Story behind the song

About "Your Minds Are Closed":
This is Act2 No8 of the musical "The Internet Opera", which runs straight on from Act 2 No 7 in which our heroine Katysails and her supporters have just about run out of energy and breath, without apparently changing or impinging on the noxious Capt. Creel. This number has them still telling Creel to leave the newsgroup, while bewailing how nice a place it was when he wasn't there.... This instrumental version up temporarily for jacksonboardjunkie people and any others who stumble in. See http://www.internetopera.netfirms.com for more.

Lyrics

[CAPT. CREEL]
YOUR MINDS ARE CLOSED  --  OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!

(CHORUS throws hands up in irritation, switch off again. )

  [PC]
YOU HAVE NOTHING WORTHWHILE TO SHOW.

  [KATYSAILS]
WHY DON'T YOU GO,
  WHY DON'T YOU GO,
JUST SAIL RIGHT AWAY,
AWAY,
  FROM OUT OF OUR LIVES?

  [LADY SAILOR]
AND SPOUT YOUR DRIVEL ELSEWHERE!
  FOR WE NEITHER KNOW,
  NOR DO WE CARE . . . 

  [PC]
 . . . WHAT A MERE POSTMAN CAN POSSIBLY SAY,

  [KATYSAILS]
FILLING YOUR CEDAR BUCKET, DAILY!

  [CAPT. CREEL]
NOT SO!

  [PC]
IT IS SO, FULL!
(CHORUS starts to come back on line to listen)

 [CAPT. CREEL]
I SEEK TO TEACH AND GUIDE THOSE FEW WHO'D CHANGE THEIR MINDSET . . . 

  [PC]
  YOU, THE CAPTAIN OF A MOORED BANANA!

  [CAPT. CREEL]
. . . SO THAT THEY TOO CAN BE MASTERS OF THEIR FATE.

  [PC]
A FAILED PHILOSOPHY YOU'RE SPOUTING, MUCH TOO LATE!

[CAPT. CREEL]
WHY IS IT YOU WILL NOT SEE?

  [LADY SAILOR]
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO?
  (TAKE YOUR CEDAR BUCKET WITH YOU. ) 

  [KATYSAILS]
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO?
UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG,
  WE HAD A GOOD TIME HERE,
  A GOOD TIME HERE,
YES, TRULY.

  [LADY SAILOR]
TRULY!

  [CAPT. CREEL]
FALSELY!!  BLINDLY!!

  [PC]
NO FIGHTING,

  [LADY SAILOR]
NO RANTING,

  [KATYSAILS]
NO STRIFE.

  [SEAHAG]
NO LIFE!

(PC glares at SEAHAG, who hides behind her computer.)

  [KATYSAILS]
FROM US KEEP CLEAR!

  [LADY SAILOR]
WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR!

  [KATYSAILS]
GO SCREW UP SOMEONE ELSE, LIKE THE CUBANS;  
  WE'VE BLOCKED OUR EARS!

  [LADY SAILOR]
TO KEEP YOU BACK,
KEEP YOU AT BAY.

  [KATYSAILS]
GO AWAY!

  [CAPT. CREEL]
I WILL STAY!

  [LADY SAILOR]
WE JUST DON'T WANT YOU 
SHOWING US THE WAY.

  [CAPT. CREEL]
LOOK YOU!  WHY WON'T YOU, CAN'T YOU, 
  USE YOUR MINDS, AND HEAR WHAT I SAY?

  [PC, KATYSAILS, LADY SAILOR]
WILL YOU GO AWAY!!!!
