    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song on a napkin at Shari's on a break from my job in corporate computer hell. It's about the almost iconical worship of technology by people in my field (computers, geeks), and the idea that we can replace god with our own intelligence.

    Lyrics
    You can call us freaks
    but we're your new age heros
    it all comes down
    to the ones and zeros
    open your eyes, I think that you'll see
    you are exactly what we want you to be
    so go Silicon tonight
    the electrons taking flight...

    . and I'll only dream
    . of Silicon Gene
    . the way that she seemed
    . and what it would mean to be made of light
    . I won't think about you tonight

    I live for electric piracy
    it's my new religion
    high technology
    one twenty-eight bit encryption
    in just another minute I'll be bigger than god
    intelligence is supreme...
    I bow my head, and pay my tithe
    to the church of the machine

    you can lock us away but that won't stop us
    it all comes down to technological progress
    virtual light over a digital night
    the future is bright
    and we're taking flight
