A Graphic Song (It's a commie plot)
Lead: Nobody wants to try the greatest hack around
Backup: Plot a wave, plot a wave
Bass: Everybody tries it once
Lead: Those who have just want to shut it down
Backup: Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Lead: You cut some code, then compile and link,
and then you - turn on the plotter, fill the pens with ink,
Tutti: You gotta -
Plot a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world.
Lead: Not just DECgraph, 'cause it's been plotting on so long
Backup: Plot a wave, plot a wave
Bass: It's been going now for hours
Lead: They said it wouldn't plot that long
Backup: Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Lead: They'll eat their words with a forkin' VAX, just watch 'em -
they rasterize in real time - it drags ass
Tutti: You gotta -
Plot a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world.
Lead: So take a lesson from a top-notch hacker boy
Backup: Plot a wave, plot a wave
Bass: Get yourself RSX
Lead: But don't you treat it like a toy
Backup: Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Lead: So stick your plot, go ahead and whine, look fella -
we don't plot 'round here, this is real time
Tutti: You gotta -
Plot a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world.
Plot, plot, where the sun never shines
Plot a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world.
