Back to the Abacus

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]
