Verse 1:
G G G G
What y all wanna do?
F G GG Bb
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
G G G G
Wastin time with all the chatroom yakkers?
F G G G Bb
9 to 5, chillin at Hewlett Packard?
(etc.)
Workin at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don r read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I m down with Bill Gates, I call him Money for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
It s all about the Pentiums, what?
G \\
You gotta be the dumbest newbie I ve ever seen
B
You ve got white-out all over your screen
Bb
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
A
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
G
You re usin a 286? Don t make me laugh
B
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
Bb A
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You re the biggest joke on the Internet
(etc.)
Your database is a disaster
You re waxin your modem, tryin to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you re still livin in you parents cellar
Downloadin pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favour and cap you like Old Yeller
You re just about as useless as jpegs to Helen Keller
(riff)
It s all about the pentiums!

It s all about the pentiums!
(riff)
It s all about the pentiums!

Now what y all wanna do?
(riff)
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
(pattern 1)
Wastin time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin at Hewlett Packard?
Uh, uh, loggin in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
B
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Bb
Got em all printed out on my bedsheets
A
My new computer s got the clocks, it rocks
G
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
B
You say you ve had your desktop for over a week?
Bb
Throw that junk away, man, it s an antique!
A
Your laptop is a month old? Well, that s great
G
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
(etc.)
My digital media is writeprotected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operating system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed em
While your computer s crashin , mine s multitaskin
It does all my work without me even askin
B
Got a flat-screen monitor, 40" wide
Bb
I believe that yours says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
A G
In a 32-bit world, you re a 2-bit user
You ve got your own newsgroup, *
B
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Bb
Where d you get you CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
A
Play me online? Well, you know that I ll beat you
G
If I ever meet you I ll controlaltdelete you
