The Lyrics
fsck (file system check) is part of Unix, and is not intended to be profane. You may interpret it as you wish. While usually pronounced eff-ess-check, for the purposes of this parody, it should be said kind of like "fisk". Ogg is ogg vorbis, an open-source music file format.Win is Windowscgi-bin is a directory where common gateway interface scripts are placed, which add functionality to a web page.OS is Operating SystemRAM is Random Access Memory, although you should already know that one.CRT is Cathode Ray Tube, or the old kind of large, bulky monitorsA G5 is a PowerPC processor made by IBM and used in some Apple computersA T3 is an internet connection at speeds up to 45MbpsThat should be all the acronyms...
Well my desktop's very messy
And I love cgi-bin
I use ogg for all my music
And don't need no stinkin' Win
I ain't got no time for codin'
Cause my RAM is all used up
While I sit around repairin'
That permission kinda stuff
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
Well if I had my choice of OS
I'd take one of Apple's cats
"Cause Windows keeps getting fatter
And is too easy to hack
And because my G5 smothers
Your ancient Pentium 3
Plus my display is 30 inches
And yours is a CRT
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
To download a new disk image
I wait for no dial tone
I just double-click on my T3
In my local network zone
I'm a nerd, but I'm still human
"Til I digitize my clone
To solve all of your tech problems
While I mod my mac with chrome
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
And I love cgi-bin
I use ogg for all my music
And don't need no stinkin' Win
I ain't got no time for codin'
Cause my RAM is all used up
While I sit around repairin'
That permission kinda stuff
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
Well if I had my choice of OS
I'd take one of Apple's cats
"Cause Windows keeps getting fatter
And is too easy to hack
And because my G5 smothers
Your ancient Pentium 3
Plus my display is 30 inches
And yours is a CRT
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
To download a new disk image
I wait for no dial tone
I just double-click on my T3
In my local network zone
I'm a nerd, but I'm still human
"Til I digitize my clone
To solve all of your tech problems
While I mod my mac with chrome
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
I'm a geek
A tech freak
And I can't help
But fsck you so
