Information Overdose

There you sit with glassy eyes

Staring at that oversize

Computer-screen in front of you

The whole day and night long

Entangled in that world wide web

Did the head below your baseball-cap

Ever wonder if in your life something

Might be going wrong

You've got an information overdose

That's a fact that you can't conceal

Your world is made of bits and bytes

But there's a world outside that is for real

Your girlfriend lives in New York

You've got to know her in cyberspace

You say that you're in love but will you

Ever meet her face to face

To have a thousand friends

Around the whole wide world is what you claim

But how come in your neighbourhood

No one at all knows your name

You've got an information overdose

That's a fact that you can't conceal

Your world is made of bits and bytes

But there's a world outside that is for real

This world's become a crazy place

The magic left without a trace

Sober-minded concepts took the place

That dreams once had

We've got pills for every little thing

Only health they never seem to bring

It's a crazy place indeed

Everyone is smiling bright

Everybody feels alright

For every problem there's another drug

To drown the pain

Technology saves time they say

So who took all the time away

It's a crazy place indeed

There you sit with glassy eyes

Staring at that oversize

Computer-screen in front of you

The whole day and night long

Entangled in that world wide web

Did the head below your baseball-cap

Ever wonder if in your life something

Might be going wrong

You've got an information overdose

That's a fact that you can't conceal

Your world is made of bits and bytes

But there's a world outside that is for real
