Lyrics over the intro:
It's all about the pentiums baby, (over that empty bar at the beginning)
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the pentiums, baby
It's all about the pentiums, baby
It's all about the pentiums!
It's all about the pentiums!
(Yeah!!)
Verse 1:
G G G G
What y'all wanna do?
F G GG Bb \\
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
G G G G
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
F G G G Bb \\
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
(etc.)
Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don'r read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him Money for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
It's all about the Pentiums, what?
G \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
You gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
B \\
You've got white-out all over your screen
Bb \\
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
A
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
G \\\\
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
B \\\\
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
Bb\\\\ A
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet
(etc.)
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in you parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favour and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Helen Keller
(riff)
It's all about the pentiums!
(riff)
It's all about the pentiums!
(riff)
It's all about the pentiums!
(riff)
It's all about the pentiums!
(riff)
Now what y'all wanna do?
(riff)
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
(pattern 1)
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
B \\\\
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Bb \\\\
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets
A\\\\
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
G \\\\
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
B \\\\
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Bb \\\\
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique!
A \\\\
Your laptop is a month old? Well, that's great
G \\\\
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
(etc.)
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operating system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
B
Got a flat-screen monitor, 40" wide
Bb
I believe that yours says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
A G
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, alt.total-loser
B
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Bb
Where'd you get you CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
A
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
G
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
What?

Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
