A Song for a Computer Programmer

"It's very difficult to do
And also the people who do decide that they want to do it
I go back and forth on whether we're on to anything
Or whether we're like the biggest idiots in the world"

On the day I found you I found out
That I had missed you cause you already quit
It took a while to process and re-evaluate that I had to give a shit
If you forget about starting your revolution
You forget about saving your soul
Wish I was making strange friends in the desert
But I hope that I won't

I was there in solitude
In my 8x14 LED pit
And I was never one to finish a fight
But I had always dreamed of starting it
You said "A punk rock song won't ever change the world
But I can tell you about a couple that changed me"
And I'm so happy that the stupid bastard
That wrote most of them is finally fucking free

Well I hope you found peace writing computer programs
Hope your veins are still as clean as can be
I know it ain't my business, but this city is still killing me
And I know you said you don't like singing your old songs
You've got better ones still in your head
So from one DM to another
Let the players do the singing instead

"So I dipped this pen in arsenic, wrote a song for every president
That won't ever get shot in the face
And I wrapped these strings in plastic explosives
Head down to the courthouse
With one chord I'll level the place
Hasn't anybody learned don't ever trust a man who plays guitar
The day I rob a bank, the first day I'm not lying
To you or me about what I believe"
