Name that Tune

I'm not sure about the title but I know it's a ~Genesis~ song.   Physical Attraction?

It IS a Genesis song, and I'll consider that close enough, since I think you're thinking of the correct song.

This was Genesis' big #1 hit, "INVISIBLE TOUCH."

(The previous song was "Land of Confusion." I remember the video getting a LOT of airplay.)

Your turn!

This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare

This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare

You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough

Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution

I just figured somebody would have an idea by now.  Here's some more.

This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare

My mama said she can't understand me
She can't see my motivation
Just give me some security
I'm a paranoid schizoid product ................

You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough

Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
.................................but I don't want, I don't want to die here

Girl, we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
.................................. but I don't want, I don't want to be here

I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy, got no liberty

Don't want to get myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
................................ but I don't want to die here

I'm surprised a wee bit, I thought this was in your wheelhouse waysider.

WordWolf may know this.  I wait another day before I reveal.

It seems familiar, but nothing is clicking so far.
