Int80 (of Dualcore) - Life's Work lyrics

(it's hard to grasp sometimes) (that someone can tell you your life is about to be altered, and then everything changes) (it's crazy, right?) (this one goes out to everyone who's taken something unexpected, and turned it around) (life's work) The greatest minds of our time, begin a new flight Consider them as geniuses in their own right (that's right) Intelligent, innovative, running up the score The best co-workers that anyone could ask for Walking with escorts, leaving the office Arms holding cardboard, their lives in those boxes Rewind a few hours they were pushing code to test A few minutes back they were cleaning out their desks Tony was furious, and ripping out the fixtures They pushed him out the door didn't let him get his pictures Nick was in shock, the news just hit him Eyes in a daze as he turned off his system Justin was calm 'cause he knew they'd find work And this was the bottom so it wouldn't get worse Lets out a sigh, thoughts on his mind As he logged himself out for the very last time Here we go, no telling what's next Life's up and down, never know what you'll get Be prepared when you're put to the test Gotta step up, you can stand above the rest Here we go, no telling what's next Life's up and down, never know what you'll get Never know what you'll get Gotta step up, then you stand above the rest Fast forward three months, life's no joy Both tony and justin are still unemployed Craigslist, linkedin, nothing there to offer Tired of the same old postings on monster They'd had a few interviews, nothing that would fly Employers see their resumes and say they're overqualified Nick's got a job, but he's way underpaid As a help desk tech for a help desk wage At home every day, tony's writing code Cause exploits pay, and their debt still grows "check this post", a high price quote With a backdoor wanted for an app that they wrote Justin's unsure, nick moves ahead 'cause his boss just wrote him up for browsing the web Surprised to connect to the CVS box It had been three months and they hadn't been blocked Still had to login, which ended up a task Trying all the usernames and pa**words they had Maybe they forgot to go and change one or somethin' All accounts locked out, except one of justin's Here we go, no telling what's next Life's up and down, never know what you'll get Be prepared when you're put to the test Gotta step up, you can stand above the rest Here we go, no telling what's next Life's up and down, never know what you'll get Never know what you'll get Gotta step up, then you stand above the rest Justin came around, he knew they could hack it Fired up a sniffer and they're capturing the packets Man in the middle, watching conversations And came across the ceo's banking information Cronjob set for the end of next week That would send all the money to a bank overseas The funds would be secure in an account offshore And there's no extradition laws signed by singapore Turning it around they were going there to stay With their severance pay bought tickets one way Packed their whole lives into one bag each Cause if you go to jail that's all that you need The whole flight dragged as they all felt nauseous Nervous, fatigued, can't sleep but exhausted Barely cleared customs, they all said thanks Hopped on the train went straight to the bank Just as expected they had the right amount Withdrew the balance and they closed the account Tried playing hardball my friends played tougher And i'm flying out to see them for a visit this summer
