Hacker Sea Shanty, The
by 0xdade
Oh I come from the days of the pirate bay
When we would torrent and leech all day
My mum would say OK be safe
And then I’d hear the fifty-six K
(Chorus
Soon may the ISP come to
bring us news of copyright scum
One day when downloadin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go)
Those were the days of piracy
Where any song or movie was free
The MP3s and MKVs but I always kept clear of the EXEs
Chorus
I loaded it all up on my old gateway
till my hard drive did decay
A bright blue screen lit my display
And all my haul had gone away
Chorus
When we would torrent and leech all day
My mum would say OK be safe
And then I’d hear the fifty-six K
(Chorus
Soon may the ISP come to
bring us news of copyright scum
One day when downloadin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go)
Those were the days of piracy
Where any song or movie was free
The MP3s and MKVs but I always kept clear of the EXEs
Chorus
I loaded it all up on my old gateway
till my hard drive did decay
A bright blue screen lit my display
And all my haul had gone away
