Resilience in Man and Machine

back to satire

Yeah, we're living in...
In a modern world.

(Somebody...)
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Bottled water from a seven-eleven
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world.
 
And pretty soon she's really got the notion
A G-P-S is best for mapping motion
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world.
 
Talk is cheap on Skype tonight
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I'm still here
Re-dial is problematic...
 
CHORUS:
Texting America (can't get an e-mail through)
Texting America (what Facebook said to do)
Texting America (she sent a text to me)
Texting America (it's such a bummer for me)
Texting America.
 
But I'm just talking on a beam of light
Twenty thousand bits and I was being trite
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world.
 
All I had to do was pick up the phone
In cyber-space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world.
 
She sent a message I re-call
But there's no word there, I know at all...
There must be something going wrong
That garbled text goes on and on...
 
CHORUS:
Texting America (can't get an e-mail through)
Texting America (what Facebook said to do)
Texting America (she sent a text to me)
Texting America (it's such a bummer for me)
Texting America.
 
Cleared my wall when she'd been gone a while
Guess the Internet's a bit hostile
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world.
 
CHORUS:
Texting America (can't get an e-mail through)
Texting America (what Facebook said to do)
Texting America (she sent a text to me)
Texting America (it's such a bummer for me)
Texting America.
 
Texting America, Texting America
Texting America, Texting America...
