Back in the day My parents said an hour's all the time that I could play Star Raiders Pac-Man Donkey Kong and Agent USA But if instead I programmed, well, then I could sit and stay Eyes locked upon the pixels 'til my retinas burned away I rocked Atari BASIC with more love with every line Creative and mathematic skills were finally combined I learned to count in binary by the time that I was nine The games I wrote weren't Galaga, but dammit they were MINE And I loved to spend each night Bathed in the bright blue light Of the Amdek CRT And I dreamed one day my skills Would truly pay the bills And that I could make a living doing what I loved doing for free And so flash forward to September 1993 The time had come to make it real and go for my degree I signed up for my classes in the field of double-E And took CS electives, got an A++ in C Snatched up right after college to begin my new career My parents were so proud of their new software engineer My first job with no hair net and my future looked so clear I got four Dilbert calendars at Christmas time that year And now I spend my days Bathed in the dullish haze From my big Dell LCD And with each morning's light I close my eyes and fight To convince myself that this is how I wanted life to be Wake up and work go home make dinner put the kid to bed Tim, don’t be sad, I know it’s been a minute Since VH-1 premiered the Pac-Man clip it’s true, they didn’t Show the part they said they would where you performed a song The point is that your art is great, and it does not belong On the cutting room floor You agree, I’m guessing Your family is amazing and your day job is a blessing And the albums that you make are classics every one I own a lot of awesome work I found up on the FuMP But Rochester is freezing and now Water Street is closed We’re only getting older, Lake Ontario is cold! You’ve always got your music and you’ve always got your team Of Ian, Devo Spice, Luke Ski and Dr. D And lots of hardcore fans and friends who all adore The way you strike a balance, and when you close the door To make the songs that tell the truth with humor, pain, and passion Never quit creating, man, that’s really all I’m asking Wake up and work go home make dinner put the kid to bed
