How to Make Money Out of Saving the World
In spite of my nature boy, thrust in most contexts
I'm very interested in virtual reality and the idea of making the imagination explicate
Or interiorizing the exterior world
One vision that I've had of the kind of future utopia is
It opens on a world which looks like our world of 10,000 years ago
People live tribally, they are physically perfect, they're naked, they want for nothing
They appear to have no material culture whatsoever
Thеn when you shift your point of view so that you're insidе one of these people's heads
You discover that when they close their eyes, there are menus
Hanging in space in front of them
And by glancing at these menus with a certain intensity
They are able to make their way into a culture
That is entirely three dimensionally present for them, but which nowhere impinges on the world of three dimensional space
Sort of the idea that you could have the Vatican Library installed optionally when you have dental work
I don't think this is that far-fetched I mean, a lot of money is going towards this
Money can be made from this
We have to figure out, unless we're ready to, you know
Hang the rascals

[Chorus]
Then we're going to have to figure out some way to make money out of
Saving the world (Saving the world)
Saving the world (Saving the world)
Saving the world (Saving the world)
We're to have to figure out some way to make money out of
Saving the world (Saving the world)
Saving the world (Saving the world)
Saving the world (Saving the world)
And I think these entertainment technologies are the way to go
I think that what we should all be trading in
In 15 or 20 years from now, is ideas
Is ideas
And ideas should be worth more than anything
