 Re:   MY TWO CENTS

Well, I sit at my computer, staring at the screen
Like a chloroformed iguana. My brain has got gangrene.
And while my mind is rotting, I feel like such a jerk:
I caused a disk crash wiping out my last two decade's work.
Oh, Mama, who could have foreseen
I'd be a two bit programmer on a sixteen bit machine?

I go on dates with women, and I talk of bits and bytes,
So is it any wonder that I sleep alone at nights?
To think I could be human, instead of the nerd I am!
But then again, let's face it: who really gives a damn?
Oh, Mama, it's just too obscene.
I'm a two bit programmer on a sixteen bit machine.
