Netscape State of Mind
loosely based on "New York State of Mind"
(with apologies to
Billy Joel
)
Some folks like to
get away
, but still they stay stuck in
ASCII hell
,
FTP wuarchive
,
telnet to The Well
,
I'm hookin' up
Winsock
to an
ISDN
line
-
I'm in a
Netscape
state of mind.
I
seen
all the
movie stars
in their
fancy cars
, and I found
their shrines
,
Found a home
,
made a web page
,
put myself online
,
But I know
how to search
now and I don't want to
waste more time
-
I'm in a
Netscape
state of mind.
It was so easy
surfing randomly
,
Out of touch with
what's cool
and
what's new
,
But now I need my
Feed
and
MTV
,
The Dilbert Zone
,
HotWired
,
Yahoo
...
It will
warp
your reality
-and
it's fine with me
'cause I've seen
the worst
,
Don't care if it's
PythOnline
or some
pithy verse
,
I
don't have any reason
, I've
left it all behind
-
I'm in a
Netscape
state of mind.
It was so easy
surfing randomly
,
Out of touch with
what's cool
and
what's new
,
But now I need a
place
to
think deeply
,
Strange things
,
Kirk sings
,
The Spot
,
The oo
...
[long piano solo here...feel free to hum]
Forget
Prodigy
,
Compuserve
, and
America Online
-
'Cause I'm in a
Netscape state of mind
