I beg your pardon
but I don't follow the etiquette
it's just that at the dinner table I must always have an iPhone in my hand
Chiara Ferragni1's dog and a Vuitton papillon
and a collar with more glitters than an Elton John's jacket
Salvini2 on his blog wrote a post
he says that if morning has gold in its mouth3, it means that it's a Romani4
I'm sick with saving and for this reason I have
Group(on)5 therapy.
And then, you know, there's no
meaning to this time that doesn't give
the right importance to what we live
it's better to "share" a memory
than living it
I'd like to but I won't/post
And another summer will come
and we'll buy another exam at the university6
and then a dive into a
national-popular sea
our will to sing will never pass for sure
And how will our children be able to take us seriously
with the evidences that through the years we've left on Facebook
Dad who every weekend was completely drunk
and mom who threw her bra at every concert
we who have spent a lot of money
obsessed over fashion, Armani-asylum7
iPhone took the place of a part of our body
and in fact we compete on who has it bigger
She's born in 2000 and she said "1998"
and that she's gonna be 18 in August
While you look at those selfies that she sends you secretly
and you think, sadly, I'd like to but I won't/post
And if she infects you with a virus
all it takes is Norton
all this surfing8 without ever finding an harbour
all this pain in the ass to take pictures of a sunset
and eventually on the screen you can't see how deep it is
and then, you know, there's no
meaning to this time that doesn't give
the right importance to what we live
it's better to "share" a memory
than living it
I'd like to but I won't/post
And another summer will come
and we'll buy another exam at the university
and then a dive into a
national-popular sea
our will to sing will never pass for sure
And when the thermometre goes red
(how hot it is)
you take your clothes off
(you're a webstar)
you eat your icecream
and you make erotic faces
you don't know how much I'm suffering
I'd like to, but I won't/post
And another summer will come
and we'll buy another exam at the university
and then a dive into a
national-popular sea
our will to sing will never pass for sure
