A Modern Teenage Cyberpunk
I am the very model of a modern teenage
Cyberpunk
I rent my own apartment and
it's full of e-
lectronic
junk
I own a VAX, a 486, I've even got a PDP
I've finished Myst and Doom but I am stumped by
Wing
Commander III
I'm very well aquainted too with matters
pornographical
I have a list of image sites, both overseas and
national
So if you want to see a picture of that Anna
Nichole
Smith
I'll fire up my terminal and fetch for you a
naughty GIF
I'm totally an anarchist, the government I'd
like
to
wreck,
Though if they were to get blown up, who'd give
to
me
my welfare cheque?
In short if you need answers that
concern your
electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage
Cyberpunk
I know the ancient myths about RTM, Pengo and
Mitnick
I 'hack' into computers and I then perform a
credit
check
I scare all my non-hacker friends with tales of
cracker
theivery
and even though I'm spouting crap they'll
listen
and
believe in me
I've learned to spot a troll and I've seen
flames
about
the way I spell,
I've traced badly forged cancels and seen
napalm
poured
on AOL
I've laughed at all the newbies and their
flailing
cries of "You all Suck!"
I've been flamed by Carasso, with an anvil I
have
then
been struck
I've hung around in alt.tasteless and seen war
waged on
rec.pets.cats
I've spent my time in talk.bizarre and used
those
stupid Relay Chats
In short, if you need answers that concern your
electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage
Cyberpunk
Well postings like "MAKE.MONEY.FAST", I am now
somewhat
wary at,
I have been "Global Killfiled" by the Joel Furr
Commissariat,
When rosebud posts a lengthy rant 'bout
Microsoft
she
swears is true,
I know that she is just another short lived
kook
without a clue
When I have learnt what progress has been made
upon
the
Internet,
When I know something more than just a
smattering
of
netiquette,
In short when I can have a world-wide soapbox
on
which
I can stand
I've got no time for other things, like beer
and
trips
to Disneyland
My life outside the Internet is very very sad
you
see
I cannot get my spots to fade, my social life's
a
tragedy,
But still if you need answers that concern your
electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage
Cyberpunk.
