Calm Down — текст песни (Kathy Mar)

The Techies have invaded they`re everywhere you look
And every conversation is a dull computer book
They rant about assembly and rave of memories
I`d love to find some way to tell them I don`t speak Technese

Chorus: Calm down, it`s only ones and zeros
Calm down, it`s only bits and bytes
Calm down and speak to me in English
Please realize that I`m not one of your computerites

They stand around for hours as I`m sure you`ve seen and heard
But only other Techies understand a single word
With firmware, hardware, software, beware never turn your back
The guy you thought was liveware is another Techie hack

The Techie faction`s growing, the day may be at hand
When everyone must learn Technese by government command
I`d rather be a renegade and speak in rhyme and verse
Technese is bad for everyday their poetry is worse

I think I`ll learn to program and when I know it well
I`ll rearrange each mainframe clear from here to Hacker`s Hell
It may take me a lifetime but when I`m finally through
The damned computers all will talk like normal people do

Chorus: Calm down, it`s only ones and zeros
Calm down, it`s only bits and bytes
Calm down and speak to me in English
Unless you want to sleep alone through all your future nights
I`ve had enough and one more word will cause some awful fights
Please realize that I`m not one of your computerites, oh, no.
