Technology

Technology

Through video tapes found in every store,
Technology’s destroying childhood.

Through evil images from Internet’s maw,
Technology’s destroying childhood.

Through satellite stations beyond the law,
Technology’s destroying childhood.

Through live TV newscasts of rape and war,
Technology’s destroying childhood.

Through hazardous waste upon the shore,
Technology’s destroying childhood.

Through unseen rays from Chernobyl’s core,
Technology’s destroying childhood.
