[Intro]

[Verse]
Jack Tramiel stood,
where calculators,
Met chips.
[inhale]
"Computers for the masses,
not the classes!"
[Fill]
MOS came first,
with Peddle’s might.
But when Jack left,
[Short Instrumental Breather]
the suits took flight.
[Short Instrumental]

[Verse]
Jay Miner’s team long fought,
whiteboard wars.
Foam bats swung,
as Lorraine's chips formed.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Eventually,
[Short Instrumental Breather]
With Ag-nes on video,
And Denise on sound. Bob Paris-eau.
Lit the Lincoln Center so bright,
with Four-thousand 
ninety-six colors.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
That night.
 
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
At the mercy of leaking caps, we endure.
Through scene hackers, keeping it pure.
Banging copper like those that came before.
Lorraine still hums,
[Short Instrumental Breather]
through code endured.

[Instrumental Breather]

[Verse]
They slept at the office,
Ate frozen meals cold,
Then fought for parts,
As the factory stalled.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Suits demandin' miracles,
On deadlines,
"Make the A500 last!
Cut every dime!".
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Then speed bumps shook chips loose.
While market-ing, sold ghosts
To a fading
User-base.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
At the mercy of leaking caps, we endure.
Through scene hackers, keeping it pure.
Banging copper like those that came before.
Lorraine still hums,

[Instrumental Bridge]
"Are you keeping up -
with the Commodore?"
Echoed as the five-hundred shipped.
For six-ninety-nine, in.
Eighty-four.

[Instrumental Breather]

[CHorus]
Creating bedroom coders.
Making Turri-can leap.
And Deluxe Paint thrive.
As Weddington’s film would later show,
How the Toaster made
Babylon 5's
Scenes flow.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
At the mercy of leaking caps, we endure.
Through scene hackers, keeping it pure.
Banging copper like those that came before.
Lorraine still hums,
through code secured.
By ninjas in the night,
Saving what could be saved.
Lifting workstations, 
drives and hope.
Lorraine still hums
through code secured.
[Short Instrumental Breather]

[Unique Melodic Bridge]
"Steal This Way."

[Bridge]
At first a joke, became their brave.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Security gone blind,
as they smuggled out gear.
[Short Instrumental Breather]

[Verse]
Dave Haynie’s lens,
captured the last scene.
"They can’t yell at me now," he says - 
Through deafening silence,
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Echoes of humor and despair....
Linger, between the walls....
[Short Instrumental Breather]
A last visit,
To labs stood dark.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
His docu-mentary re-calls.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
A Deathbed Vigil.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
For Triple A,
[Short Instrumental Breather]

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Creditors circled
Like vultures at dusk,
Engineers watched
As dreams turned to dust.
[Short Instrumental Breather]
Paula,  Ag-nes and  Denise,
Limitations defied.
The Amiga lives

[Outro]
