BLEARY-EYED
(To the tune of "Myriad," from the Kansas album
Somewhere
to Elsewhere)
Upon the screen, Times Roman font
More web sites than one could ever want
Dysfunction's near; ghosts of active lifestyles rise to haunt
A shackled wrist, chained to the mouse
Families beg us to get out of the house
The trap is sprung: former interests new compulsions douse
Bleary-eyed
See the minutes as they're adding up
Hours and hours
Bleary-eyed
Lens and pupil captive to the page
Link upon link, every 'Net portal spins its Web
Our daily lives? Procrastinate
Spouse and kids fume as we vegetate
'Net addiction blinding our Outlook beyond Netscape
Bleary-eyed
See the minutes as they're adding up
Hours and hours
Bleary-eyed
Lens and pupil captive to the page
Link upon link, every 'Net portal spins its Web
URLs no man can spell
No online clock to tick
No pages left unlinked
No choices but to click
Bleary-eyed
See the minutes as they're adding up
Hours and hours
Bleary-eyed
Lens and pupil captive to the page
Link upon link, every 'Net portal spins its Web
