I saw the local cable company<br />
They came and dug up the road<br />
They cut the roots and killed the tree<br />
To give me information overload<br />
They laid an optical vein with a heart of glass<br />
So the rich infuse, but the poor are bypassed<br />
<br />
No need to qualify distinction<br />
Of any other creature if alive or in extinction<br />
Somebody gifted with a scanner and a keypad<br />
Can rustle up an animal in cyberspace and time dad<br />
Can it be really real as Takarazuka?<br />
A message that is subtle as a kiss from a bazooka<br />
Come into the water, don't be scared of a verruca<br />
Erase that from your mind, the bottom line is filthy lucre<br />
<br />
They're going to give you information<br />
They want to put in formation<br />
Is it a cause for celebration?<br />
A non-creative recreation?<br />

<br />
If you're virtually hungry, eat a virtual meal<br />
If you're virtually sick, then do you virtually heal?<br />
With a virtual brain, invent a virtual wheel<br />
You're a virtual slave, but the kneeling is real<br />
<br />
We're going for a swim in someone else's stream of consciousness and I hope that we don't drown... <br />
<br />
A change of perception<br />
Under pain of deception<br />
Latest stab into modernity<br />
Chew the flavour of eternity<br />
How does anybody else feel?<br />
Who can tell me what's the real deal?<br />
Will the glove and goggle free you?<br />
Or put your consciousness in curfew?<br />
<br />
No need to answer any question<br />
The mass of information giving mental indigestion<br />
Somebody lacking Internet without a modem<br />
Is waiting for the chance of overrating what you show them<br />
Can it be as really real as waking in a fever?<br />
Asleep inside a dream that's advertising Unilever?<br />
Come into the universe of corporate dementia<br />
Where everybody swaps their teeth for permanent indenture<br />
<br />
