Am Thrall | of | D soft | ware |
fears the | Am sun | . |
When evening | D falls | , |
I’ll see him | Am run |
His latest | Em pro | gram |
on his new ma | D chine | . |
His face looks | Am pale |
Chorus: |
|
But once he slept nights
with a human mate.
And once his passion
could hardly wait.
That’s when it came,
and it won his mind.
And now his drives
are the floppy kind.
(Chorus)
Yes, now my love is
a computer wiz.
I have my memories ...
and he has his.
Mine are tender
that’s the way I am
While he’s content with
Six meg of RAM.
(Chorus)
His screen glows brightly
in the darkened room.
He has his back to me
to impending doom!
My hammer’s hefty;
my goal is grim:
To smash his monitor,
and then smash him!
(Chorus)
Thrall of software
fears the sun.
When evening falls,
his blood will run.
He’ll sleep forever
with his damn machine,
His face all pale
by the shattered screen.
