LYRICS

WE ALL BUY THE LATEST GADGETS
BUT THEY END UP IN THE TRASH IT’S
JUST THE WAY IT’S GOTTA BE
WITH ALL THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY
THERE’S NO TELLING, THERE’S NO KNOWING
IF THE NEXT BIG THING IS GOING
TO IMPROVE THE WAY WE LIVE
‘CAUSE SOMETHING’S ALWAYS GOT TO GIVE.

WE’VE ALREADY SEEN THE MATRIX
SO WE KNOW THE SORT OF WAY THIS
IS PORTRAYED IN MANY STORIES
ORWELL’S 1984 IS
AN EXAMPLE OF DISTOPIA
THOUGH I PREFER TO HOPE WE
UNDERSTAND THAT SCIENCE FICTION’S
NOT AN ACCURATE PREDICTION.

BUT THE REAL TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS THAT NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE
THOUGH WE’RE ADDICTED TO OUR CELL PHONES,
THEY ARE SOMETIMES OUT OF RANGE.
IT’S NOT A BRAVE NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN
SO RELAX! YOU’RE FREE AND CLEAR.
‘CAUSE WHAT THIS SONG IS REALLY SAYING
IS THERE’S NOTHING TRUE TO FEAR,
I TELL YOU

NO ONE WILL BE DANCING THE ROBOT TANGO
NO ONE WILL BE MARRIED TO A CYBORG
NO ONE WILL EVOLVE INTO A SUPERHUMAN, SUM COMPUTIN’,
SOULLESS HUNK OF METAL, FLESH, AND BLOOD.

SO ENJOY YOUR FANCY TOYS
ALL OF YOU ANTSY GIRLS AND BOYS
WHO CAN’T SIT STILL IN CAR OR VAN
WITHOUT NINTENDO IN YOUR HANDS
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CLING
TO OLDER TECHNOLOGIC THINGS,
WELL, THE BEHOLDER HAS THE BEAUTY
IN THE EYE, IT’S UP TO YOU!

USE THE OLD STUFF IF YOU LIKE
OR JUST UPGRADE TO SATELLITE
OR KEEP YOUR VHS AND BETA
EVEN HD-DVD HAS MADE A
HASTY EXIT. BOY I’M HUNGRY!
TASTY EGGS WOULD BE DELICIOUS.
NO, IT’S NOT THE TIME FOR SNACKS
SO LET’S GET BACK ON TRACK.

‘CAUSE THE REAL TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS THAT NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE
THOUGH WE’RE ADDICTED TO OUR CELL PHONES,
THEY ARE SOMETIMES OUT OF RANGE.
IT’S NOT A BRAVE NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN
SO RELAX! YOU’RE FREE AND CLEAR.
‘CAUSE WHAT THIS SONG IS REALLY SAYING
IS THERE’S NOTHING TRUE TO FEAR,
I TELL YOU

NO ONE WILL BE DANCING THE ROBOT TANGO
NO ONE WILL BE MARRIED TO A CYBORG
NO ONE WILL EVOLVE INTO A SUPERHUMAN, SUM COMPUTIN’,
SOULLESS HUNK OF METAL, FLESH, AND BLOOD.
