I Wrote the Code Lyrics by The Slats

Boom Patrol

2006

I wrote the code
That they used to crack the mainframe
And it was only three lines long

I don't think that I've ever seen
Poetry so sharp and clean
Since the samurai
Cut off the hands

[Chorus]
It's the marketing scheme
That curdles the cream
As the mosquitoes chew through the screen

Don't go to sleep
Because the doppelganger's coming
And they've found your name in the midden heap
See no one ever tries to live or die
It just happens some way

[Chorus]
It's the marketing scheme
That curdles the cream
As the mosquitoes chew through the screen

I wrote the code
That crashed a hundred thousand computers
And I gave it away for some...

I wrote the code
From my cubicle at my part-time job
And I don't think I did nothing wrong

'Cause I wrote the code
That they used to crack the mainframe
And nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my real name
And nobody knows my name
