World for Real
Cattle is as browser does
It just walks the fast-food lane
Takes it in, no fingers crossed
In cattle’s lane it’s always right
Tugs translate to poor excuses
Dork-mind fed the thick conclusions
Lacks reasoning to see the flies
Lame ideas it puts on screen
Another soul is losing dreams
A world for real and on the net
A world for real it took to bed
Cause cattle is as browser does
It just walks the fast-food lane
Takes it in, no fingers crossed
Dork is browsing, viewing sites
Takes its apple for a ride
Wife and children left aside
All aware it’s lost, the fight
The emptiness, it doesn’t see
Is killing it and her and he
The sense to be is lost in space
Of disconnecting human race
Cause cattle is as browser does
It follows flocks on internet
And runs with every buzz
