Song lyrics for Steve's new song

Hey Cigar Boxers,

Just listened to Seasick Steve's new song, Internet Cowboys. Does anybody know where I could get the lyrics? I caught most of the words but didn't get all of them. It seems like Steve is delivering a timely message with the tune so I'd like to get it all if I could.

Not sure how accurate the lyrics are (link to the lyrics site at the bottom)

"Internet Cowboys"

I wanna tell ya one thing now, so listen up my children
The world ain't what it used to be
They got us hypnotized, got us mesmerized, but it's just a parlor trick
They gonna empty your pockets and they just wanna do it quick
Back in the day snake oil man, maybe little sleight of hand
I tell ya children nothing has changed, it's still the same old plan
Give em what ya got so they can have more, they ain't got a moral bone
They the internet cowboys riding hard right into your home

Internet cowboys right into your home
Internet cowboys right into your home
Internet cowboys right into your home

They gonna rob you blind but pay it no mind 'cause you're just a sitting duck
Spend all day on the internet so I say what the 'Hey'
I guess you don't want no advice, you probably just think I'm mean
'Cause I just say get a life and get off them screens
Get off them screens

Cos the internet cowboys – they the ones that mean
Yeah the internet cowboys – they the ones that mean
The internet cowboys – they the ones that mean

Well ya heard my thoughts on the matter, believe there's only one way out
Shut down that MacBook Air and turn your life about
Get yourself a record player or maybe a guitar
Spend a little time with yourself, try to find out who you are
Find out who you are

Don't give em what they want so they can have more and don't ya throw them no bone
They the internet cowboys riding hard right into your home
Back in your home

The internet cowboys want inside your home
The internet cowboys want inside your home
The internet cowboys want inside your home
The internet cowboys want inside your home
The internet cowboys want inside-
Man they wanna get inside your home
Ya just gotta shut down them screens y'all
Lord have mercy
