Lyrics

Technophobe

Technology is something that I’d rather just forget
But it keeps reminding me that we are in for it
I’m surrounded by machines, and some I like an awful lot
But if too close, I feel how much they’re something I am not

A force of death is crammed into those tiny microchips
Unheard of bits of jargon are spewing out logic
But in my simple little world I’m sitting by the fire
Watching from a distance, society a liar

Mechanical and lifeless
Inhuman and obnoxious

A force of death is crammed into those tiny algorithms
Unheard of bits of code are creating quite a schism
But in my simple little world I’m waling in the park
Escaping from reality and staying the dark

Deep inside I know that I really cannot escape
I know the system’s marching on, its technological rape
It’s organized and multiplies and gets smaller as it oozes
Taking over everything and everything it uses

Mechanical and lifeless
Inhuman and obnoxious
I long for something simple
Oblivion with comfort

Complexity is causing me anxiety
You wish for something that could never be

Technology is something that I’d rather just forget
But it keeps on reminding me that we are full of shit
I’m surrounded by machines, and some I hate so much it hurts
But when they aren’t around I feel that I’m in high alert

Deep inside I know that we are really going down
The voices of the people are so gaged and bound
Oligarchs and trailer parks are working hand and hand
Taking over everything and sucking the corporate brand
