You’re missing what they’re aiming for,
There’s something waiting round the door.
The road ahead is changing fast,
And old-world jobs may never last.
The engines hum, the circuits glow,
While human drivers watch the show.
The wheels keep turning, mile by mile,
With silent code replacing toil.
Hey!…
Can you hear those cold wheels roll?
Steel got no heart – got no soul!
.
Hey!…
Can you hear that warning bell?
Who’s buying? – And who’s gonna sell?
Electric lorries, sleek and bright,
Roll through the day and through the night.
Robot taxis crowd the lane,
Their numbers growing once again.
From distant shores the headlines sing,
“Automation’s now the king!”
The testing ends, the curtains part,
A brand-new age begins to start.
“So long, old mate!” the future cries,
As diesel smoke fades from the skies.
The faithful trucker shakes his head,
And wonders where the road has led.
Hey!…
Can you hear those cold wheels roll?
Steel got no heart – got no soul!
Hey!…
Can you hear that warning bell?
Who’s buying? – And who’s gonna sell?
.
“Stay home,” they say, “your work is done,
Here’s U.B.I. – have some fun.
Put up your feet, don’t break a sweat,
We’ll pay you wage … don’t you fret.”
Pick your nose or play online,
Watch the hours gently unwind.
Press a button, earn your keep,
While robots never need their sleep.
But something nags inside the mind,
“What sort of bargain have we signed?”
Is comfort worth the price we pay,
If purpose slowly slips away?
Hey!…
Can you hear those cold wheels roll?
Steel got no heart – got no soul!
Hey!…
Can you hear that warning bell?
Who’s buying? – And who’s gonna sell?
Then echoes from an old guitar
Still drift beneath a neon star.
“Money for Nothing” fills the air,
With knowing smiles and raised-brow flair.
It’s funny how the songs we knew
Can sometimes seem to echo through.
For life, it seems, has quite a knack—
Of borrowing art… and paying it back.
The Wrinklies Ruled! …
We Didn’t Listen.
To The Words Spoken Gently …
In the Rock-Bands Lyrics.
Funny how art can light the spark…
Then life walks in…
And plays the part.
SO! – Stamp your feet!
Clap your hands!
Nothing! – Ever stays as planned!
Raise your voice!
Raise your glass!
The future’s coming…
Fast!… Fast!! … FAST!!!
