BROTHER, ARE YOU STILL ONLINE?
by Steve Barr
(Based on "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
by Gorney, Harburg)

They used to tell me
I was building a dream.
And so I followed the mob
When there was cash to blow
Nerf guns to bear
I was always there
Right on the job.
They used to tell me
I was building a team
With stock and glory ahead.
Why should I be working offline
Just working for bread?

Once I built a dot com
I made it run
Got to IPO time.
Once I built a dot com
Now it's done
Brother, are you still online?

Once I built a rack all out of Suns
Bricks and clicks online.
Once I built a web farm,
Now it's done.
Brother, are you still online?

Once in khaki pants
Gee we looked swell
Full of that supereasy funding.
Half a million bucks went faster than hell
And I wanted to keep spending!

Say don't you remember?
Our cool T-shirts.
Had one on all the time.
Why don't you remember?
That really hurts.
Say buddy, are you still online?

Once in khaki pants,
Ah, gee we looked swell
Full of even more easy funding!
Twenty million bucks went faster than hell
And I wanted to keep spending!

Oh, say don't you remember?
Those ads of mine.
They were on all the time.
Say, don't you remember?
Superbowl time.
Buddy, are you still online?
