the tower of babel - the tangent lyrics

cold*hearted and calculated
e*mails and answer*phones
call holding and dialling tones
your contact with the rest of the world seems to have changed

it’s confusing and obfuscated
when an “online solution” is what you’ve waited for
it seems they’re speaking different languages there

send a message to the tower of babel
“probably out*of*office but thanks for your call”
better brush up on your esperanto if you’re able
‘cos no*one understands a thing you say any more

being present and bеing human
a firm handshake, a pat on the back
banished to thе pages of 20th century etiquette now
got to access everything on computers
mobile phones and digital looters
gotta learn the lingo, gotta keep it sharp and tight
keep it mean yeah!

send a message to the tower of babel
try to keep it short and sweet
and fill in the table
make sure your letters don’t go out of the box
but always use block capitals because that’s what blows their socks
i’m just being a human, could i ask the same of you?
‘cos there’s nothing on my forehead saying you can
treat me like the piece of dirt you do
you can screw the system up, just by being you
because the system’s human too!

send a message to the tower of babel
tell ’em where to stick it!
and pull out the cable!
they ask you to tick the box so you can think “outside it”
so give ’em rope to hang ’emselves
and make sure you supplied it

run it up the flagpole
and see who salutes it now!
give it a spin around the car park
but make sure it handles like a cow!
bullsh*t bingo! we’re playing to win!
but they’ve got our numbers on their books

i’m just being a human, could i ask the same of you?
‘cos there’s nothing on my forehead saying you can
treat me like the piece of dirt you do
you can screw the system up, just by being you
because the system’s human too!
before the system screws you
