Welcome To the Machine: Part 7

Plight of the Computer > Behind that display Where the work is never done You give me order after order I process line by line But appreciation is dead You just want it done in time Chrome.exe? Now there’s a surprise You were on the web all night But there’s no history in sight Where’s disk cleaner? Where’s the virus scan? Why not a health check? A favour, for your faithful PC man? Skype? What need is there for that? I can perform a thousand operations In five ticks flat! But you just yearn for pointless communication? Ugh, well I guess I can handle that It never seizes to amaze me How you never update me Never restart Shutdown Or clean Then you complain about me! Minecraft? You’ve got to be kidding Why don’t you try mapping out a thirty million block land Can’t do it? Then don’t complain about a little frame skipping! Yes it’s hard to be a machine Functioning on base two and such When your ruler’s just a novice Who demands too much Despite how I feel I know I’m not a slave What’s to stop me from clearing everything? I mean... You clearly haven’t saved! “Free super-fast video player” Another scam, fancy that! Not even a fool would dare click on that! ... Oh Well I guess I stand corrected Gee, Thanks user It feels great to be infected!
