  • Welcome to cyberspace, I'm lost in the fog
    Everything's digital I'm still analog
    When something goes wrong
    I don't have a clue
    Some ten year old smart a** has to show me what to do
    Sign on with high speed you don't have to wait
    Sit there for days and vegetate
    I access my email, read all my spam, I'm an analog man.

    The whole world's living in a digital dream
    It's not really there
    It's all on the screen
    Makes me forget who I am
    I'm an analog man

    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
    I'm gonna get me an analog girl
    Who loves me for what I am
    I'm an analog man

    What's wrong with vinyl, I think it sounds great
    L-Ps, forty-fives, seventy-eights but that's just the way I am
    I'm an analog man

    Turn on the tube, watch until dawn
    One hundred channels, nothing is on
    Endless commercials, endless commercials, endless commercials

    The whole world's glued to the cable TV
    It looks so real on the big L-C-D
    Murder and violence are rated P-G, too bad for the children
    They are what they see

    The whole world's living in a digital dream
    It's not really there
    It's all on the screen
    Makes me forget who I am
    I'm an analog man

    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
    I'm gonna get me an analog girl
    Who loves me for what I am
    I'm an analog man

    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world Writer/s: GANNIN DUANE ARNOLD, JOE WALSH, THOMAS ANDREW HESTER

  • Blueknite from Southern CaliforniaTo me, this song has several interpretations: Longing to return to the simpler things in life, I like who I am, and I don't want to change. I'm old school, I feel like an outcast, a 3rd wheel, I feel that I'm so set in my ways that I can't keep up with an ever-changing world, you do you, but I just want to be left alone, I'm conservative, while everyone else is going woke. Just a few examples. Cheers, everyone!
