lyrics

hey mom and dad, plug in your wires, its coming for you
reliability, liability, inconsistency, then dependency
open up the box and part the sea of packing peanuts
and shine up your new 56k

sap runs out all over this blue world
connect me away, my broken mask
a is for the area you cover
o is for the over that you cast
and l is for the lies, yeah

placed the call then cut the cord
dialing out into the world
take a minute, feel this space, unhook that face from the screen and get gone
seek out a place to sit down on the lawn
my green grass not forgotten

first we talk to the operator then
we spin round that rotary then
we push buttons make cool sounds then
the voice turns in to numbers

press the keys and trot the globe
buy it all from living room

first you move from the monitor, then
crack bones from sitting there then
tie your shoes and let your feet pound then
your no slave to computers

sap runs out all over this blue world
connect me away, my broken mask
a is for the area you cover
o is for the over that you cast
and l is for the lies, yeah

hey mom and dad, plug in your wires, its coming for you
reliability, liability, inconsistency, then dependency
open up the box and part the sea of packing peanuts
and shine up your new 56k
