about

A song about internet addiction. Snuck in a Philip K. Dick reference as well.

lyrics

Turn on the screen, and
Say hello, there is
Nowhere we can't go

Turn off your brain, and
Plug it in, we'll
See just where you might fit in

So press agree, don't
Read the terms, they
Contain all of these big words

Depressing life
That you have made
Sitting inside cyberspace

Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin

Turn off the screen, and
Say goodbye to the
Sacred, cherished lie

You'll hurry now before the
Fake, hollow thoughts
Fade away

Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin

Just turn it off

So disagree, deny
The herd, but you're
Still there, trapped in big words

Depressing life
That you have made
Sitting outside the human race

Turn it off

Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin
