turn the program on
as we're programed to
from our childhood on
click, type, beep, stare
dont contradict
or your friends'll be gone

teach yourself newspeak
with emoticons and audibles
choose your point of view
from a drop down menu
theres nothing new
that hasnt been told you

sit tight
drop your thoughts like a bomb
explode into nothingness
laugh your head off at some new sitcom

rise up to new heights
finally you'll reach reality
find yourself on a mountaintop
with some rock climbers on fox tv
