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
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!
