Lyrics
SONG FOR THE LUDDITES
I keep forgetting to save mankind (excuses, excuses)
I keep forgetting to save myself (excuses, excuses)
As if the outcome was determined,
as if this world's the only possible world.
I don?t believe history will forgive us
if history survives us.
Every day, every day.
Whadda you want me to sit on my hands?
Whadda you want me to do nothing at all?
I don?t believe machines will save us.
I know you know machines wont save us.
Every day, every day.
I keep forgetting to save mankind (excuses, excuses)
I keep forgetting to save myself (excuses, excuses)
I keepforgetting, I keep forgetting (excuses, excuses)
I keep forgetting to save anything ...
Love O love
O careless love
is a burning thing
The complete lack of a revolution has been well televised.
Whadda you want me to sit on my hands?
Whadda you want me to do nothing at all?
Every day, every day.
I know it?s a contradiction but how can I possibly keep from reaching for my electric guitar as Lord Byron sings his "Song of the Luddites"?
Every day, every day
I keep forgetting to save mankind (excuses, excuses)
I keep forgetting to save myself (excuses, excuses)
I keepforgetting, I keep forgetting (excuses, excuses)
I keep forgetting to save anything ...
