The Net that usurped the Sky
Capo on 2
Emin G
Well I got people on my right and people on my left
D
Am Emin
Tellin’ me that I can live forever
Emin G
One through faith in the Lord, the other a computer cord
D Amin Emin
My body’s done for either way I go
Emin
G
Cuz them old white men hate their flesh, rather be turned to
code
D Amin Emin
They can’t stand decay and death, so they’ll digitize their
soul
Emin
G
A secular salvation, perfect communication
D Amin Emin
Without noise, without mediation
Am
But you can’t escape mortality
C
Emin
By the software programs on your PC
Amin
Even if we drug our food
C Emin
We can’t transcend our finitude
Amin
And if heaven’s not
even a state of mind
C
It can’t flow through a cable line . . .
D
That dream is just a waste of time
F
A disguised intelligent design
Abar
F C
Of the gods who refuse to die
Abar F C
That don’t care for you or I
Abar F C
Just their transcendental high
Abar F C
On the Net that usurped the sky
But this is not the only choice, someone says in a machinic
voice
You can take the path that goes under
Leave goddesses and Lords, embrace the cyborg
God is dead and man a recent blunder
Cuz blasphemy’s the piety of thought that breaks the Net
where we are caught
And man and gods find themselves parodied and mocked
A sensed ideation, invention and creation
With remainder, endless differentiation
And we know that, you can’t escape mortality
By the software programs on a PC
Even if we drug our food
We can’t escape our finitude
And if heaven’s not even a state of mind
It can’t flow through a cable line
That dream is just a waste of time
A disguised intelligent design
Of the gods that refuse to die
That don’t care for you or I
Just their transcendental high
On the Net that usurped the sky
On the Net that usurped the sky . . .
