When computers I'd just met, didn't yet with jive;
When a computer was just a box of technology,
A box of fascination and luring like a giant mystery,

if he were alive today.
By watching how we live,
what would he say?

He who was betrayed by his very
own brother,
Accused by Potiphar of betraying
his honor.

Thrown into the...

The pilot’s in control,
The safety of the passengers

Devourer of a thousand 
demons,
Black magic are nothing to 
him,
Grandmaster Ashshashin,
Second in command...

With V.P.'s picked, the candidates
Are on the campaign trail,
Each hoping that the other's choice
Will make some voters bail.

But really, no one cares that much
If running mates seem weak.
For most of them, the limelight
Isn't something that...
