Computers Can Drive Us To Drink

Computers can absolutely drive us to drink It's programmed into their memory Just when we think things are all hunky dory It lets us down unceremoniously To frustrate us more we even lose some data Though we often hit “command/save” But wouldn't you know it this was the exception To these monsters we're truly enslaved The damn things treats us like a piece of crap I'm sure there are gremlins inside Trying to turn us into some raving maniacs Taking great delight when we cry Can't live with them, can't live without them They've got us by those short curlicues It's almost like they enjoy watching us struggle But give in to these things we refuse They can drive us to drink, a bloody caesar Every single night before bed Oh for the days before technology arrived When people ruled the world instead
