Opening Manifesto Lyrics

Billy Idol Opening Manifesto

The future has imploded into the present.
With no nuclear war, a new battlefield is
on people's minds and souls.
Mega-corporations are the new governments;
Computer-generated info domains are the new frontiers.
And though there is better living through science and
chemistry,
We are all becoming cyborgs.
The computer is the new cool tool.
And though they say all information should be free,
It is not.
Information is power and currency in the virtual world we
inhabit,
So mistrust authority.
Cyberpunks are the true rebels;
Cyberculture is coming in under the radar of ordinary
society...
An unholy alliance of the tech world and the world of
organized dissent.
Welcome to the Cyber Corporation...
...Cyberpunks.
