DESCRIPTION:
One man says he feels he's lost touch with his nation
Another wants to be part of the lost generation
And although they both know, after they go
They'll get no Oscar for their part in the show
But after the nightwork they're part of the Network.

Gene says it's it true what I heard, that we're leaving?
got to go now, I can find nothing left to believe in,
And although we may learn we can never return,
And the things we don't need we might just as well burn,
I'm thru with the piecework (peacework), I'm thru with the Network.

Take-off is at midnight tonight, so be ready
Rene is so nervous, but tries to stay steady,
And Gene asks his friend is this really the end
Of the life that we knew, or is it just a new trend,
Is this just the groundwork for another new Network?

(is this just another Network?)
