`High-Technology Homeless'

They got this high-technology to send shuttles to the moon
They got this high-technology to blow up this world in two
They got this high-technology to produce more plastic food
And they got the high-technology homeless, too.

They got this high-technology to solve math equations quick
They got this high-technology to help keep Bill Gates rich
They got this high-technology to monitor your every move
And they got the high-technology homeless, too.

They got this high-technology to automate the winds of war
They got this high-technology to make laid-off workers poor
They got this high-technology to solve all problems complex
And also they got the high-technology homeless.

They got this high-technology to help “keep Amerika great”
They got this high-technology which they want to control our fate
They got this high-technology to cover their brutal greed
And they got the high-technology homeless in the streets.

The High-Technology Homeless protest folk song was written during the Reagan Era of the 1980s, when the term “yuppies” acquired a negative connotation, the proponents of high-technology promised us that high-technology would soon create a free market/capitalist/corporate-oriented utopia and the number of homeless people in the United States increased dramatically.
