Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) Dusty monitor, glowing green and grey Selling futures that were born just yesterday Silicon dreams in a cardboard box We were kings of the mountain, watching the stocks Trade your soul for a T1 line Everything is digital, everything is fine (Verse) The gold rush ended with a dial-up scream Now we're waking up from a fiber-optic dream Swap the suit for the denim again The ticker tape is bleeding like a fountain pen Just a ghost in the machine, a glitch in the code While the moving trucks pull out of the Silicon Road. (Chorus) And we’re surfing the wave of glass Hoping the investment funds last Click the link, watch the screen go white We’re losing signal in the middle of the night Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust In the land of the boom and bust. (Verse) Coffee in the lobby, flannel on the floor CEO is screaming, "Give 'em more, Build a virtual empire out of thin air While the real world’s rotting under there The IPO was a lightning strike Now we’re hitchhiking down a lonesome pike Server’s down and the lights are low Nowhere left for the data to go. (Chorus) And we’re surfing the wave of glass Hoping the investment funds last Click the link, watch the screen go white We’re losing signal in the middle of the night Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust In the land of the boom and bust. (Bridge) Error 404... I can't find you anymore... The connection’s timed out... What was it all about? What was it all about?! (Chorus) And we’re surfing the wave of glass Hoping the investment funds last Click the link, watch the screen go white We’re losing signal in the middle of the night Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust In the land of the boom and bust. (Chorus) And we’re surfing the wave of glass Hoping the investment funds last Click the link, watch the screen go white We’re losing signal in the middle of the night Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust In the land of the boom and bust. (Outro) System failure. Shutting down. Boom and the bust... Just pixels and dust…
