Pro Bono Techno Zone

Those busy, muddy knees
Those huts up in the trees
Are all becoming distant relics of the past
Those coiled skipping ropes
Serpents without a hope
Are lying forlorn and abandoned in the grass
Now, I’m no stranger
To dangerous data
But this is evidence
No jury could deny, when…
Pro bono techno zone
Has all the kids at home
Zip-locked behind their screens
Androids are in their dreams
I still remember when
Tablets were medicine
We’d dig the garden up and bury them like bones
Now in this new age
It’s hard to concentrate
On faces without buttons or an LCD
(Up, up up)
Well, I’m in favour
Of loving thy neighbour
But who can tell me that community’s in style, when…
Pro bono techno zone
Has all the kids at home
Zip-locked behind their screens
Androids are in their dreams
And up the rivers rise
Down the shadows fall
What we thought was free
Isn’t free at all
Up the rivers
Up the rivers
Up the rivers rise
Up the rivers
Up the rivers
Up, up, up, up
Up the rivers
Up the rivers
Up the rivers rise
Up the rivers
Up the rivers
Up, up, up, up
Up the rivers rise
Down the shadows fall
What we thought was free
Isn’t free at all
Up the rivers rise
Down the shadows fall
What we thought was free
Isn’t free at all
Up the rivers rise
Down the shadows fall
What we thought was free
Isn’t free at all
Up the rivers rise
Down the shadows fall
What we thought was free
Isn’t free at all
