Lyrics




Monday afternoon I gave a presentation to the staff

Kicked off with a knock-knock joke to liven up the charts and graphs

That crowd

Never laughs out loud

But all my internet friends were tickled pink

They put animated smileys when they passed around the link

They said, Hey, girl, here’s another awesome thing we found

Sarah Palin getting smacked down

With a Prince song in the background

Better watch it quick before they take it down



Wednesday night I figured I’d go out and buy a DVD

Walked into a store and walked right out again immediately

This sucks

They want thirty bucks



But all my internet friends give things away

They just really like to make stuff even when it doesn’t pay

They say, Hey, girl, here’s a picture, here’s a poem too

Here’s a blog post, here’s a podcast

Here’s a song and here’s a lolcat

And an iPhone application all for you



Saturday I had a date with Dave the software engineer

Told him bout the time I got my headphones wrapped around my ear

I swear

He just didn’t care



But all my internet friends they listen well

They make sympathetic comments when I say that I’m in hell

They say, Hey, girl, what’s your status? I say, Omigod,

I’m not sleeping, I’m not eating

I can’t take another meeting

With the clean, well-meaning morons at my job



There are those who say I spend a little too much time online

Sometimes I agree, but on the whole I think I’m doing fine

Click, buzz

I feel strong because

All my internet friends are here with me

Saying Love and information want only to be free

And we’ll take no crap from anyone who says that they know better

We won’t stand for that because we all came here together

We’re remaining interwoven

We’re a net, and we have chosen

To be knotted tightly to each other

You be client, I’ll be server

We won’t ever have to be alone
