Which Damn Fool Thought This Was Progress?
The companies have succeeded in re-inventing the wheel with information technology
Without which you're made to feel that you no longer have access to the things
That you really need - a small, faltering step for people, but a giant leap for corporate greed
There's talk of books becoming obsolete with everything on screen
Knowledge only for a privileged elite is what they really mean
How ridiculous it is to think that there'll be a modem in every home
When half the world's population have never even dialed a phone?
Communication and information - these are not new ideas
Mankind has been using them for thousands of years
New technology can be helpful, but we are digging our own graves
If we make such things essential and we become mere slaves
Without which you're made to feel that you no longer have access to the things
That you really need - a small, faltering step for people, but a giant leap for corporate greed
There's talk of books becoming obsolete with everything on screen
Knowledge only for a privileged elite is what they really mean
How ridiculous it is to think that there'll be a modem in every home
When half the world's population have never even dialed a phone?
Communication and information - these are not new ideas
Mankind has been using them for thousands of years
New technology can be helpful, but we are digging our own graves
If we make such things essential and we become mere slaves
