Overload

(álbum: Information - 1980)

Millions of city lights
Burning bright in the night
Too many circuits on plugged in machines
Neon lights disengage
Television is the rage
Life support systems
Supporting every need

Where are you going?
When the lights flicker
It's a power failure
An overload
The lights are out tonight

Children in darkness
Hearing lovers play their games
Babies crying, people fighting
Looters are in a rage
Too many circuits on plugged in machines
Atomic reactors
space technology

Where are you going?
When the lights flicker
It's a power failure
An overload
The lights are out tonight

Electrons disconnect
Negative charges exploding
Too many circuits on plugged in machines
Wire connecting wire
Social disease
Life support systems
Supporting every need

Where are you going?
When the lights flicker
It's a power failure
An overload
The lights are out tonight

Too many circuits on plugged in machines
Like irons, toasters, vibrators, heating pads,
swimming pools, air conditioners, calculators,
hair driers, blenders, electric toothbrushes,
record players, televisions, garages, tape machines,
night lights, microwave ovens, power saws,
vacuum cleaners, water pics, cuisinarts!
