Great song with much insight. I tried reading a book , but the book was "1984" so I still bummed. Great Vox on this Joe.

Omg, this is me 😬 Such a great track 🫶🏼

Haha... so true. Sounds like a description of me. :-D

My friend, this song is so clever!!! I'm absolutely identified with this magnificent Song. Excelent track 👍👍👍👍

Hey Joe! I'm back on SoundCLoud catching up! Another Joe Stroffolino classic song! I loved it! Fantastic lyrics and awesome tune! No one cares anymore, so we'll destroy ourselves for sure! Great job!👍😎✌🏼

Yep, me too man, me too.  A lot of people I presume.  Just keep creating the great music, best way to keep positive.  Great work as always Joe, I dig it immensely!

The in-depth lyrics add so much credence to this song... great vocals and harmonies Joe.

Every night at ten o’clock, before I go to bed 
I doomscroll on my phone, and I see stories that fill me with dread
I know I should put down my phone and read a book, but I can’t control the urge
Things get stuck in my brain that I really wish I could purge
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale
Forever chemicals in the water, pollution in the air
Global temperatures rising, and the oil companies don’t care
Russians making nuclear threats and our leaders they just shrug
Some nights it feels like I’m in a hospital bed and they‘re about to pull the plug
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Microplastics your body
It’s bad to sit too long in your in your chair 
They say you can go sterile if you wear tight underwear
There’s an object heading towards us from deep in outer space
They say it might be an alien spacecraft on its way to destroy the human race
Too much information in the palm of your hand
Can make you just want to bury your head in the sand
Sometimes you’ve got to accept there are things beyond your control
Whatever will be will be.  You play an insignificant role 
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Doomscrolling
