a million faces
pass without a trace
though a bright lit urban sky

seen so closely
we're invisible
you got all my details but who am I ?

every step I've been seen
my electronic trace
gives you a profile without a face







can you look me in the eye
or just tell me what I'm gonna buy ?
am I just a bar code in consumer space



I am Data Man
you know my skin, my favourite colour
but do you know the colour of my heart

I am Data Man
you think you know me consumer brother
but a mind that's blind to wisdom ain't that smart

won't ya give me some heart



a million units
shift at rapid pace
hungry to be thirst to say 'it's my'

chorus of voices
screams and laughter never heard
the I, Me, generation lost in i

the less of me you see
the more of me I want to be
gonna sing My song and there's no compromise


can you look me in the eye
or just tell me what I'm gonna buy ?
am I just a bar code in consumer space


I am Data Man
you know my skin, my favourite colour
but do you know the colour of my heart

I am Data Man
you think you know me consumer brother
but a mind that's blind to wisdom ain't that smart

won't ya give me some heart
