VERSE 1
They give you work,
They give you money.
They send the bills,
Then they send reminders.
You go to work,
Machines surround you,
Then when you come home,
The machines relax you.
PRE CHROUS
When caveman first spun the wheel,
The first machine got started.
Ten million years has now gone past,
Machines are all around us.
CHROUS
They’re getting smaller every year,
And yes they’re getting smarter.
They’re getting easier to use,
Or are we all just getting dumber?
VERSE 2
Please enter user name and password
Read the conditions and then just hit escape!
Hit send/receive, and check the status,
No need to leave your chair – it’s all right there.
PRE CHORUS
When caveman first spun the wheel,
The first machine got started.
Ten million years has now gone past,
Machines are all around us.
CHORUS
They’re getting faster every year,
And yes they’re getting smarter.
They’re getting easier to use,
Or maybe, we’re getting dumber?
VERSE 3
Ten thousand friends we’d never met,
And followers that like us,
Tweeting about their breakfast LOL OMG.
Cables, touch pads and remotes, and wireless devices,
Music, video, TV, the IQ melts.
We watch the game,
Then inbox friends,
You know how we’re connected?
On our wrists and in our pockets,
We wear them round our necks.
Kiss them goodnight, safe cyber sex.
PRE CHROUS
When caveman first spun the wheel,
The first machine got started.
Ten million years has now gone past,
Machines are all around us.
CHOURUS
They’re getting smaller every year,
And yes they’re getting smarter.
They’re getting easier to use,
Or are we all just getting dumber?
