Lyrics
Log OFF! words and music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL) 3/25/05
(fast track-island version)
V.1
Don't spend much time in the school yard, don't get no exercise.
Don't play Sports like I used to, kind of took me by surprise.
You get all caught up on the Net, searchin' for this and that.
Minutes turn into hours, just what you staring at.
Chorus:
Well now you're checkin' out my website, and you say it just ain't right,
You tellin' me that it's not 'bad' enough.
You're knockin' all my graphics and tearing down my site,
Hey!! - if you don't like it - Log Off!!
V.2
You're playin' games, buyin' music and sellin' on Ebay
You search on Google, Amazon and Yahoo every day.
Buying music for your Ipod, sending emails to your friends.
You've already forgot what it's like to phone a friend.
Chorus:
So when you're checkin' out my website, and you say it just ain't right,
Tellin' me that it's not 'bad' enough.
You're knockin' all my ideas, and raggin' on my site,
Hey!! - if you don't like it - Log Off!!
(1x Lead solo)
V.3
Now you've got yourself a web-site, 'cos it seemed the thing to do.
Don't know why you really need one but, hey now, it's cool.
You can find some information on any subject that pops up.
But the tough part is to separate the facts from what's made up.
V.4
Your room's become a dungeon that keeps you trapped inside.
Your computer is your link to the world.
Meeting people, typing messages, to who you now call 'friends',
Have to wonder about this hi-tech world, Where does it end?
Repeat Chorus:
So when you're checkin' out my website, and you say it just ain't right,
tellin' me that it's not 'bad' enough.
You're knockin' all my ideas and raggin' on my site,
Hey!! if you don't like it - Log Off!
