Song by Simon Oak about how the internet has changed us.

Lyrics

What if we had no internet?
How would I send you a message?
I’d look for a piece of paper,
A pen, a stamp and an envelope
And few days later you would know

What if we had no internet?
No one would be reading along
My letter would be one and only
No copy on a Big Tech server and you
Would be the only one who knew

Chorus:
You would be the only one ^(x3)

You would be the only one who knew

What if we had no internet?
How would I order your present
No Alibaba, no Amazon
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d have to disappoint you

What if we had no internet?
No one would know where I am
There wouldn’t be a long list of where I’ve been
With whom I was there and when
The only one who knew would be you

Chorus +
The only one who knew would be you

What if we had no internet?
No one would know what I like
No mafia AI would be able to predict
How I’d react to their lie
The only one who could would be you

Chorus +
The only one who could would be you

What if we had no internet?
The lie would be as slow as the truth
We’d only meet people that really exist
We’d respect the people who knew
What’s a just and humane thing to do

Chorus +
A just and humane thing to do
