The computer and in particular, the world wide web, cell phones etc have chnaged the way we live.
Lyrics
THis world we surf on is a million light years long You can hear the net beat jsut like your heart Theyve put eyes in your head ,and cmaeras in your bed They know when u end and when u start. Im on the superhighyway I got tears in my eyes Im trying to read an email from my love Shes gone way down south shes in another land But she flies to me like an electric dove ANd I hate to hear her crazy sex engine go I can see across the land I can land acroos the sea I can watch the smart bombs as they fall I can send out the drones while i sip my coffee safe and hidden in my home And i hate to hear that crazy search engine go As Long as I stay tied as long as I stay bound I can remain connected and alive The worlds a greater place with the dust of the atom bomb Now just an aneuysm in my mind And i hate to hear their crazy death engines go This wolrd that we surf is a million lights long But you know u can see to the other side All that u think and all that you do You know you no longer can hide. And i hate to hear that crazy engine go Just liek a trai on the track THis world we surf on is a million light years long all of it You can hear see taste and you can hold If this world ever gets it right Ill be home tomorrow night But for now Im lost along the road and I hate to hear that crazy engine go

Hi Roger, Nice work on this. Lyrically very interesting. Are you in the military? But yes you are so correct we can do so much virtually and as good as it can be sometimes not so good since we lose the personal touch. Vocals are strong. Reminds me of Spooky Tooth a little bit. Nice work and thanks for coming by my page.
