From the album:
Times played:
The second one is "Computer Cowboy (aka Syscrusher)" which is a guy's alias. Computer Cowboy is just a front; he has a herd of perfect cows, floodlit fields, even coyotes, But late at night he goes into the city and robs computer data banks of memory systems and leaves his alias, Syscrusher, printed over the information he’s lifted. He’s a 21st-century outlaw. That’s where the big crime is going to be. It’s going to move out of Las Vegas and into computer perforations. That’s what all the talking in the background of the song at the end is. The computers are all talking to each other, reading what’s happening; perforation, protection, security, all those words. Neil Young "Neil and Me" by Scott Young 1984
