lyrics

The Mainframe (Allen Cox)

In a world of chaos
Only one can think
Look to the monitor
You're on the brink
Don't use your brain
It's a waste of time
If you need to know
Just get on line

Linked by a network
Who cares anymore?
Put your face in the camera
Punch in the fax
Linked by a wire
No human touch
Throw a kiss out the window
But watch your back

These racks of hardware
Are man-made brains
Gaining information
While we go insane
Don't ask a question
No one's smart enough
It has no feeling
Can it hurt us?

Linked to a network
No compassion
Shed a tear for humanity
And punch in the facts
Linked by a wire
Feel no moods
Just ask the mainframe
It knows the truth

Breaking down the walls
Searching all the systems
Gaining total control
No one would listen
It does all our thinking
And all our jobs
We sit on our asses
While our lives are robbed

Linked by a network
Facts on a silver platter
All the human gather
The server feeds their brains
Don't go outside
Tap into the mainframe
Sit back my friend
Where shall we go today?
