THE OVERPRIVILEGED LYRICS

"A Better Way"

plug me in i need to know, turn me on my mind is numbing,
this innocence has been overthrown -- the real world is coming
a beowulf cluster of cynical undead trace routes shrink to fit the die
recursively calling more resources the processor is bound to fry
though i bring across this fertile valley more soldiers to the fray
what i want is an end to this war (of culture vs profit) i've seen a better way
first post killed jon katz on the day Napster died,
new ideas marked as trolls concepts get personified
once we've verbed every noun, idealism: slashdotted,
we will have used all the points that we'd been allotted
corporate interest's interest piqued we cranked the volts, they felt the heat
watch them as they come to strap on a bigger heatsink as we speak
remove the buzzwords, what's left then? tell me that there's something more
than those digital impulses tell me what we built them for.

Thanks to Oberst Klink for these lyrics
