GRANDADDY - THE SOPHTWARE SLUMP (2000)
Adrift again 2000 man
You lost your maps, you lost your plans
Did you hear him yell: "Land damn it land" ?
You say you can't, well I hope you can
I hope you can
How's it goin' 2000 man
Welcome back to solid ground my friend
I heard all your controls were jammed
Well it's just nice to have you back again
But I guess they still don't understand
And they can never understand
And they said go find 2000 man
And they said tell him we've got new plans
But instead I'm here to tell you, friend
I believe they want you to give in
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Did you love this world
And did this world not love you
Did you love this world
And did this world not love you
Did you love this world
And did this world not love you
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Don't give in 2000 man
Hewlett's daughter, loved her father
And I think she loved me too for a little while
Hewlett's daughter, I forgot her
Now I'm treating water, water, water
And waste at night
High above the wrecks on ice shelves and glaciers
I spy below the mess and measure the pressure
Where sofas float on roads and somebody stole your guns
Well, sir I'm the only one to get back your stolen guns
I should have been your son
High above the wrecks on ice shelves and dressers
With crash united sewn on all of my dress shirts
They firefell the roads and somebody stole your guns
Well, sir I'm the only one to get back your stolen guns
I should have been your son
Sir I'm the only one
I should have been your son
Last night something pretty bad happened
We lost a friend, all shocked and broken
Shut down exploded
Jeddy 3 is what we first called him
Then it was Jed
But Jed's system's dead
Therefore so's Jed
We assembled him in the kitchen
Made out of this and
Made out of that and
Whatever was at hand
When we finished Jed
We were so proud
We celebrated
We congratulated
At what we'd created
Jed could run or walk sing or talk and
Compile thoughts and
Solve lots of problems
We learned so much from him
A couple years went by and something happened
We gave Jed less attention
We had new inventions
We left for a convention
Jed had found our booze and drank every drop
He fizzled and popped
He rattled and knocked
And finally he just stopped.
Should never have left the crystal lake
For parties full of folks who flake
Italian leather winter games
Retired by the duraflames
The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you're just a modern man
It's shining like a chandelier
Shining somewhere far away from here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
And find my way again
I've lost my way again
Should never have left the crystal lake
For areas where trees are fake
And dogs are dead with broken hearts
Collapsing by the coffee carts
The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you're just a modern man
It's shining like a chandelier
Shining somewhere far away from here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
And find my way again.
I've lost my way again.
Yeah, I traded laughs in for charstengrafs
But all of that is only fun until evening comes
Your guess is as good as mine, as to just what kind
Of trouble I might find, tonight out of my mind.
My mind, my mind, my mind
I wanna sleep underneath the weeping willow
As it cries all night quietly
It's tears all around me
I'll sleep there so soundly
'Till I'm allowed finally
To wake up and be happy again
To wake up and be happy again
Sit on the toaster like a rock
No need to worry about a shock
All of the microwaves are dead
Just like the salamander said
The refrigerators house the frogs
The conduit it is the hollow log
Broken household appliance national Forest
Air conditioners in the woods
Broken household appliance national Forest
Mud and metal mixing good
Meadows resemble showroom floors
Owls fly out of oven doors
Stream banks are lined with vacuum bags
Flowers reside with filthy rags
A family of deer were happy that
The clearing looked like a laundry mat
Broken household appliance national Forest
Air conditioners in the woods
Broken household appliance national Forest
Mud and metal mixing good
Apparently before Jed had left us
He wrotes some poems
Wrote them for no-one
I guess I'll show them
Here's one of Jed's poems
You said I'd wake up dead drunk
Alone in the park
I called you a liar
But how right you were
Air conditioned TV land, 20 grand
Walk to the bank
With shakes from the night before
Staring at the tiki floor
High school wedding ring
Keys are under the mats
Of all the houses here
But not motels
I try to sing it funny like Beck
But it's bringing me down
Lower than ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Test tones and failed
Clones and odd parts made you
instrumental
I found your house and I saw your car
But I've no idea where you are from the Dial-a-view
Tire scraps on the federal roads
Look like crash landed crows from the Dial-a-view

I dream at night of going home someday
Somewhere so far away
So dream, alright
I know it's gonna take some time
I'm going home someday
Fifteen years is almost done
And I don't recognize anyone
From the Dial-a-view.
My home, my friends and you
I watched them fade
But what can I do
From the Dial-a-view

I dream
So you'll aim toward the sky
And you'll rise high today
Fly away, far away
Far from pain
So you'll aim toward the sky
And you'll rise high today
Fly away, far away
Far from pain
So you'll aim toward the sky
And you'll rise high today
Fly away, far away
Far from pain
So you'll aim toward the sky
And you'll rise high today
Fly away, far away
Far from pain
