commentary on computer addiction and virtual reality

Lyrics

Living in Cyber-Paradise

I haven't left the house in forty five days
Quit brushing my teeth, forgot how to shave
Get up in the morning and I go to Myspace
Life is good in my happy place

I have ten thousand friends, they all love me
And I love all of them, virtually
None but the nicest of women and men
And they all thank me for being their friend

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Bob4 dropped by today and caught me off guard
With a link to an "old man" birthday card
I wrote, "megabyte me", he typed, "go to hell"
And we had ourselves a big L.O.L.

Saturday night, I go to Bambi7's page
Says she's gonna be a supermodel one day
She could do it too, from the way it sounds
All she's gotta do is lose that last ninety pounds

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Candy12's in a thong on her profile
Wearing little more than cleavage and a smile
If you ask her to, she'll forward pictures of her ass
She's looking for Prince Charming, but he's gotta have some class

Then there's Jake9, he's gonna be a rock star
Soon as he can master tuning his guitar
"I'll listen to yours, if you listen to mine
It's in the key of G-demolished, but I think it sounds fine"

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Sunshine's still a deadhead, so her bio said
She hasn't come to grips with the fact that Jerry's dead
Refuses to believe that he's in the great beyond
She's sure he's making ice cream somewhere in Vermont

Dan's a nice guy, although a little insecure
Sends three bulletins a day, more than most folks can endure
Top-ten lists of reasons he thinks we're the living end
And we gotta send 'em back to him to prove that we're his friends

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Now it hasn't always been a picnic, you know
The wife and the all the kids left several weeks ago
Luckily I had my friends to see me through that
And we didn't have to open our mouths at all to chat

And the boss IM'd me to tell me I'd been canned
I told him I'd been busy, but he didn't understand
If he'd only go to Myspace and send a friend request
Surely he would see the reason I am so obsessed

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Oh my God! What's happening? What was that bright flash?
My life just passed before my eyes, I watch my hard drive crash
I sit in silent horror, and wave a fond goodbye
As virtually all of my virtual friends...fry

My life is done, I grab a gun, finger on the trigger
When, on my screen, a spot of light, could it be getting bigger?
Then, like a beacon in the night, when I think it can't get sadder
A message shines through, it's Lorelie, she'd like for me to add her

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise

Everybody likes me, everyone's nice
Living in cyber-paradise
Sideways happy-face to all you guys
Living in cyber-paradise
