Kathy Mar Calm Down Lyrics

Calm Down Lyrics

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.
