Good Technology We've got photographs of men on the moon We've got water that is good for us We've got coffee that's instantaneous We've got buildings that are very tall We've got cigarettes that are low in tar We've got policemen can tell us who we are We can reproduce a work of art We've got missiles can tear the world apart Good, good, good, good, good, good technology. We've got trains that run underground Aeroplanes that fly very fast We've got music that is popular We've got machines that sound like orchestras We've got ability to transplant a heart We've got freezers full of body parts We've got computers that can find us friends We know roughly when the world will end Good, good, good, good, good, good technology. We've got animals with transistors in We've got pills that can make you slim We've got factories turning frozen chickens out We've got ovens that cook in seconds flat We've got plastics that are indestructible We've got deodorants that make us smell of flowers We've got detergents to clean up the sea We've got sounds can turn you inside out! Sometimes I wonder what it is all about There's lots of leisure time to sit and work it out There's a TV show I've got to see Good, good, good, good, good, good technology Good technology.

Fact 2023 04:48
Fact For those of us with dented pride Who never reached the top I never lost my fear of flying Or witnessed thousands fall away and drop Cradled like a peak too far You've got to toe the line A miser with a silver spoon Take the profit out of doom. Take the profit out of war We don't need it any more. Pull the curtain wide Dispel the gloom Chase the blues away Facts are facts and railway tracks Run parallel to the sky Overcome gravity like We overcome graffiti with graffiti of our own A miser in a lead-lined room Take the profit out of doom. Take the profit out of war We don't need it any more. A cold wind blows and commerce flows On lines of clear confusion Ground-to-air and dust to dust The sirens croon collusion A whispered word a bitter cry The dividend is due Dismiss the light the time is right For nuclear transfusion. Take the profit out of war We don't need it any more.
