Dataport
I
want a dataport in the side of my head
I
want it to record everything I've ever said
I
want it to track me everywhere that I go
I
want it to inform me of the things I should know
I
want to get your message the instant that you send
I
want the flood of information coming without end
I
want to have each second of my day and night planned
I
want to transmit my lectures through the land
I
want to be findable for you to see and hear
I
want a cell phone chip mounted in my ear
I
want a more efficient way to structure my life
I
want an electronic hug from my wife
My
built-in email will get your message
My
wireless voicemail will hear your outrage
My
integrated calendar will tell me where to go
My
automated grammar checker makes my words flow
My
synthesized voice chip will do the speaking
My
digital camera will do the peeking
bridge:
E8 E8 VERSE:E4
Put
in a global tracker so I won't get lost
Install
a calculator so I'll know the cost
Make
sure there is a back door so you can peek
And
find out if my thoughts really are unique
While
you're at it put more memory inside
And
a program to take over just in case I've died
