There's been a war with Geo, Xoom may soon have one too

Come lay beside me
Add your links to mine
We'll surf a list, we'll join a ring
And who knows what we'll find
The door is open
I can see light through the crack
That's one more 'steader out the door
Who's never comin' back
What I've felt; what I've known
Torn the pages, carved in stone
The ol' trap door, did they open it for you
Have you been GeoCensored too?
Come lay beside me
Under cover of night
And when we have our own domains
We'll bring these sins to light
Oh, not so fast now
'Cause they'll sue us if we dare
Endless running, chasing still
Yeah they'll sue us if we dare
Yeah they'll sue us if we dare
Hell yeah, I dare them
What I've felt; what I've known
Torn the pages, carved in stone
The ol' trap door, did they open it for you
Have you been GeoCensored too?
They cared not then, they care not still
Perhaps they never will
I won't take this, no
And neither should you
Because you're GeoCensored too
Never free
Never me
Because you're GeoCensored too
You decieved us, yet when
You saw that we'd go again
You tried to hide
In some, in some, in some lies
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
(We're leaving, leaving, yeah, leaving)
All your tricks make your place despised
(You're always despised, yes you're despised)
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
We're heading off to other lands
Xoom gets us from your hands
And Crosswinds too
You ain't, you ain't, you ain't nice
You had some megabytes
Tricks to make you seem right
But we saw them through
In some, in some, in some lies
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
(We're leaving, leaving, yeah, leaving)
All your tricks make your place despised
(You're always despised, yes you're despised)
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
If we were stuck in Geo
We'd all scream "No, no, no"
But you would object
You ain't, you ain't, you ain't nice
We believed you all the way
Until one June day
Then came the watermark
In some, in some, in some lies
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
(We're leaving, leaving, yeah, leaving)
All your tricks make your place despised
(You're always despised, yes you're despised)
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
(We're leaving, leaving, yeah, leaving)
All your tricks make your place despised
(You're always despised, yes you're despised)
Stop telling us your sympathetic lies
Do what you want
But remember what was found
Of community
And how you blew the ground
In the remembrance of everything you had
And what you took
And what you had
And what you took
Geo, it's not quite the place it used to be
The old friends, well, you took them all from me
Your members, they will come and they will go
But one day, when you lose, you'll finally know
Now here you go again, with much mindless rhetoric
Can't keep lies to yourself
We've found out.
Who wants to go to Geo and join?
Do you think your moves would not be found?
The lies all surfaced
But you wouldn't feel any sad
Thinking you'd make up for what you lost and what you had
And what you took
And what you had
And what you took
Geo, it's not quite the place it used to be
The old friends, well, you took them all from me
Your members, they will come and they will go
But one day, when you lose, you'll finally know
Geo, it's not quite the place it used to be
The old friends, well, you took them all from me
Your members, they will come and they will go
But one day, when you lose, you'll finally know
You'll know
You will know
Yes Geo, you will finally know.
Do you need a new home?
Were you Geo-censored?
Go to freewebspace dot net...
Looking at Peo's page
I escaped many bad providers
Checked Tripod and Crosswinds
They may have some sins
But they'll provide me light of day
To get me right back on my way
Do you need a new home?
Were you Geo-censored?
Go to freewebspace dot net...
So many providers!
Where can I go now on the web?
But Peo has reviews of many lairs...
He'll give me great advice there...
Which places are good for me?
His guides will help me see.
Do you need a new home?
Do you need a new home?
Do you need a new home?
Were you Geo-censored?
Go to freewebspace dot net...
Listen to your wallet
That's all that matters to you
Listen to your wallet
Do all your thinking for you
I know just where you're goin'
And I think you know why
You listen to your wallet
'Cause that's all that counts in your eyes
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They're swept away to disappear like old ghosts,
the feeling of belonging to your host
Listen to your wallet
Seems to speak in your ear
Listen to your wallet
While BS flies out your rear
Yeah I know where you're goin'
Yeah, I'll spit where you fall
As stated by your wallet,
I'm just another freebie brick in your wall
You can have opinions, but not those of your choice
They will delete you, for the sound of your voice
They'll send you packin', with a smug taunting grin
Just how the hell did YOU get in?
Listen to your wallet
As it cries to be fed
Listen to your wallet
It's inside of your head
I know where you're goin'
Yeah I'll see you in hell
Cause you listen to your wallet
And I'm just one more soul to sell
GeoCensors spreading pestilence, intimidation, terror
If we can't delete 'em we'll just give 'em quite a scare
They monitor Yahoo, find critics' sites within a day
Spray a can of legal whoopass on 'em, blow 'em all away
(Legal threats, that is; Comin' for you, threatenin' to sue)
Y'know, Geo criticism makes the advertisers cringe
So the Nazis make up B.S. that their trademarks are infringed
Yeah, they'll bitch at all the sysops, keep it up until they crack
Keep screaming crying threatening until the site is sacked
(Deleted, that is; No more words spoke, account revoked)
Well, the next thing you know Mark Zeman's outta luck
The Galleria's gone and Sandell's a sitting duck
They next went after Webb, turned his Snicker to a frown
And ya know they just won't stop until they get 'em all shut down
(Thought police, that is; Must forbid this, bad for business)
They hunted Harvey down for sending advertisers mail
The Black Background Campaign went in the Geo garbage pail
The Cerebellum's juiced, HitlerCities may be next
So we better stick together, the lost souls of hypertext
(Solidarity, that is; One for all and all for one)
The GeoStapo secret guardians keep quiet 'til they get 'em
Half the time the Webmasters don't even know what hit 'em
This just isn't right, but there's a way to make 'em stop
That's calling up their advertisers, starting a boycott
(Hit 'em where it hurts, behave or lose your shirts...Y'all play
nice now, y'hear?)
And i was 'round when the watermark
Had its moment of debut and fame
Made damn sure that homesteaders
Obeyed or I sealed their fate
Please to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around the Geo-Pop
When I saw it was time for a change
Added some rules and advertisers
Homesteaders cried out in vain
I wrote the script
Held a vice-president rank
When the watermark raged
And the pages stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.
I watched with glee
While the new Geo-Stock
Cost for 10 dollars
For the support it made
I shouted out
Add the GeoMark
When after all
It was David and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and fame
And I laid traps for boycotters
Who get nuked before they get us sued
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.
(Instrumental)
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name.
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game.
SPOKEN:
Just as every page is a criminal
And all CL's Saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Evans
'Cause I'm need of some green stamps
So if you meet me
Have some courtsey
Have some sympathy, and some good taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll bane your soul from this page!
SUNG:
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
(Instrumental)
Tell me loser, what's my name
Tell me citizen, guess my name
Tell me liasion, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
(Instrumental)
What's my name
Tell me, what's my name
Tell me, what's my name
(Instrumental all the way to the end)
I can get no satisfaction, I can get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. I can get no,
I can get no,
When I'm watching my page, and that man come on the forums;
How greedy he can be,
Well, he can't be a good man
'Cause he works for Geo and wants the money too
I can get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say.
I can get no satisfaction, I can get no (page with action,)
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can get no, I can get no,
When I'm ridin' bottom of Geoworld, and I'm doin' this little boycott;
And Geo tryin' to kick me out. But I had already left,
Better come back later on another site, 'cause you see Geo is on
a
losing streak,
I can get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say. I can get no, I can get no,
I can get no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no
satisfaction.
CHORUS:
Mamma told me not to come(2)
Geo isn't the way to have fun.
Open up the pop-up
Watch the browser crash
Think I'm almost getting sick from the watermark.
And that GeoGuide you require bout scare me half to death.
Delete that page sucker,
Let me go somewhere else.
CHORUS
The real audio was blasting
Someones knocking at my email
I'm looking at my website
Its been nuked out of Geo
I've seen so many censorship practices I ain't seen before
Don't know what legal action that I could take on them
CHORUS
Lock horns; I pushed and I strived
Until my Xoom password arrived
Bury the talk of 'em, no-one may read
Bury it deep down where no one will see
They're better than you
Nooo, can't stop this 'stain from showin'
Oh, yo, nothin' calms it down
Ohhh, can't stop this 'stain from jumpin', all over my page
Ohh, yo, But not in my new town!
'Cause they're better than you
Squelch talk of the Promised Land
Holding our reigns in your hand
I've run out of patience, and run out of room
I've packed up my things, yeah I'm movin' to Xoom
'Cause their better than you
Ohh, what's all this fightin' for?
Oh, yo, nothin' brings me down
Why not just walk out the door...
Ohhh, they'll never stop the exodus, disgruntled victims outta
town
Oh, no, Geo'll never live it down!
Xoom is better than you
Oh, much better than you
Better than you!
[Chorus:]
That's enough out of you
It's gotten wierd enough for me
I've had enough
That's quite enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Once again
Stare at a "404" of black and white
Censors did their sniping, on a dark and stormy night
Unbroken regulations
Ne'er did I speak of evil true
But I guess that don't mean shit to you.
Chorus
Looking back
A sidelong glance at Geo's favorite haunts
The squeaky wheel always gets what it wants
I think I've had enough.
Chorus
Chorus
I've listened to liars
I've listened to fools
I've watched the sites drop out
Because of the rules
I can't be subjected to rules and control
That I don't believe in, I won't live the role
Java applets crashing
Driving me insane
I'm gonna free my site from a WaterStain
I know that things are going wrong for me
But they don't listen to my words
Yeh-h
Heirs of an ad war
That's what we've become
My browser keeps crashing from code that is dumb
Ugly, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that shouldn't be there
Mental wounds not healing
I know what's to blame
I'm gonna free my site from a WaterStain
We thought this a community
Damn your tricks
Damn your lies
And if
You impose more crap now
You will never be loved again
I still hear Loundy saying
"This is for you, the members -- for you, members..."
'Cause you've
Lied to us before
And we don't trust you now
It's too little, too late --
We are heading off to Xoom, heading off to Xoom.
You don't listen Geo
The people are crying
You made up little prizes
Damn your tricks
Damn your lies
You put up more ad pages
Just some crap
We ain't back.
We can't
Trust your little tricks
Watermark and Avenue picks
Geo made us put up with it
And we're taking it no more, taking it no more
'Cause you've
Lied to us before
And we don't trust you now
It's too little, too late --
We are heading off to Xoom, heading off to Xoom.
But I was frustrated with GeoCities policies
Aww, please -- you've bruised my little knees
That was when Geo introduced the Watermark
Oh, it was like GeoMark -- but we couldn't nark
I wrote a letter to the Geo sponsors
But they used a spam launcher, it was stauncher
I was branded way beyond belief
I'd say "Man, what good grief!"
I hoped to get away
I tried begging Rich Rygg for mercy
Wouldn't listen to me
Geo, I'll never stay...
I FTPed my site, and there was nothing here
Noo, all my files had disappeared
Won't you sign up for Xoom, 'cause there's plenty of room
Yeah, you'll be in a safe coccoon
I was branded way beyond belief
I'd say "Man, what good grief!"
I hoped to get away
I tried begging Rich Rygg for mercy
Wouldn't listen to me
Geo, I'll never stay...
Chrous:
And I'm bringing you a war that's true
So get ready, so get ready
I'm gonna try to make you hate Geo too
So get ready, so get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If Geo wants to play nuke and delete
(It's alright)
The page you're gonna miss, and the time it takes to find room
(It's off the site)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out Geo, 'cause here I come
Chrous
(Get ready)
All my friends should leave Geo too, I respect that
(Be alright)
I hope you leave them before they nuke you, the way I planned it
(Be off the site)
So twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out Geo 'cause here WE come
Chorus
Chrous:
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to leave
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Ha-Ha, you're bloody well right
You know you got the right to escape
Yeah-Yeah, you're bloody well right
You know your right to escape
Geo doesn't care anyway
Write your problems in detail
Take them to their sponsors
You had you're cry - no I should say wail
In the meantime Geo nukes your page
Chrous
Title: Get Back
Author: Kim (Harv) Harvey
Original: The Beatles; Get Back
Evans thought he had a brainstorm
But it was another scam
All the homesteaders say they're mad
While Geo gets the cash
Get back, get back
Get back to where you belonged
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you belonged
Get Back Evans. Go home
Get back, get back,
Back to where you belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you belonged
Get back Evans
Your homesteaders waiting for you
We're moving out of Geo
And to piss you off
Get on home Evans
Get back, get back
Get back to where you belonged.
In the heat of a june night
In the land of the free home page
When the site of Geo died
And we talk about it gone
When a man named Tom Evans
Tried to take that site his own
And he called his friends to war
With the forces above the law
Chrous:
I heard the chatroom cry
I heard to parade the night Geo died
Brother what a night homesteaders saw
Brother what a fight homesteaders won
Yes indeed.
And the sound of battle rang
Through the streets of the old chatroom
Till the last of the Geo staff
Had surrendered up or died.
There was shouting on the sites
And the sound of 'Thank you'
And I asked Calvin who said
"David Bohnett was dead"
Chorus
And then there was no page at all
But the fight continues on
We wont give up
And then another site came along
I join 'em up
And rebuild my page
And they left me alone.
Chorus
You should've listened to complaints that your members had
You never understood the extent of our unhappiness
But you guys only wanted to get rich
By another advertising pitch
But we flew away and decided to take no more
We prayed for a revived place
But Geo, you've lost your face
You didn't learn, and you're paying the eternal price.
All we needed was some pages and a community
The CLs and Liasons, they helped us in that respect
But you wouldn't take any part
You pierced your own members' hearts
And we don't want to stay to take all the suffering
We gave you a second chance
That hopefully you'd enhance
But you wouldn't try, and now you're just another place.
We tried so hard to keep our pages in GeoCities
We cried and screamed to have more freedom
You wouldn't give us any respect
And I feel there's nothing left
It's hubris now if you try to save yourself
I don't think we're ever comin' back
It's never good to be where freedom lacks
So we're letting go and never seeing you again
We may go back one day
But we will be cryin' at your grave.
Why is my background dark?
It's the Geo Watermark
That logo that you see
Claims ownership of me
They own me
I
A free-working, unpaid GeoSlave
The Geos to whom I gave
Imply they own the content of my site
And I don't think that's right
My site under the gun
I'm writing on the run
With the GeoCavalry
All chasing after me
With an error in its place
My page will they replace
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Censored
Fire
Burn 'em down, burn 'em down to the ground
No critics to be found
At the doors of all servers Geos pound
Color my site blackened
Blackened
Violation (Violation)
Mutilation (Mutilation)
Desecration (Desecration)
Futile fights
Termination (Termination)
Cancellation (Cancellation)
Revocation (Revocation)
Cut the lights
Fear & loathing, Geo's back
Hear 'em threaten, hear 'em lie
See your website put to death
See your hard work die...
Threatening to sue
Now they're after you
Your Web host scared and cowed
You're GeoCensored now
One more deleted page
Throws me into a rage
TheGlobe and Xoom are not their home
Can't they stick to their own?!?
Censors!
Fire
From the page-nuking Geo Gestapo
How the hell can we stop 'em
Goddamned page-nuking Geo Gestapo
Fire
May your waterstain burn up in hell
Only time will tell
If Geo's sell-outs will be their death-knell
Color my page blackened
Blackened
I could've hitched a plane ride
But GeoNazis went to hide
I tried to make an escape
In a Mustang without a cape
They caught me by full suprise
There was evil in their eyes
But I hurt them all
And made my freedom run.
The Nazis had branding sticks
Watermarks and their brutal kicks
Yet I outsmarted the soldiers
I made it when much older.
Well I finally got here
Made it to Xoom
Where's safety's near.
I knew I finally made it
When I saw Xoom's open door
Was it yet another netsplit?
No -- torture nothing more.
Ad-free zones waiting for me
Freedom rings in every place
Nightmares gone, and friendliness all in my face.
Did I actually get home?
Do I have free space to roam?
The open door said "yay"
There was nothing more to pay.
I finally escaped
With relief in sight
I'm no more taped.
GeoCities, you made our pages dirty
Filled with ads and that ain't one bit p'erty
We pay big bosses, they keep their losses
It looks like all they are are money hogging men.
While Websurfing, on GeoPages
There's no free speech -- and that sends my mind insane
GeoCities, you forced an ugly logo (ugly logo)
I wouldn't use it even on a pogo (even on a pogo)
Michael Stevens, feels that we're even
He fights the 'mark with nail and tooth.
While Websurfing, on GeoPages
There's no free speech -- and that sends my mind insane
Maybe Geo never actually cared
Not well our sites at Geo would've fared
So we've moved, oh to Xoom
A better life is waiting there for you and me.
GeoCities, you've got an ugly logo (ugly logo)
GeoCities, you've got an ugly logo (ugly logo)
GeoCities, you've got an ugly logo (ugly logo)
GeoCities, you've got an ugly logo (ugly logo)
Mark Loundy's his so-called name
He thinks he got some fame.
But he's a sworn Nazi
Evil's his epitomy
The denizens he defame.
So he's bad, bad, GeoMark
The Socialist in this whole damn park
More evil than Hanoi Jane
He seems to be insane.
Ol' Marky was a censor
He controlled the Adforums
But one little word
And you're in the herd
You can't get a piece of gum.
The Nazi had a revolver
Full of some wasteful rules
If he don't like your way
He make you pay
By working with the mules.
So he's bad, bad, GeoMark
The Socialist in this whole damn park
More evil than Hanoi Jane
He seems to be insane.
He forced a dirty watermark
On about every GeoPage.
He branded us
Even though we fussed
And we were all full of rage.
We tried to tell him to stop
But he never both'red to listen
One good look
At that Cop'right Book
And he took a lot of dissin'.
So he's bad, bad, GeoMark
The Socialist in this whole damn park
More evil than Hanoi Jane
He seems to be insane.
Will denizens kick Mark out?
I've got a nice hot gun.
If he takes more loot
I'll go and shoot
'Cause blasting Mark is fun.
So he's bad, bad, GeoMark
The Socialist in this whole damn park
More evil than Hanoi Jane
He seems to be insane.
So he's bad, bad, GeoMark
The Socialist in this whole damn park
More evil than Hanoi Jane
He seems to be insane.
Yes, he's more evil than Hanoi Jane
And he seems to be insane.
David Bohnett, Communist leader heading a place of despair
Some don't care
People do fight and then they try to go away from there
A hidden lair.
All the sorrowed people
They need a place of rest
All the GeoVictims
Will thinks work for the best?
Sister Daniella, takes out a gun from the closet hidden upstairs
Hiding her warez
Santa Monica's she's heading to for a thrill
David she'll kill.
In the stark of night
She heads down in a car
Is her method right?
Will she get very far?
David Bohnett, taking the papers and taking the keys for his house
For his male spouse
A shot rings out -- he falls on the floor and dies right on the
spot
While the gun's hot.
Oh, Sister Daniella
She killed the CEO
Did she save the day?
Or did she hit a new low?
It's not a devolution
Yaah, it's cool
Our banner we have unfurled
But when you talk about surrender
Don't you know that that's what fools do
Hopefully it'll be alright
(Yes it's gonna be) alright
(Oh yeah) alright
We're tryin' to stop the watemark
Yaah, it's cool
We're fightin' 'til the end
Our chances may be stark
Yaah, we know
But our cause we defend
But when you scream out loud that "You guys suck!"
You know full well you can't affect our luck.
Hopefully it'll be alright
(Yes it's gonna be) alright
(Oh yeah) alright
You say our cause will get us nothing
Yaah, we've heard
But you don't understand
You think quitting gives us something
Yaah, we've heard
You don't affect us, little man.
But when you worship David Bohnett
We don't want you at all on it
Definitely it'll be alright
(Yes it's gonna be) alright
(Oh yeah) alright
Alright, alright...(repeat twice)
Geo, you've branded my page
Geo, you've put me in a cage
And I'm leaving off forever for good.
The greedy men didn't care
They only gave a stare
I'm not gonna take this stuff any more
The way we're treated by Al Gore.
Geo, you've branded my page
Geo, you've put me in a cage
And I'm leaving off forever for good.
There's no easy way out
But it's bad to simply pout
We must make them know before we leave
They need to have a new reprieve.
Geo, you've branded my page
Geo, you've put me in a cage
And I'm leaving off forever for good.
Geo, you've branded my page
Geo, you've put me in a cage
And I'm leaving off forever for good.
We can't work it out, we can't work it out...
They want our money
We won't give a single buck at all.
I don't think it's funny
They don't need no luck to call.
We can't work it out, we can't work it out...
We thought that the deal did not cost a single dime
It was a lie to us Geodenizens
Dealing with the Nazis is a federal crime
We have to go out and our pages we defend.
Try to see it our way
But they really don't want to see the light
But if we see it their way
We can't do that because we know we're right.
We can't work it out, we can't work it out...
I always thought that Geo was such a happy park
It was a trick and I was deceived
Maybe we should kill the CEO's loan shark
I couldn't care, free speech we need
Try to see it our way
But they really don't want to see the light
But if we see it their way
We can't do that 'cause we know we're right.
We can't work it out, we can't work it out...kill the watermark...

As peeved surfers reboot
Clusters lost mean more drive space,
So hey, is that so bad!?
Browser crash
bluescreen flash
hard drive's trashed
Browser crash
bluescreen flash
hard drive's trashed
but the memory remains
Heavy ads make modems crawl
Chip away RAM, eat it all
Windows users, they beware
One false move and, 'Right there!'
Fatty fall down and go boom
How long will this go on?
We'll milk 'em till they're gone
Dodged the bullet
Moved to Tripod
Moved to Xoom
I made a homepage
That told about me
The place was friendly
The space was free
And then they came
Intrusive ads
Not just distasteful
But downright bad
It's really been fun
But it's over now
It was great while it lasted
But it's time to move on
I guess good things must end
But a shame, so soon
How such a good thing
Is so quickly ruined
When I first signed on
No ads were shown
The only request
Was a link back home
But in a nutshell
I was quite surprised
When it turned to bull-shit
Before my eyes
And it's so hard
To keep one's cool
When browsers crash
And screens turn blue
It's really been fun
But it's over now
It was great while it lasted
Guess it's time to move on
The price of freedom
Soon takes its toll...
A frightening creature
named Greed takes control
And don't you hate it
When agendas clash
And you find your homepage
Has turned to trash
It's where most browsers stop
They've choked on a GeoPop
