[Spoken Intro]
-Hey Dorinda?
-What girl?
-Give me a quarter so I could play this game
-You don't need no quarter, you better come on here we gotta go to church
-But I'm at 19,000
-19,000 nothing, you better come on here girl
-Wait, don't leave me
-Bye, I'm going
[Verse: Melle Mel]
Computers got the upper hand, something I don't understand
Flip a switch, watch a start, you be just an extra part
Smarter, quicker, smarter, faster, punch a code get a answer
Feelin' large, look around (sorry the computers down)
Push a button pull a lever, techno wizard, super clever
High efficient, low cost, human slave, mental thoughts
Build a gadget, break a circuit, doesn't need a man to work it
Stop lady, look mister, listen to The Clark Sisters
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh do you know, have you been told?
Computers taking over the world
Oh do you know, have you been told?
(Computers rule the world, but God is in control)
[Chorus]
Computers rule the world
God is still in control, God is still in control of the universe
Computers rule the world
God is still in control
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
[Verse: Melle Mel]
Human beings can't compete, brain power's obsolete
Work is easy, life is hard, computers don't believe in God
Floppy disk, software, automated atmosphere
Not heaven sent, but hellbent, computer for a president
Macintosh, Apple too, replacement for me and you
Don't eat lunch, never rest, personally I'm not impressed
IBM, Commodore, we do less, they do more
They do more, we do nothing, Armageddon's just a button
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh do you know, have you been told?
Computers taking over the world
Oh do you know, have you been told?
(Computers rule the world, but God is in control)
[Chorus]
Computers rule the world
God is still in control, God is still in control of the universe
Computers rule the world
God is still in control
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
(Stop lady, look mister, listen to The Clark Sisters)
God is still in control, God is still in control of the universe
Computers rule the world
God is still in control
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
(Armageddon's just a button, Armageddon's just a button)
[Bridge]
Don't you delay (Armageddon's just a button)
Do you hear what I say (computers don't, computers)
[Chorus/Outro]
Computers rule the world (listen to the Clark Sisters, listen to the Clark Sisters)
God is still in control, God is still in control of the universe
Computers rule the world
God is still in control (computers don't believe in God)
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
Computers rule the world, God is still in control
Computers rule the world, God is still in control of the universe
God is still in control
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
(Arma-Arma-Armageddon's just a button)
God is still in control (stop lady look, stop)
God is still in control of the universe (Macintosh, Apple too, replacement for me and you)
God is still in control
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today
(Armageddon's just a button, Armageddon's just a button)
God is still in control in every way, every day
God is still in control of the universe (listen to the, listen to the)
God is still in control (listen to the, listen to the)
Do you hear what I say, don't you delay today (Mac-Macintosh, Apple too)
In every way, every day
Sounds of the time (Armageddon's just a button)
