    0. Lyrics to song

    Chet Atkins Gretsch with Vox looper on distortion; Vox crunch with Slash octave fuzz on full bass.
    Ibanez 1982 MC150FR with DiMarzio pick-ups + Vox distortion + Onko Diablo overdrive; tambourine, back of Takamine acoustic. 

    Intro  

    1): 
    It's goin' downhill,  
    It's been goin' downhill,  
    For so long.
    Why ain't nobody askin',  
    Why ain't nobody askin',  
    What went wrong?
    Since nobody's sayin', 
    I just gotta sing this song. 

    2): 
    It's been a long time comin,'  
    But it was happenin' in front of our eyes. 
    It's been such a long time comin', 
    And it was happenin' before our eyes. 
    Gradually our mind was slippin' away, 
    No one jumped up in surprise. 

    Solo

    3): 
    Now the tables have turned,  
    And we're drownin' in binary code. 
    Tossed out ancient treasures, 
    Ain't gettin' direction from no lode. 
    Our mind's degeneratin', 
    And it's takin' us off the road. 

    4):
    Our mind's degeneratin', 
    Listen to what I say. 
    Our mind's degeneratin', 
    Listen to what I say. 
    If we don't wake up soon, 
    There's a high price we gotta pay. 

    Outro
