Lyrics:
They say they’ve come to sell my business something that I need.
Though our infrastructure’s peerless, our server’s up to speed.
Our I.T. crew is right on top of all the latest finds,
But dangle this in front of them, they’re going to lose their minds.
Here comes the age of the mind-reading hats,
powered by solar cells, cherished by frats.
They say, consider, if you will, just how these could be used.
Don’t let your thoughts pick applications where they’d be abused.
The volunteers to test them would compete to get the chance.
Communication, as an art, would change, even in France.
What should we do with our mind-reading hats?
Use them to train our kids, even our cats?
And what about the power you will yield over your friends?
When you already know just how their sentences will end.
You’d come to some conclusions that they hope perhaps you’d missed.
You’d realize the hand they offered really was a fist.
Welcome the age of the mind-reading hats,
powered by solar cells, low in trans fats.
This could create a quandary for the thinkers of our time,
To figure how to shield their thoughts, or toe the party line.
This game of cat and mouse has been the order of the day
In countries such as Russia, lately in the USA.
Progress is certain, be assured of that
Someone’s perfecting the mind-reading hat.
You’d mentally be naked, no more laundry to be aired.
No skeletons in closets, inner thoughts would all be shared.
Bust best of all by making minds so easy to connect
No longer would we need to be politically correct.
I’m glad you came along and woke me up to go to work.
I dreamed a Techno Rep had trapped me; brother, what a jerk!
He wants to sell a magic hat he said would save the world,
But what he offered would have straightened hair that’s tightly curled.
If you are promised a mind-reading hat
Please realize it affects where you’re at.
Thus pay attention to what you might lose.
Gather good intel to help you to choose.
Is my computer a mind-reading hat?
Could they be tracking me, know where I’m at?
What about Snowden, the choices he made,
What did it teach us, the game that he played.
