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 and 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
