I found the following song (link to the $.99 download on Amazon) today. It really captures the struggle we go through, but the solution the composer presents is unfortunately not the solution, not the end of the story. I don't blame the composer. I used to think this way too.

Any thoughts on how to change the lyrics?

Moishy Online

You've got mail!

Caught in the web of the pentium spider
The sky outside grows lighter and lighter
Clicking away trancelike in a dream
Moishy online by the internet screen

Surfing the waves of America online
Chatting with temptation and wasting his time
Clicking away determined to find
At tumah.com he's losing his mind...

Get me out of here
Download my soul
I've gotta get out of here
I'm losing control
Download my soul....

And glued to his mouse he's found another site
Oh what a shame he's ruining his life
If there's nothing to be found there's always a CD
Everything he sees becomes a memory

Searching with the engines, Yetzer hara at the wheel
Trying to get up but is trapped as if by steel
Praying in his heart help me please
someone get me out set me free

And all the lights went out, the electricity had failed
But only for a moment he was finally on bail
This was his last chance the lights would go on soon
So he picked up his computer and he walked across the room
He took it to the window and let the whole thing go
Crashing in the darkness on the pavement far below...

Yes I'm out of here
Downloaded my soul
I've gotten out of here
I'm in control
Yes I am out of here
Downloaded my soul
I've gotten out of here
I'm in control

Yes I'm am out of here
Downloaded my soul...
I'm in control..
Getting out...
Downloaded my soul
I'm in control...
Download my soul...

One last thing.

Perhaps the lyrics are on target, if you see the solution the composer offers as a continuation of the struggle and the song ending without any solution. Maybe the song is just an expression of the unresolved struggle. I honestly don't think that was the composers intention, but art is always up for alternative interpretations!
