Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Drum Intro
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Verse A over:
SA:
My computer is future shockin'
Download this and you'll start talkin'
Upgraded you're now walkin'
Compatible with all that is rockin'
Comin' on fast it's gettin' digital
It's so huge like a spiritual
Rippling out to every individual
This is life it is a miracle
---> Play Chorus A over:
Nick:
Evolution has expontential timing it'll be
Half as long 'til the next breakthrough that blows our mind
It's up to the people to brave on with experimentation
Move forth the species by using our imagination
---> Play Chorus B over:
But can we handle it, could we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
---> Play Verse A over:
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
Let me lay it down for you in this song
People want PT, they want AU
Lemme tell you what you really ought to do
Figure out ways to master silicon
Fiber optic connectors, whatever's beyond
So many people don't even attempt to understand
The limitless possibilities of man
---> Play Chorus A over:
Evolution has expontential timing it'll be
Half as long 'til the next breakthrough that blows our mind
It's up to the people to brave on with experimentation
Move forth the species by using our imagination
---> Play Chorus B over:
But can we handle it, could we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
I feel trapped I gotta adapt
Remain calm collected before I get zapped
My computer is a rebel acting all fine
And just like that payin' me no mind
What's up is it's program overcome by a glitch
Is it becoming concsious and if so aint that a bitch
I paid too much for this piece I'll be damned if it tries
Any funny business it'll be the one that pays the price
---> Play Chorus B over:
Nick:
Yes can we handle it
We could we dismantle it
We should not fear the void and just be paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
If we can handle it
We could we dismantle it
We should not fear the void and just be paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
