NEW WORLD NEW LANGUAGE
This is actually an “old song” recorded on my HUMANOLOGY 101 CD, recorded at Incubator Studios in Melbourne with Richard Allison on the Hammond Organ.
I have been playing it lately mainly because it keeps being relevant with the world and the language, or at least the use of it, changing as sun rises and the wind blows. You have to think twice before you use any word these days as it’s use may have changed overnight and you didn’t get the email … so you might offend a whole section of society if you are currently incorrect.
I could add several new choruses … but I think the message in the song is pretty clear … anyway I have a couple of new songs that extend the subject.
NEW WORLD NEW LANGUAGE from Humanology 101 – Audio
NEW WORLD NEW LANGUAGE – LYRICS
When did people become resources like hardware in a store hardware in a store
When did personality become people skills something learned in school
When did bullshit become spin when did a loss become a win win win
When did con artists become investment managers get poor quick pyramid schemes pyramid schemes
How did crooks become TV Rock Stars and much read book authors book authors
When did selfishness become self indulgence it’s just all about me me me
WMD’s, ADDs, MP3s Genetically modified seed, Gangsta Rap, Carbon Tax, Same Sex Parents, Alcopops Alcopops
Twitter, SMS, Voodoo Economics, Multiculturalism, Speed Dating, Tempo football, Wikileaks Powerpoint presentation powerpoint presentatations
Is a naturopath a witch doctor or a voodoo queen or a medicine man
If your GPS is blank can you still read a map how long is a nano-nap
Children with special needs man are there any other kind any other kind
Is justice sight impaired, visually challenged or just plain blind just plain blind
It’s digital this and digital that so damn fast we can’t go back can’t go back
Political correctness an oxymoron, is target marketing racial profiling racial profiling
Homeopaths, homophobics, idol judges, reality TV, homeless youth, qualified truth, virtual sex, test tube babies test tube babies
Homegrown terrorists, designer drugs, E bay, E phones, web apps, blue ray, ergonomic, power play power play
Well its all just so confusing this new world to me this new speak well you see it’s just so hard to read
You can text or you can talk but you can’t see the whites of their eyes oh we can’t communicate lookin eye to eye
Personality in your pocket and memory around your neck look your phone right in the eye and then send a text
This new world has got me stuffed all the gadgets and the junk and the language that they use well its just not clear enough
This new language part pagan part DonJuanCastenada somewhere between refer madness and Aesop’s Fables
Telco’s, go slows, fast tans, medical marijuana stands, boutique wine, newsvine, kimble books, guitar hero riffs guitar hero riffs
Delta rays, global warming, pet psychologists, emo kids, personal trainers, stress counsellors business coaches and day dream analysers
