Kathy Mar - Calm Down lyrics

The Techies have invaded they're everywhere you look And every conversation is a dull computer book They rant about a**embly 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 Words and music: Kathy Mar Copyright 1985 Kathy Mar
