this earth take when her skin we puncture and bleed her crust we break, her body we rape in our search for the black
gold called oil
chorus i wonder what will be her reply will she throw lava up to the sky or will
she shudder and shake until she starts to quake from from our search for the black gold called oil.
chorus will
her tears be tsunmai’s so high that thousands of people will die will she cover the land, with waters that expand while
we burn the black gold called oil

Herbie's Song
The Computer Song
(g)jumping, turning, (d) dancing (c)spinning, falling (g) down c) the grass the mud (g) and the
rain soak (am) through your (d) nightgown. (g)i quickly run to (d) help you, (c) you pull away in (g) fear, you (c) shake
and weep, your (g) terrifed as i (am) try to draw you (d) near
chorus (g)then you look at me with (d) those sad eyes as (c) if you’ve never (g) seen the (c)
man who’s loved you all (g) your life since (am) you were (d)sweet (g)sixteen.
(g ) in the kitchen i remove your (d) wet clothes wrap you in a (c) blanket to keep you (g) warm then
we(c) sit together by the (g) fire your (am) safe and free from (d) harm i (g) remember when we (d) met as kids the (c)

(C)My love is in (G)love with a (C)computer. I don’t know (F)what I’m gonna (C)
do with her. She used to run her (F) fingers through my (C)hair. Now all she needs is software. (C)Oh my love
is in (G)love with a (C)computer.
There was a time in our house. When I was her special mickey mouse. Now she likes it quick, with
just little two clicks. Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Now I'm beginning to get scared, because she's started talking about new hardware. She gazes
lovingly as the screen flickers I dream of when she wore French knickers. Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Oh I just want to see her boobs. But she's always busy with Facebook and YouTube. Now she's talking
wire free. I think she wants to castrate me. Oh my love is in love with a computer.
We used to kiss and play all night. Now talks about gigs and megabytes I think of what used to
be as she plugs in her usb. Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Now my life's become a living hell. All talks about is Windows 7 and Excel. Zip folders and files,
she sits so long she's going to get piles. Oh my love is in love with a computer.
So I went to see my friend Fred. I said Fred, how can I get my love back to bed. With
a look that was sort of spiritual. He said, I think the only way is virtual. Oh my love is in love with a computer. I
think I'm gonna to have to shoot her.
