[Verse 1]

I saw the local cable company

They came and dug up the road

They cut the roots and killed the tree

To give me inFORMation overload

They laid an optical vein with the heart of glass

So the rich infuse but the poor are bypassed

No need to qualify distinction

Of any creature if alive or in extinction

Somebody gifted with a scanner and a keypad

Can rustle up an animal in cyberspace and time dad

Can be as really real as takarazuka

A message that is subtle as a kiss from a bazooka

Come into the water dont be scared of a verrucha

Erase that from your mind the bottom line is filthy lucre

[Chorus]

Theyre going to give you

InFORMation

They want to put you in FORMation

Is it a cause for celebration a non creative recreation

If youre virtually hungry eat a virtual meal

If youre virtually sick then do you virtually heal

With a virtual brain invent a virtual wheel

Youre a virtual slave but the kneeling is real

[Bridge]

We're going for a swim in someone elses

Stream of consciousness and I hope that

We dont drown

[Verse 2]

A change of perception

Under pain of deception

Latest stab into modernity

Chew the flavour of eternity

How does anyone else feel

Who can tell me whats the real deal

Will the glove and goggle free you

Or put your consciousness in curfew

No need to answer any question

The mass of inFORMation giving mental indigestion

Somebody lacking internet without a modem

Is waiting for the chance of overrating what you show them

Can it be as really real as waking in a fever

Asleep inside a dream thats advertising unilever

Come into the universe of corporate dementia

Where everybody swaps their teeth for permanent indenture
