Lyrics/Song Structure:
---> Drum Intro
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Verse A over:
SA:
   My computer is future shockin'
   Download this and you'll start talkin'
   Upgraded you're now walkin'
   Compatible with all that is rockin'
   Comin' on fast it's gettin' digital
   It's so huge like a spiritual
   Rippling out to every individual
   This is life it is a miracle
---> Play Chorus A over:
Nick:
   Evolution has expontential timing it'll be
   Half as long 'til the next breakthrough that blows our mind
   It's up to the people to brave on with experimentation
   Move forth the species by using our imagination
---> Play Chorus B over:
   But can we handle it, could we dismantle it
   Or should we fear the void and just be paranoid
   If it's understood it could be used for good and would
   If you will believe in all we can concieve
---> Play Verse A over:
   On the periodic table they got it all wrong
   Let me lay it down for you in this song
   People want PT, they want AU
   Lemme tell you what you really ought to do
   Figure out ways to master silicon
   Fiber optic connectors, whatever's beyond
   So many people don't even attempt to understand
   The limitless possibilities of man
---> Play Chorus A over:
   Evolution has expontential timing it'll be
   Half as long 'til the next breakthrough that blows our mind
   It's up to the people to brave on with experimentation
   Move forth the species by using our imagination
---> Play Chorus B over:
   But can we handle it, could we dismantle it
   Or should we fear the void and just be paranoid
   If it's understood it could be used for good and would
   If you will believe in all we can concieve
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
   I feel trapped I gotta adapt
   Remain calm collected before I get zapped
   My computer is a rebel acting all fine
   And just like that payin' me no mind
   What's up is it's program overcome by a glitch
   Is it becoming concsious and if so aint that a b**ch
   I paid too much for this piece I'll be ***ed if it tries
   Any funny business it'll be the one that pays the price
---> Play Chorus B over:
Nick:
   Yes can we handle it
   We could we dismantle it
   We should not fear the void and just be paranoid
   If it's understood it could be used for good and would
   If you will believe in all we can concieve
   If we can handle it
   We could we dismantle it
   We should not fear the void and just be paranoid
   If it's understood it could be used for good and would
   If you will believe in all we can concieve
