Geo launches an attack
Performs immoral acts
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep one's site intact
Living in the spotlight, the ever-present eye
Geo critics fall and die
Those who wish to be, will be met with retaliation
Must put up with the aggravation
Unplanned vacation, by Geo's heavy hand
Living in a fisheye lens
Where any site can die
Though it has no heart to lie
You'll be seeing stars if e'er you reach to touch the sky
The Geo world to me's a cage
A prison cell of steel
Come on, let's make a deal
You'll be my bitch, I'll be your pimp, you'll make me money dear
Living in the spotlight, a target of the Beast
Our numbers now decreased
Those who still remain,
They'll be shot down like paper airplanes
Their ISPs will get some complaints
The real reason, the underlying green
A thousand Geo Censors hunt with some unfounded rage
And censor every page
exposing some reality about their Geo cage
Living in the spotlight, the ever-present eye
Geo critics fall and die
Those who think they're free, don't realize it's only in their
dreams
It's greed that drives Geo to extremes
Their real reason, the underlying green
Their real reason, the underlying green
Take me back to my Geo space
It's a safe protected place
Momma pre-approve what I see
Momma take good care of me
Shield my eyes
And every single day, each and all of them tell me
That they are my friends, my friends, they're here to help me
But all these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken
Lookin' outside from my window-sill
At an empty wall where I'll see no ill
A drab building that stands just across the street
Fifteen miles
My world seems so big and so spooky a place
But I've got Ma Geo, to hold my hand, and keep me safe
And every single day Ma Geo tells me
That she'll protect, while behind my back she sells me
Guess all these words that I hear spoken
Are promises broken
From the dark side, way down low
Satan asked for our info
It was a deal they couldn't refuse
They had nothing else to lose
Can you tell your real name to
Someone who won't backstab you
(It's all right)
As Geos watch you walk away
Hope a part of you will say,
(It's all right)
Who would have ever known she could harbor such sin
Momma Geo wonders if she'll ever be forgiven
For all these words that they have spoken
Just promises broken
GeoCities, my regrets,
Is run by stupid idiots
And various nitwits of feeble mind
They'd take a dollar for anything
Just to make themselves feel good again
They're drunk, drunk, drunk; drunk on power once again
They had nothing left to say
So they said they gave a damn
And I thanked them, grateful for the lie
They'll make their dollar from anything
Selling stuff, advertising stuff and spamming
Yeah they're drunk, drunk, drunk, thinking I owe them something
Their java advertising trash
Just makes all our computers crash
Although we may complain bitterly
The only reply that we see
Is from a propoganda factory
It says they did all of it just for me
They'll take your info and sell it off
To the highest bidder though it's against the law
Yes they're drunk drunk drunk, but they'll just get a slap
on the wrist
The neighborhoods have all gone dark
They're all signpost and watermark
The rest gave up their fights, turned out the lights
GeoCities, as far as I can tell
Is filled with porn and prison cells
Gulags where servants work without pay
They'll try to silence you anywhere
Just to look good for their IPO
Drunk, drunk, drunk on their dreams of money flow
Some pages debunk Geo lies
They crush these sites like injured flies
Threaten copyright and trademark too
Yes they're drunk drunk drunk and they say the're gonna sue
Recalling that day I joined Geo
I almost slapped myself
Couldn't wish this ill decision
On anybody else
I'd drink myself into a haze
To forget my Geo days
And ask myself, my mind so strong
How could I be so wrong?
The last horizons I can see
Are filled with threats and legalese
Speak out and they'll see you in court one day
They'd take a dollar from anybody
Sell your name 'hind the back of the FTC
Yes they're drunk, drunk, drunks picking fights, making
enemies
my true self calling
but I'm not listening
they forbid me to be me
you speak
a word of warning
someone's thinking out of turn
clouded ruses
your ideal of heaven
wouldn't pardon anything
(instrumental)
one told me
of freer places
no evils to lurk in the night
I went there knowing not
I was still in darkness
under the shadow of Their might
(instrumental (mostly))
disapprovals
they face removal
there is nothing to deny
word of freedom
of pomp and promise
one more godforsaken lie
once-great pictures
forbidden scriptures
now no more than empty frames
roses of selfness
you crushed their petals
but did you even know their names?
(instrumental)
your city dying
its children crying
are you proud of what you see
ruby river
the blood of soldiers
is this paradise to thee?
Using spiders, watch their writers, see them look over your shoulder
See their greed, See them read There's violations to be found...
(humming and instrumental)
Go away, go away, go away (repeat x4)
Send them south Shut their mouths Send them packing oh for good
now
Head to Xoom Clear the room Sue the Crosswinds critics too
Hey there honey That's not funny See it might cost us some money
If someone sees you And believes you When you say Geo's no good
(humming and instrumental)
Burn it up Burn it up Burn the mother-f**er down (repeat x2)
Turn it up Turn it up Hi heat run 'em outta town
Go away, go away, go away (repeat x4)
Unflattering revelation That's a content violation
We don't care Dont matter where We think our Guidelines still apply
Censor Sandell Censor Snicker Endless threats and endless bicker
Censor Zeman Censor Harvey Cause their thinking must me wrong
Let me see you Let me be you Let me crush you like an insect
It's your loss For WE'RE THE BOSS You are weak and we are strong
So fade away, fade away, fade away
We have cash We have lawyers But you're just a little boy here
We have size We have power Kiddo over you we tower
We can screw you We can sue you
Go away, go away, go away
GeoCities you're not wanted Get the f*ck out of my house now
'Nuff of your wrath Beat a path Go away Go away Go away
No harassing No hard-assing Get the hell away from me
Now go away Will someone save me Go away Go away Go away
We can reach We can teach Far beyond our own webservers
Make 'em nervous Cut their service Go away go away go away
They can reach They can reach Far outside their Geo lair
Oh they can censor ANYWHERE So Go Away! Go away Go away Go away
They can reach you They can teach you Go Away Go away Go away
Go away, Go away, Go away (repeat x4, fading out...)
If you join GeoCities
Your life will turn out shitty
Just please take my word for it
Because it happened to me
My big mistake, I spoke out
And shortly I got kicked out
"Afraid we must eject you,
Your thoughts are not correct."
If you join them, you'll be sorry
I implore you not to go
If you do and they treat you badly
Hate to say I told you so
I must be on a blacklist
Geo put my name there
Told everyone about me;
I can't get webspace nowhere
I try to set up elsewhere
But every-where I turn to
Says "We're not lettin YOU in!"
We've heard a lot about you
If you go there you go for ever
You're locked in never to escape
Stay far away, stay far for ever
Don't let your mind be raped
We caught somebody showing
What we don't want no one knowing
We'll squelch 'em, cover it up,
Then sue 'em so they shut up
Theres' laws they'll claim I'm breakin
But they're sadly mistaken
All they want is bacon
A chunk of what I'm makin'
(instrumental interlude)
The truth, can't let it leak out
If someone dares to speak out
Harass 'em til they freak out
And shut their goddamn traps
They must've said the X-word
That's much worse than the F-word
Let's tie 'em down to something
And tighten up the straps
People go there, to learn to fly
If you go there they'll clip your wings
I once was there, yes and now I
Know why the caged bird sings
Long as the 'mark is showing
Out the door 'steaders are flowing
Geo never quite knowing
Just where the hell they're going
All the lives they've taken
All the lies they're makin
They crush critics like insects
And surely you'll be next
A gun is raised in anguish
A chill voice speaks no language
Their life's last seconds languish
And leave them where they fall
Empty shells upon the roadside
The remnants of a suicide
Can't cope with Geo's dark side
And have to end it all
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
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
Fear & loathing, Geo's back
Hear 'em threaten, hear 'em lie
Termination (Termination)
Cancellation (Cancellation)
Revocation (Revocation)
Cut the lights
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
Popup ads on pages thrust
Another browser bites the dust
And computers stuff on another Geo ad
These twisted souls, they're mute
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 Crosswinds
Moved to Xoom
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!
Listen to your wallet
Do all your thinking for you
Listen to your wallet
That's all that matters to 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
You only listen to 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
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
It all 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
Here we are
You sprung some new shit on us, though we fight
Paying such a price for our free sites
Oh it's not real if you don't feel it
Unspoken expectations
Ideas you used to play with
They've finally taken shape for us.
[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've had enough
Chorus
Chorus
