Analog Hero

歌詞

He used to putter around in his barn all day A tool for each job and each tool in its place Whistling along to a song on the radio While he poked through a Mason jar full of nuts and bolts Lawnmowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all cracked TV screens gone blank as cataracts He'd take 'em all apart when he got 'em up on his bench One by one, he'd bring 'em back to life again He's the fix-it man, the fix-it man He can't put it back together, then it was never worth a damn Maybe he's crazy for trying to save what's already gone Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones He used to have a wife, but she passed a couple years ago Someone thought he had a daughter out in New Mexico Grew up in the Depression, it's a lesson that he'll never forget There's nothing so broken, ain't life left in it yet He's the fix-it man, the fix-it man He can't put it back together, then it was never worth a damn Maybe he's crazy for trying to save what's already gone Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones Now your phone's made in China and your car is made in Japan Child labour sewing clothes in Malaysia and Vietnam Hell, it ain't even broken and we're going for the upgrade Nobody thinks twice 'bout what we're really throwing away He's the fix-it man, the fix-it man He can't put it back together, then it was never worth a damn Maybe he's crazy for trying to save what's already gone Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones It's out with the old, in with the new (It's out with the old, in with the new) Out with the old, in with the new (Out with the old, in with the new) Out with the old, in with the new Out with the old, in with the new
