Calm Down Too — текст песни (Kathy Mar)

The filkers are attacking our beautiful Technese
Complaining `cause we talk out software anywhere we please
They`re drowning in their filkzines so they`ve got a lot of nerve
I think another music program`s just what they deserve

Chorus: Calm down, it`s only eighths and quarters
Calm down, it`s only lines and staffs
Calm down and put it in assembly
It`s not my fault I have a voice at which the world just laughs

They sit around for hours with guitars in every lap
The other filkers all applaud them even when it`s crap
With rhymes and times and little chimes and dimes for jukebox play
I`d trade a hundred filkers for a mainframe any day

The filking faction`s growing they`re in consuites through the land
And some of the fanatic ones will write them on demand
I`d rather be a renegade and program all I can
And I don`t care if they complain my programs never scan

I think I`ll make a program to write some filks for me
And sing them in a pretty voice across my new T.V.
I`ll set up in the corner of the filking in consuite
And if I do it well I`ll make all filkers obsolete

Chorus: Calm down, it`s only words and music
Calm down, it`s only notes and chords
Give up I`ll never learn to sing it
If you persist I`ll send you to your ultimate reward
I`d rather program any day than sit here being bored
I`ll never have a voice unless it`s programmed in and stored, oh no
