He’s simple, he’s stupid, he’s the pilot

Adrift again 2000 man
You lost your maps, you lost your plans
Did you hear him yell: “Land damn it land” ?
You say you can’t, well I hope you can
I hope you can

How’s it goin’ 2000 man
Welcome back to solid ground my friend
I heard all your controls were jammed
Well it’s just nice to have you back again

But I guess they still don’t understand
And they can never understand
And they said go find 2000 man
And they said tell him we’ve got new plans
But instead I’m here to tell you, friend

I believe they want you to give in

Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?

Did you love this world
And did this world not love you
Did you love this world
And did this world not love you
Did you love this world
And did this world not love you

Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?

Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Don’t give in 2000 man

(one of my favourite post dot-com era bands: GRANDADDY, from the Album THE SOPHTWARE SLUMP (2000), what a wonderful song! The album is about some of the illusions built around technology during that period. The band lived near Silicon Valley in California).
