Something's up with the Internet
This file won't download
"Estimated download time: 2 days"?!?
I gotta say, that's pretty slow
And now my MP3s are all corrupted
And hey, so are my OGGs
This video won't upload to YouTube
I can't write on my blog
Since everything is shutting down
We'd better turn ourselves around
And go
CHORUS
Back to the abacus
Because our machines have failed us
Back to the abacus
Before we fall into Erebus
Cell phones take forever to charge
So now we're using pay phones
Vinyl's finally back in style
The retro nerds aren't alone
People don't want groceries from Wal-Mart
They like their food home-grown
No chemicals or genetic alterations
They wanna grow it on their own
All the new stuff is going out
We're going by a different route
That goes
[CHORUS]
Even abacuses fall apart
Their beads fly everywhere
They may be simple machines
That doesn't save them from wear and tear
No matter how far back we go
Our inventions will break down one by one
It's just the way of the world we've made
A gradual descent into oblivion
Everything will break down
We can't escape it, but for now
We'll go
[CHORUS]
