2021-08-11 - a hacker sea shanty

today i was listening to darknet diaries, specifically episode 92: the pirate bay… and the shanty opening (and closing) the episode – a hacker sea shanty – made my day. have fun! :)

ohhhh, i come from the days of the pirate bay
when we would torrent and leech all day
my mom would say "ok be safe"
and then i'd hear the 56k

soon may the ISP come to bring us news of copyright scum
one day when downloading is done we'll take out leave and go

those were the days of piracy where any song and movie was free
the MP3's and MKV's, but i always kept clear of the EXEs

soon may the ISP come to bring us news of copyright scum
one day when downloading is done we'll take out leave and go

i'd load it all up on my old gateway
'till my hard drives did decay
a bright blue screen lit my display and all my haul had gone away

soon may the ISP come to bring us news of copyright scum
one day when downloading is done we'll take out leave and go
