Computer Games', "Mi-Sex"
Misheard Lyrics:
I'm busy with the big tick-tock to try an exit here
As the actual connects the spot
But the metric script don't care
Gotta listen to my mother
...
Looking down their tubes at bay
...
There's safety in numbers, they say
'Cause the dickheads never lie
No perfect parson's ever noticed one computer die
...
It's a suicide run till the work gets done
'Cause the metric script don't say
...
The vents will live along green
These opportune computers
...
I fix it with the D-jet dots
But grease still rules out there
Original Lyrics:
I fidget with the digit dots and cry an anxious tear
As the XU-1 connects the spot
But the matrix grid don't care
Get a message to my mother
...
Looking down their tubes at me
...
There's safety in numbers, they say
'Cause the figures never lie
No perfect persons ever noticed one computer die
...
Is it suicide run till the work gets done
'Cause the matrix grid don't say
...
Advance one level on green
These opportune commuters
...
I fidget with the digit dots
Frustration rules out there
