A quiet walk by a quiet stream
All the birds are singing
You feel like you’ve just found paradise
When someone’s cell phone starts in ringing
Call me a Luddite, I guess that that’s right
Nothing’s like it was before
Call me a Luddite, but what I like
Don’t seem to exist anymore
You can call me a fossil, ‘cause I’m not an apostle
Of the latest high-tech software
I just can’t get worked up, ‘cause it won’t fill my cup
If it’s virtual it’s not really there
Life today is too complex
And I find myself wishing
For a simpler time when you surfed at sea
And a net was used for fishing
Call me a Luddite, I guess that that’s right
Don’t e-mail, come right to my door
Call me a Luddite, but what I like
Don’t seem to exist anymore
Trapped inside that voice-mail maze
Really makes me feel
You can keep your information age
Just let me talk to someone real
Call me a Luddite, I guess that that’s right
You can’t buy happiness at e-store
Call me a Luddite, but what I like
Don’t seem to exist anymore
