OK, here's my attempt at this week's assignment. Now I'm going to have to go back and do last week's just to cleanse the palette. :roll: The last two lines of verse 4 are an obvious hack, but I was stuck, and eager to be through with this assignment. This must be one of those "out-of-your-comfort-zone" assignments, eh Bob? Anyways, sans further adieu:

[V1]
People love to criticize
the times in which we exist
though the melodies are new to me
there's no reason to resist

[V2]
Inventing scary phrases
like cyberspace and on-line,
won't make the words matter,
the concepts are benign

[CHORUS]
This audiovisual madness
only happens in your mind,
It's no different with computers,
than it is when you're off-line,
write your thoughts with pen and ink,
or with electron flow,
Grace under pressure
is the only way to go.

[V3]
It's no good to fault the medium
when mankind holds the blame.
the never-ending tedium
bears witness to our game.

[V4]
Let's see what happens
with smaller, faster toys.
If they hadn't built the internet,
there'd be no GuitarNoise.

[CHORUS]
This audiovisual madness
only happens in your mind,
It's no different with computers,
than it is when you're off-line,
write your thoughts with pen and ink,
or with electron flow,
Grace under pressure's
still the only way to go.
