Blues Band - Wait A Minute! lyrics

Now Im the kind of guy who likes to stay au fait
But theres too much going on and not enough hours in the day
The house is overloaded with gadgets standing idle
Each with an instruction book bigger than the Bible
Wait a minute!
This modern world is way too fast
I dont wanna get off
Im just not sure Im gonna last

Software, hard drives, modem, DVD
Floppy discs and megabyte, new technology
Pass the pen and paper and Ill make up a list
of all the things I didnt know I needed to exist
Wait a minute!
I dont think Im slowing down
But this world aint going my way
Wheres the exit to be found
on this Information Superhighway

I phone up for advice the computer take my call
One hour later Im no wiser Im just climbing up the wall
Information overload will make me blow my fuse
To access me its www dot confused
Wait a minute!

They say a computer to have human brainpower
would be the size of Dallas and a 60 storey tower
Well my mind finds that kind of fact pretty heady
That box on my desk takes too much space already

The other night on tv I saw this dot com CEO
While losses mounted up his shares just grow and grow
He said "Weve built a software driven media global powerhouse"
I dont know where he lives we dont talk like that in our house
Wait a minute!
