[Verse 1] I grew up in the golden age, a keyboard and a dream Apple II, Commodore, man, that was the scene Tandy in the corner, joystick in my hand 8-bit magic, now I barely understand [Pre-Chorus] Load "*",8,1, now that made sense Type a few lines, and the code commenced Dial-up beeping, connecting me through To a world of BBS, where the legends grew [Chorus] I hate technology, it used to be so clean Now I’m drowning in settings, buried in the machine Twelve menus deep just to change my own display One wrong click, now my password's locked away [Verse 2] Supra 1200, screaming at the line US Robotics, baby, now we're flying fine TradeWars battles in the dead of night D&D turns under ASCII light [Pre-Chorus] Just a simple input, press return and go Now it’s sliders, checkboxes, options overflow Every app’s a puzzle, every screen's a maze Click the wrong button? Enjoy the delay [Chorus] I hate technology, it used to be so clean Now I’m drowning in settings, buried in the machine Twelve menus deep just to change my own display One wrong click, now my password's locked away [Verse 3] T-Pro BBS, the pros ran the show Guy T. Rice built the place where the diehards would go an-see art glowing, door games were tight Logging in late, staying up all night [Bridge] Now my phone needs a swipe, my car needs a patch My fridge won’t dispense till I match and attach Voice command? Oh, you misunderstood Guess I’ll restart, like a caveman would [Breakdown - Glitchy Chiptune Solo] [Chorus - Distorted & Glitchy] I hate technology, I just wanna play Plug in and power on, not update all day Where's my Start menu? Why’d they move that too? Maybe in the next patch, they'll fix my mood [Outro] One day, I’ll just speak and the work will be done No captchas, no pop-ups, no clicks—only fun Until then, I’ll just rage as I fumble around Lost in a sea of settings, slowly breaking down... [Final Outro] But Wait! There's More!! ASCII codes for the text we read, ANSI colors flashing, got the scenes we need, Old-school PETSCII, graphics in disguise, EGA, VGA, CGA, now look at those skies! SCSI drives spin, yeah, they’re so scuzzy, IRQ settings get you feeling all fuzzy, DMA transfers, moving fast and slick, Pop in that Floppy Disk, don’t miss a click! XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM on the line, Transferring files, you know it’s about time, Fidonet nodes connecting worldwide, Gopher searching, there’s no place to hide. IRC chatting in the dead of night, PASCAL coding, feels just right, COBOL, FORTRAN, languages of old, 8086 Assembly, for the bold!
