Lyrics
(Living In The) Lo-Fi Zone
Digital printers, forty- inch screens
Record collections in a hand-held machine
They gotta have it faster, bigger, mobile or free
High-speed connections, file condensors
PC cameras, and light sensors
They think you’re crazy, if you don’t have the technology
They’ll spend a fortune, just trying to compete
I hear them laughing that all my stuff is obsolete
I keep it simple
All I need’s a rotary phone
If nobody answers, nobody’s home
Don’t need no cell, I free when I roam
I’m really happy, livin in the lo-fi zone
I know some people who are losin’ their heads
From all that information being fed to them
They’re just like mice, running in a wheel
The harder they work, the worse they feel
They check their letters, their e-mails, their pagers, their phones
Scarcely a moment they can call their own
Some call it progress, but I call their bluff
I say it’s too much, enough is enough
I’ll never change, no matter what
I just smile when people say I’m some kind of nut
I keep it simple
All I need’s an old radio
A few clear stations and I’m good to go
One dial makes it louder, the other’s for tone
I’m really happy, livin’ in the lo-fi zone
