I Wrote the Code

I wrote the code

That they used to crack the mainframe

And it was only three lines long

I don't think that I've ever seen

Poetry so sharp and clean

Since the samurai

Cut off the hands


[Chorus]

It's the marketing scheme

That curdles the cream

As the mosquitoes chew through the screen

Don't go to sleep

Because the doppelganger's coming

And they've found your name in the midden heap

See no one ever tries to live or die

It just happens some way


[Chorus]

It's the marketing scheme

That curdles the cream

As the mosquitoes chew through the screen

I wrote the code

That crashed a hundred thousand computers

And I gave it away for some...

I wrote the code

From my cubicle at my part-time job

And I don't think I did nothing wrong

'Cause I wrote the code

That they used to crack the mainframe

And nobody knows my name

Nobody knows my real name

And nobody knows my name
