Pro Bono Techno Zone - ESTERE

Those busy, muddy knees

Those huts up in the trees

Are all becoming distant relics of the past

Those coiled skipping ropes

Serpents without a hope

Are lying forlorn and abandoned in the grass

Now, I’m no stranger

To dangerous data

But this is evidence

No jury could deny, when…

Pro bono techno zone

Has all the kids at home

Zip-locked behind their screens

Androids are in their dreams

I still remember when

Tablets were medicine

We’d dig the garden up and bury them like bones

Now in this new age

It’s hard to concentrate

On faces without buttons or an LCD

(Up, up up)

Well, I’m in favour

Of loving thy neighbour

But who can tell me that community’s in style, when…

Pro bono techno zone

Has all the kids at home

Zip-locked behind their screens

Androids are in their dreams

And up the rivers rise

Down the shadows fall

What we thought was free

Isn’t free at all

Up the rivers

Up the rivers

Up the rivers rise

Up the rivers

Up the rivers

Up, up, up, up

Up the rivers

Up the rivers

Up the rivers rise

Up the rivers

Up the rivers

Up, up, up, up

Up the rivers rise

Down the shadows fall

What we thought was free

Isn’t free at all

Up the rivers rise

Down the shadows fall

What we thought was free

Isn’t free at all

Up the rivers rise

Down the shadows fall

What we thought was free

Isn’t free at all

Up the rivers rise

Down the shadows fall

What we thought was free

Isn’t free at all

Pro bono techno zone

(Up the rivers rise, down the shadows fall)

Has all the kids at home

(What we thought was free isn’t free at all)

Zip-locked behind their screens

(Up the rivers rise, down the shadows fall)

Androids are in their dreams

(What we thought was free isn’t free at all)
