Lyrics

A digital man in an analog world
All the king’s horses and all the king’s girls
Were traveling light for a night in Seville

Beer breath suitcase coffee and cream
You should never wake a boy up out of his dream
You get too many nerves in a white limousine
Too many nerves in a white limousine

(What you gonna do) Mr. Digital Man
(What you gonna do) Hold on to what you can
(What you gonna do) All your circuitry
(Ahhhhhh) Will be obsolete by two thousand twenty

An analog kid with a rifle he hid
It was under his bed with the rest of the dead
Stuck in too many choices and voices of dread

Any advice that you got for the teen
He’ll be watering down with his awful machine
‘Til the digital freak grows up to be a man
‘Til the digital freak grows up to be a man

(What you gonna do) Mr. Digital Man
(What you gonna do) Hold on to what you can
(What you gonna do) All your circuitry
(Ahhhhhh) Will be obsolete by two thousand twenty

(What you gonna do) Mr. Analog had
(What you gonna do) Such a vivid plan
(What you gonna do) His curiosity
(Ahhhhhh) Wouldn’t let him sleep but he had nobody

(What you gonna do) Mr. Digital Man
(What you gonna do) Hold on to what you can
(What you gonna do) All your circuitry
(Ahhhhhh) Will be obsolete by two thousand twenty
