Gotta Keep Up

Well the pace of progress, it’s ever faster

I got cell phone camera, it’s an ipod too

I got a fifty page manual with a four slice toaster

Now I’m afraid I=ll be obsolete before my time is through

 

CH:  So I gotta keep up. I need another cup of coffee

         I blinked my eyes and the whole world changed

         Everybody=s runnin= like there=s no tomorrow

        And if I can=t keep up I=m afraid I might lose the game

 

Now it=s global competition, and we=d better be ready

It=s person to person the whole world >round

Once you=ve got access, you=re an online contender

In the land rush for the future over cyber ground

 

CH:

 

We=re goin= deeper in debt to support our lifestyle

We=ve mortgaged the whole USA

And if the foreign investors buy up all the paper

We=ll be renting the homeland back from them one day 

 

CH:

   Final, after last chorus:

   Good Lord I gotta keep up; I just can’t afford to lose this game!
