Basic

Basic Lyrics/Arrangement by Al Oysius Thank you for listening. ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Al.Oysius ▶️ [Chorus] Our life is written in basic. The simplest lines of code. With no illegal function calls and no title screens to load. Despite the if then statements, no user functions undefined (and) even though our code's outdated we've held up over time. [Verse 1] We bought an old C64 at a yard sale That someone had left behind. the disk in the drive was hitchhiker's guide and it still loaded up just fine. That classic seventeen oh-two bathed the room in its warm glow. So mesmerized by strings of code as slowly line by line (by line) we'd go... [Pre-Chorus] Just like a for statement without a next. (whoah) We're uncomplicated lines of text. (yeah!) [Chorus] Our life is written in basic. The simplest lines of code. With no illegal function calls and no title screens to load. Despite the if then statements, no user functions undefined (and) even though our code's outdated baby we've held up over time. [Verse 2] We put an old Z64 in the closet, I thought we had left behind. The cartridge inside was corroded and fried But the ten in one loaded just fine. and as that familiar loading screen bathed the room in its warm glow. I realized we've simplified our coding so we'll know.. [Pre-Chorus] Just like a for statement without a next. (whoah) We're just uncomplicated lines of text. (yeah!) [Chorus] Our life is written in basic. The simplest lines of code. With no illegal function calls and no title screens to load. Despite the if then statements, no user functions undefined (and) even though our code's outdated baby we've held up over time. [Bridge] Line 10, Print WE'RE SO BASIC Line 20, GOTO line 10... o/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o/ [Pre-Chorus] Just like a for statement without a next. (whoah) We're just uncomplicated lines of text. (yeah!) [Chorus] Our life is written in basic. The simplest lines of code. With no illegal function calls and no title screens to load. Despite the if then statements, no user functions undefined (and) even though our code's outdated baby we've held up over time. [Chorus] Our life is written in basic. The simplest lines of code. With no illegal function calls and no title screens to load. Despite the if then statements, no user functions undefined (and) even though our code's outdated baby we've held up over time. o/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o/
