Let It Burn - Lyrics - Information Society

An information society is a society where the creation, distribution, use, integration and manipulation of information is a significant economic, political, and cultural activity. The aim of the information society is to gain competitive advantage internationally, through using information technology in a creative and productive way. The knowledge economy is its economic counterpart, whereby wealth is created through the economic exploitation of understanding. People who have the means to partake in this form of society are sometimes called digital citizens. This is one of many dozen labels that have been identified to suggest that humans are entering a new phase of society.

I can hear the telephone Let it ring, let it ring Because I want to be alone Let it ring And the television's on Let it run, let it run Because the fascination's gone Let it run A storm is coming on I say let it come Because my one and only's gone Let it come The oil wells they burn Because there's money to be earned And I can never learn Let it burn I can hear the radio Let it play, let it play Because I've got no place to go Let it play And the singers on TV Let them sing, let them sing Because I let you go free Let them sing And still I was surprised When I looked into your eyes I knew it all was lies It was lies The oil wells they burn Because there's money to be earned And I can never learn Let it burn
