Hi-tech is getting the better of us by de-humanizing our social fabric and controlling our everyday lives. According to futurists in the '60's, computers were supposed to make life easier but has resulted in down-sizing and multi-tasking...like being expected to do a higher volume of work in the same amount of time.
Lyrics
I'm tryin' to be a Jetson
and live their life of leisure
but all this information
is giving me a seizure
Twice as much in half the time
I should be out relaxing
but my heartrate keeps increasing
from all this multi-tasking
I'm tryin' to be a Jetson
and compute without confusion
but the learning curve's so twisted
Always looking for solutions
The online manual's printed
but it isn't up to date
I'm goin' broke refilling ink
and buyin' paper by the crate
Computerize, dehumanize
Phone in your face
Tech is takin' over
Gotta save the human race
Just find the plug
and give it a tug
and stop this endless chase
The eggheads didn't realize
that we might lose our place
I wanna be a Jetson
and fly to work through space
'cuz gridlock's got me edgy
I got rage on my face
My motor's burnin' fuel
that's short in supply
While the polar ice is melting
from the carbon in the sky
Nothin' seems to work right
like the Jetsons said it would
I'm a slave to my computer
Life's not goin' like it should
I got carpal tunnel syndrome
and a virus in the mail
my identity's been stolen
and I may end up in jail
WHATT!!
Come on now Mr. Jetson
I wish I had your knowledge
Put it in a time machine
and beam it to a college
There it could be studied
and Mankind could prevail
Seamless, flawless automation
The Digital Holy Grail
A great all around track. Has something to say and rocks your socks off at the same time, who could ask for more!
