about

The InterWeb is creating what Marshall McLuhan once dubbed a “global village,” giving rise to sex cams, “Nigerian 419 scams” and NSA snooping. Welcome to Internet City and the digital age!

lyrics

Sofía stands at the mirror
Coming hither
Camera clinging as she stretches
Her top is elastic
See through plastic
Pleasing

Internet city
Internet city

Well you could tell right away
She’d mastered every pose
Hoopey loopey earrings
And a stud in her nose
Such a naughty mami

I’m not the kind of guy
Who hangs his luck on a line
So I paid for her time
Her smile was lazy
It drove me crazy
Man she was felony fine

Internet city
Internet city

Shagari's trolling and reeling
Dirty dealing
Cyber grifter Spanish prisoner
Hums “MagaDonPay”
Sips Nescafé
Typing

Here in the third world
You gotta do what you can
Conning Disneyland
Their cash is waiting
There for the taking
It's just supply and demand

Internet city
Internet city

When the world is one
Will we want to be?
When the wires come
Will they set us free?
Packets streaming endlessly

Internet city
Internet city

Here at the NSA
Got tons of data to mine
Sometimes we cross the line
Cyber spying
Overflying
Just a sign of the times

Here in Internet city
Internet city
Internet city
Internet city

about

Eric & The Wabe Phoenix, Arizona

I started writing songs in 1969 and continued until 1987, when I got married and had kids. In 2008 I returned to music and started writing songs and collaborating with musicians across the Web, most notably Amos Clarke, Alex Klidaras, and John Tabacco. I owe a debt of gratitude to them and to the many other musicians who have kindly provided me with tracks and encouragement since then. ... more
