Beans On Toast – Convenience Killed The Kids lyrics

I can't even think of a world without machines
I think I'm in control of them but honey
They're in control- ah fuck it, keep going

I don't eat meat
But I'm not a vegetarian
The chicken got the flu
And the cows think they're pedestrians
The children feel okay
But they can't turn their computer off
The apple's not a fruit
If it's something made by Macintosh
And I can't even think of a world without machines
I think I'm in control of them but honey
They're in control of me

And I saw it all, the world went crazy
All the gadgets made it lazy
Although we invented it
It's trying to steal out soul
And convenience will kill our children
But won't clean up the air we're breathing
I hate to say it kids
But that's what the future holds

Imagine if Will Smith
Became the first black president
And tried to change the world
More like how the children wanted it
With Carlton by his side
A rich and poor analogy
Well Jazzy Jeff's just fine
Because he finally got with Hilary
But something tells me that's not gonna happen here
Although I'm sure he'll get the job
What makes you think he'll lend an ear?

Cause I saw it all, the world went stupid
Guns and bullets, light pollution
A hurricane this morning
And an earthquake every day
Well convenience will kill our children
But won't clean up the air we're breathing
I hate to say it kids
But that's what the future holds
