Digital Man in a Digital House
Lyrics
Digital man in his digital t-shirt And a digital woman in a digital dress Had a digital baby of a digital gender In a digital bed in a digital maternity ward
They left through a digital doorway to a digital car To a digital neighborhood it was a digital garden
Inside the digital home Was a picture of a digital wife It was painted by hand And looked incredibly silly ?
Digital has no end I'm not even sure how it began
My ass, if you can, oh If you can, oh Digitze my ass Digitze my ass If you can, oh If you can, oh Digitize my ass
If you can, oh
