out of battery, will we finally be charged Yeah!

Would you please turn off your cellphone
Or just put it in your pocket
Even though you say everyone is ‘smart’ nowadays
Even though times have become better
Everyone rushes twice as much these days

Sometimes I miss it, the time
When we would talk while looking at each other’s faces
Even though communication has increased,
Between the two of us there is only a loud silence Oh oh

Would you please turn off your cellphone
Even though nowadays everyone is ‘smart’
We are all becoming dumber
Would you please turn off your cellphone
You ‘mention’ me while looking at my face
I don’t need any ‘like’s Oh oh oh

I don’t need things like messages or selfies
I’ve come here to see not your phone or the food but you
Hey, this isn’t right
What is our relationship
We used to be happy with just a smile

Would you please turn off your cellphone
Even though nowadays everyone is ‘smart’
We are all becoming dumber
Would you please turn off your cellphone
You ‘mention’ me while looking at my face
I don’t need any ‘like’s Oh oh oh

Swipe to unlock (Whoo)
Swipe to unlock (Yeah yeah)
I hated it your (your)
I hated it your (schwoong)
Swipe to unlock
Swipe to unlock
Please press it, your ‘click, click’
Please press it your ‘click’
