- they got us in a heatwave
- playing in the arcade
- one too many login
- on the government line....
-
- all around the country
- they descended in a rage
- making sure we couldn't talk
- putting locks upon the cage
- but willy got a tip-off
- and he said this just won't do
- there's way too much to lose
- and there's so much more to do
-
- willy man willy
- where did you go wrong
- shoulda listened to your parents
- shoulda left the toys alone
- but hacker sees as hacker does
- you did it all the time
- you made it to the histroy books
- your life was just a crime
-
- now jimmy used a credit card
- he made up in his head
- and freddy was a gangster
- with the telephone they said
- connecting 50 people
- for a trans-atlantic fling
- the robin hoods of wires
- that was just our kind of thing
-
- we accessed information
- that was not for us to see
- and we knew the day would come
- when we'd have to pay the fee
- but none of us knew willy
- had got so far along
- no none of us knew willly
- had unearthed the secret song
-
- always such a quiet kid
- he never made a scene
- and what he did inside his room
- it seemed just like a dream
- manipulating satellites
- and turning wrongs into rights
- electronic terrorists
- the baddest gang in town
-
- willy man willy
- where did we go wrong
- shoulda listened to our parents
- shoulda spent the nights at home
- instead we hung out with a bunch
- of teenage kids who thought too much
- we never seemed to realize
- what it was we always knew
-
- he told me of a super-VAX
- he scanned in Fort George Meade
- all the defaults seemed to work
- we hacked away with speed
- nuclear ambitions
- and plans for future kings
- graphic expectations
- of the day the bell would ring
-
- this was no war game picture
- we were moving through a brain
- every room had thirteen exits
- and at least a dozen names
- a digital translation
- of everything we say
- is being stored and catalogued
- in rows of little crays!
-
- our buffers couldn't capture it
- was way too much to groc
- some sleepless nights to analyze
- before there was a KNOCK
- and willy had his printouts
- he stayed out late that night
- descrambling the evidence
- preparing for a flight
-
- the A train it ran all night
- and willy so did you
- til they holed you up
- on an uptown number two
- the smartest motherhacker
- that ever ever was
- your voice is silent now
- and your terminal is lost
-
- willy man willy
- where did it go wrong
- shoulda listened to our parents
- shoulda sung a different song
- but I got off so lucky
- and you ya had to run
- so instead of being happy
- you're 3-4-2-9-1-1
-
- i lost some bits of memory
- my thinking cap's on tight
- i'll never understand
- how you thought you'd win the fight
- when they kill the first amendment
- will the second be the first?
- what's the point of even thinking
- if your brain's about to burst?
-
- willy man willy
- where did you go wrong
- just another johnny too bad
- that the world will never know
- i wish the clock could turn around
- and run the other way
- but i've had too much to drink
- and there's nothing i can say
-
