Information Systems

Got home from a gig one night, turned on my old TV
It’s a movie from the 30’s and it’s dealing with the future
                      It’s man against machine
                      It’s science vs. the artist
                      You know, they can disagree
                      But if they’re smart, then they will find
                      We live under one thing…(that’s new, that’s)
Information systems---microwave rules supreme
Those digital transmissions, they bring me to my knees

A company named TRW---General Telephone doesn’t like me either
You know, I can’t get a checking account, ‘cause I don’t have a credit card
I think the problem has finally landed right in my front yard and that’s those

Information systems---microwave rules supreme
Those digital transmissions, they bring me to my knees, to my knees

Things to come?………………………Have to ponder that a bit
………………………………………………………This empty space represents my mind
Things start moving faster and faster, all the time, no matter what age you are…
                              You know how to stand in line…You know what to do
Assimilate information in the most responsive manner---------------------------!!!
And then things catch up, and then you can’t catch up, and it always seems to lead
                              You back to--------
Information systems---microwave rules supreme
Oh, those digital transmissions, they bring me to my knees
                                                                       to my knees

You’ve got information overload
The simple things we understand
Electric guitar, and a rock n’ roll band

Information systems
They bring me to my knees
