High-Technology Homeless
Bob A. Feldman
A folk song, written in the 1980s, about how for-profit corporate use of high technology has affected the quality of life in the United States.
They got this high-technology to send spaceships to the moon
They got this high-technology to blow up this world in two
They got this high-technology to produce more plastic food
And they got the high-technology homeless, too.
They got this high-technology to solve math equations quick
They got this high-technology to help keep the landlords rich
They got this high-technology to monitor your every move
And they got the high-technology homeless, too.
They got this high-technology to automate the winds of war
They got this high-technology to make laid-off workers poor
They got this high-technology to solve all problems complex
And also they have the high-technology homeless.
They got this high-technology to help “keep Amerika great”
They got this high-technology which they want to control our fate
They got this high-technology to cover their brutal greed
And they got the high-technology homeless in the streets.
