The Techies have invaded they're everywhere you look 
And every conversation is a dull computer book 
They rant about assembly and rave of memories 
I'd love to find some way to tell them I don't speak Technese 

Calm down, it's only ones and zeros 
Calm down, it's only bits and bytes 
Calm down and speak to me in English 
Please realize that I'm not one of your computerites 

They stand around for hours as I'm sure you've seen and heard 
But only other Techies understand a single word 
With firmware, hardware, software, beware never turn your back 
The guy you thought was liveware is another Techie hack 

The Techie faction's growing, the day may be at hand 
When everyone must learn Technese by government command 
I'd rather be a renegade and speak in rhyme and verse 
Technese is bad for everyday their poetry is worse 

I think I'll learn to program and when I know it well 
I'll rearrange each mainframe clear from here to Hacker's Hell 
It may take me a lifetime but when I'm finally through 
The damned computers all will talk like normal people do 

Calm down, it's only ones and zeros 
Calm down, it's only bits and bytes 
Calm down and speak to me in English 
Unless you want to sleep alone through all your future nights 
I've had enough and one more word will cause some awful fights 
Please realize that I'm not one of your computerites, oh, no.
