Talkin' San Francisco Dot-com Kid Massacre Lyrics
Back about 1996 a bunch of kids tryin to get rich quick Headed for the San Francisco Bay the young entrepreneurs were on their way Carryin computers
Drinkin lattes
Hookin up modems
Cryin "THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THERE TELEPHONE LINES!"
Now the wall street men come on a run Sayin "we got a million dollars for anyone Who's got any kind of ideeee at all On how turn a home computer into a strip mall So that in every house that the phone line feeds We can sell all the things that no one needs
Like electronic vegetables
Virtual house pets
Bill Clinton's dirty gym shorts
George W Bush Innaugural Commemorative Beer Bongs
Ethan Daniel Davidson live bootlegs"
So the investments came in for those that could get it And the dot-com kids bought Frisco on credit But then the price of rent got too high to pay So all the native San Franciscans had to move away There were caravans of freaky people Being chased across the Bay Bridge By Range Rover driving maniacs
(toot)
OH THE HUMANITY!
Now things were goin great for a year or two Til the investors showed up and said "What'd you do With all the money that we lent you way back when cause we ain't seen a dime of our dividends" And a financial earthquake shook the town Brought all of them e-business start-ups down
There were iced mocha lattes flyin everywhere
Palm pilots exploded
Pagers went on strike for better working conditions
Twenty-five year-old ex-millionaires could no longer afford to pay ten thousand dollars a month rent for a converted ware-house apartment in the South of Market area
(toot)
OH THE HUMANITY!
Well I've traveled this world a long long way and seen many sad things along the way But the saddest one I must say was that massacre by the San Francisco Bay And the saddest thing I've ever heard was a broke, beaten voice singing these words He was singin:
"Good-bye vice-president's job at pets.com
Hello stock boy at Wal-mart Good-bye Range Rover
Hello two-tone 1976 Chevy Nova
Good-bye San Francisco Hello Oakland"
Drinkin lattes
Hookin up modems
Cryin "THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THERE TELEPHONE LINES!"
