The Techies have invaded they're everywhere you look
|
And every conversation is a dull computer book
|
They rant about assembly and rave of memories
|
I'd love to find some way to tell them I don't speak Technese
|
|
Chorus: Calm down, it's only ones and zeros
|
Calm down, it's only bits and bytes
|
Calm down and speak to me in English
|
Please realize that I'm not one of your computerites
|
|
They stand around for hours as I'm sure you've seen and heard
|
But only other Techies understand a single word
|
With firmware, hardware, software, beware never turn your back
|
The guy you thought was liveware is another Techie hack
|
|
The Techie faction's growing, the day may be at hand
|
When everyone must learn Technese by government command
|
I'd rather be a renegade and speak in rhyme and verse
|
Technese is bad for everyday their poetry is worse
|
|
I think I'll learn to program and when I know it well
|
I'll rearrange each mainframe clear from here to Hacker's Hell
|
It may take me a lifetime but when I'm finally through
|
The damned computers all will talk like normal people do
|
|
Chorus: Calm down, it's only ones and zeros
|
Calm down, it's only bits and bytes
|
Calm down and speak to me in English
|
Unless you want to sleep alone through all your future nights
|
I've had enough and one more word will cause some awful fights
|
Please realize that I'm not one of your computerites, oh, no.
