"Double Click"
Lyrics by Blair Byron MacLean, Peter Merz, and Mark E. Ellis
Music by Peter Merz
If these bodies are our temples
Then these temples are fully wired
Our CPU's grind on and on
Our synapses strain to fire
We've melded with technology
Our souls are cyber-equipped
A generation defined by the sound
By the sound of the double click
Chorus:
Digital disciples
Spreading techno truth
Writing and rewriting code
To shape, to reshape you
A Wi-Fi congregation waits
To read our shepherd's script
Our mice becoming sacraments
As we pray with a double click
In the beginning was the word
Now we hear "catch me on Twitter"
While cookies compile more and more
We text what we're having for dinner
Preachers shout from the blogosphere
Gospel plays cyber-based clips
As we "up" and "download" ourselves
To the sound of the double click
Chorus
Bridge:
Could this technology
Be heaven’s gift
Or a Trojan that's hiding
Hiding the devil’s curse
Will IM and YouTube
Make for a better world
Or will they run the risk of building
Building Pandora’s church
Chorus
Chorus

That the Holy Ghost’s in the machine…
