An original. Maybe not good enough for the Dead... but...



I'm sitting by the roadside 
with nothing to do
My modem is broken,
I got the Data-super-highway-blues...



Oh... my copyright is patent
But my patent is full of sleaze
its on a disk thats encrypted
but the gub'mints got the keys!

My desk top been buried
and my hardrive just crashed
My portable is not empowered
and my windows have been smashed.


I'm sitting by the roadside 
with nothing to do
My modem is broken,
I got the Data-super-highway-blues...


I`ve got megabytes of memories
'n I fear the chips are zapped!
My cellphone gives me cancer
and they say that its been tapped;.

The Phone-co owns the Cable-co
the Cable-co owns me
Now giving all my dollars
to a wealthy company. 


I'm sitting by the roadside 
with nothing to do
My modem is broken,
I got the Data-super-highway-blues...


The boss is in Jamaica
he emailed while he snacked
I sent him all the data
and he had a heart attack!

Now I'm rotting in a Jailcell
with search and seisure on TV
The facials been distorted
But I could see that it was ME!


Oh yes... its those Daten-Schnell-Strassen-Bahn Blues...

I'm sitting by the roadside 
with nothing to do
My modem is broken,
I got the Data-super-highway-blues...
