Rather prophetic even back in 1986. If it was true then, how much more so now. We couldn’t even imagine half of it.
Lyrics are below the video.
Wired for Sound
Word of mouth is the counselor
There is no need for proof
In a world that’s wired for sound
The tongue becomes the mighty sword
That battles the truth
In a world that’s wired for sound
Coming on like a tidal wave
That washes through the brain-a state of mind
No dispute when the noise is made
And so it lets the blind lead the blind
Lured by charisma to be swayed to believe
Word of mouth is the counselor
There is no need for proof
In a world that’s wired for sound
The tongue becomes the mighty sword
That battles the truth
In a world that’s wired for sound
Easier believing what is hard to get rid of than to try
Never searching just accepting
Feeds the mind enough to get you by
Scratching the surface yet to dig deeper down
Word of mouth is the counselor
There is no need for proof
In a world that’s wired for sound
The tongue becomes the mighty sword
That battles the truth
In a world that’s wired for sound
Wisdom from the sacred page
Is turned and ignored
In a world that’s wired for sound
