| I don’t know what happened
|
| The telephone rang and I answered
|
| The man on the telephone told me my bill was past due
|
| I told the man this wasn’t even my ‘phone
|
| When over the line there came such a weird tone
|
| Now I’m speaking to you from deep down inside someone’s computer
|
| They don’t let me eat much
|
| They basically feed me on numbers
|
| I’m sorting out zip-codes and counting the cars in Beloit
|
| I’m helping young Johnny learn geometry
|
| But the devil he cares about rescuing me
|
| Though he probably knows that I’m trapped deep inside his computer
|
| I’m not alone — there’s a bunch of down here together
|
| Clean-livin' folks who were trying to get by somehow
|
| None of knows what the Sam Hill we did to deserve this
|
| Each of us heard a mysterious tone and then powww…
|
| I hate adding numbers
|
| So guess what I’m doing forever
|
| I’m running a mailing list dunning some dead-beats for Sears
|
| I’d love to play Packman or Star Wars
|
| But no, we’re too serious here — we’re all business
|
| So I’m a Yuppie forever deep down inside someone’s computer
|
| Now that I think of it, lots of my friends have gone missing
|
| Do you suppose that it got ‘em the way it got me
|
| Hard-working guys who were hard put to add on their fingers
|
| Slaving their lives away, running somebody’s PC
|
| Well I’m not gonna panic
|
| I’m carefully taking my bearings
|
| And one of these days when I’m ready I’m making my move
|
| ‘Til then keep on watching your monitor screen
|
| If you see some poor devil in blue, red and green
|
| It’s just me I’m still trapped here deep down insid
|
| e someone’s computer… puter…puter…puter…
|
| It’s just me I’m still trapped here deep down inside someone’s computer |
