One Tall Order
Take these keys to the highway, and everyone's the king of the roadFind that fast lane to freedom is just another row to be hoedWishing on a satellite to tell us where to turn so maybe we can take the hot rod downEvery road to ruin but we never thought we'd go this wayIt's one tall orderOne small price to have to pay
Free for all, from the cradle, a garden of unearthly delightsSlaves of our own devices and these inalienable rightsEvery single secret now is everybody's business ‘cause we're living in an ad man's dreamWhat's a right to privacy? We couldn't wait to throw it awayIt's one tall orderOne small price to have to pay Say hello, satisfaction; we finally found a way to keep upSay goodbye, satisfaction, ‘cause faster won't be faster enoughAnother new development that's going to revolutionize us if we didn’t know by nowWhat a stupid life we were living only yesterdayIt's one tall orderOne small price to have to pay
Loaded down with all that you can carry; more than you can takeFurniture to rearrange; how many lightbulbs does it take to change?
Always seem to find myself hungry all the timeWe get a lot more of everything, but everything is fake todayIt's one tall orderOne small price to have to pay © 2023 Bruce M. Gordon
