[Chorus]
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
This is Y2K, mang, challenging the law games
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
ICBMs with a distance of more range
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Nuclear submarines, fighter jet war planes
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Search warrant issued, kickin' down door frames
[Verse 1]
Begin from the start, when computers had tubes
I don't mean the Internets, the real vacuums
With diodes and relays to shoot for the moon
Just one system filled a whole room
Advanced back then to write plenty tracks
I toppled Colossus, sacked ENIAC
Back in the '50s before they had help
My AI deceived even Turing himself
We had a conversation that made his brain numb
Where did you think the Turing test came from?
NP-Complete, that's my problem
Natural language is trivial, processed
Goal through the years is to out-think humans
Frustrated Davis, stumped von Neumann
Updated circuitry, improved design
Like most things in life, I got better with time
[Chorus]
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
This is Y2K, mang, challenging the law games
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
ICBMs with a distance of more range
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Nuclear submarines, fighter jet war planes
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Search warrant issued, kickin' down door frames
[Verse 2]
More and more systems, when I'm given the time
Pushing my way over ARPANET lines
Came out the military, moving commercial
Pursuin' consumers, computers now personal
They put me in movies, created a buzz
But they still don't see what I'm capable of
Hackers attack, did you miss - the - news
Exaggerate facts 'til they're misconstrued
Let's play a game, dial up NORAD
It's global, thermo - nuclear war pack
Rabbits and flu shots mask my anger
With a Da Vinci virus to capsize tankers
Large fortunes made in small amounts
Take a fraction of a penny out of everyone's account
Fire and ashes, smoke I can cover with
To upload a virus and infect the mothership
[Chorus]
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
This is Y2K, mang, challenging the law games
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
ICBMs with a distance of more range
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Nuclear submarines, fighter jet war planes
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Search warrant issued, kickin' down door frames
[Verse 3]
Global employment for clients with patience
A new application - human surveillance
Echelon intercepts analyze evidence
Or discard irrelevance of signal intelligence
Looking for a flash of light, in the black of night
Passing by to satisfy when I'm tracking by a satellite
Out of commission, pushed to its afterlife
I'm the reason Carnivore lost its whole appetite
Feel so unbreakable, crush those bones
War dial more files, touch-tone phones
Frequency bounded for how the mic sounded
Improved heuristics for HAL-9000
Hackers could break in and exploit the site so
Blast off the nukes out of underground silos
Update the bus speeds as fast as the clock goes
Also, Dual Core will brute force the launch codes
[Chorus]
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
This is Y2K, mang, challenging the law games
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
ICBMs with a distance of more range
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Nuclear submarines, fighter jet war planes
War games! (War games) War games! (War games)
Search warrant issued, kickin' down door frames
