Great song.
Which comment ?
The song is a warning to mankind not to think technology is the answer - but it could be our downfall.
Metropolis ( the film ) in 1927 was probably the first piece of modern culture to advance this idea. If you have never seen this film then I would recommend it to you. Its vision of the future is very impressive - where humanity has split into workers below the ground and an elite in Metropolis who live in absolute luxury kept that way by machinery.
Thanks for reminding me about that song.
