"I'm a Vidiot" by Greg Vanderlaan

I'm a vidiot, I stay plugged in all day (A,D,E)
I'm a vidiot, All I do is play (A,D,E)
I'm a vidiot, if you don't like my game (A,D,E)
You can goto hell 'cause I'm playing again (E)

Once upon a time I used to do things
 (A,A*,E) A*=E0, A0, D2, G2, B3, e0
-but no longer- (spoken words)
I used to go out and play with other kids (A,A*,E)
-that was years ago- (spoken words)
Now I stay indoors and drool at the TV set (A,A*,E)
-that's right- (spoken words)
I can't wait for 3D,it will be the greatest yet ! (A,A*,E)

I'm a vidiot, it's the only way
I'm a vidiot, I've got that brain decay
I'm a vidiot, hey mister gimme a quarter
So I can go down to the video parlor

When Dad was a kid he was into wholesome things
-like drugs- (spoken words)
But kids today are not that spaced out kind
-well, maybe just a little- (spoken words)
We just grab a joystick in our grubby little mitts
And fiddle with the knobs till we go blind

I'm a vidiot, everyone says I'm sick
I'm a vidiot, give me a joystick
I'm a vidiot, I'll show you my stuff
I'll make Donkey Dong look like a cream puff

Mom got me one of those plug in TV thingees
-well, FINALLY- (spoken words)
Hoping I'd stop bugging her for quarters
-NO WAY !- (spoken words)
Now that I've got 6 billion and a half cartridges
-one for every person on earth...plus three- (spoken words)
I GOTTA GET ONE MORE, 'CAUSE THEY CAME OUT WITH DONKEY KONG THE 17TH ! WHEE!

I'm a vidiot, my thumb's getting sore
I'm a vidiot, I want more, more, more
I'm a vidiot, if I play one more game
maybe I'll do the ultimate...

BREAK THE MACHINE !!!

"Global Economic Collapse" - By Greg Vanderlaan
(GENRE: Bubble Gum Pop Rock... Sung Brightly)

“The growth industry of the 90’s…
will be... Subsistence farming…
when Reagan’s rubber check bounces…
and global economic collapse…
rears its ugly head…
what will you do for food ?
CHORUS: LETS EAT RATS FOR LUNCH…

OOOh, The winter gets cold…
when the Arabs turn off the oil…
Your BMW will make a lovely planter…
growing beets in bucket seats…
open the sun roof wide…
scrounging in the city dump…
I seem to have lost my pride…
CHORUS: LET’S EAT RATS FOR LUNCH…

"Television is a mirror" - by Greg Vanderlaan 

Television is a mirror…
with a feedback loop… loop, loop…
Television is a mirror…
with a feedback loop… loop, loop…
Everyone watches and is programmed to be…
what they see… WHEE!
What is the strange attraction of Miss White?
The available caucasian…

This is what I see when I turn out the lights.
