Pere Ubu - We Have The Technology lyrics

rate me

How I wish we could take this moment and freeze it.

To come back again and again and again -

to hold it to the light.

Now, turn it in our hands and study all the angles.

To find out how and why it's gotta go the way that it

goes.

We have the technology not available before.

We have the technology.

But thinkers and poets of the past -

oh, no, they had to leap into the dark so blindly.

Whereas, we'll stand free and upright like men.

The day's golden light.

Linked with our machines our eyes are beaming.

It won't matter at all how weird things are seeming.

We have the technology not available before.

We have the technology.

We need the means to dig deeper.

To search below the surface appearance of things.

Worlds never dreamed of!

What a wonderful life if, darlin, that moment might be

found wherein we come unstuck completely.

Flap A from Slot B -

slappin in the wind.

We have the technology not available before.

We have the technology.
