A very cheesy parody of Red Barchetta.

My uncle has a country place | |
That no one knows about | |
It used to be a server farm | |
Before the Data Law | |
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes | |
And hop the Turbine Freight | |
To Far outside the Lockdown Web | |
Where my white-haired uncle waits | |
Jump to the ground | |
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline | |
Run like the wind | |
As excitement shivers up and down my spine | |
Down in his barn | |
My Uncle preserved for me | |
An old machine | |
For fifty odd years | |
To keep it as new has been | |
His dearest dream | |
I strip away the old debris | |
That hides a shining box | |
A brilliant red Fedora | |
From a better, vanished time | |
Ooh, fire up the willing server | |
Responding with a hum | |
Fan blowing dust out | |
I commit my weekly crime | |
Hum | |
In my ears | |
Shifting and drifting | |
Mechanical music | |
Adrenalin surge | |
Well-weathered keyboard | |
Hot plastic and grease | |
Stale co-locate air | |
Screenlight on grime | |
The blur of the bash prompt | |
Every nerve aware | |
Suddenly ahead of me, | |
Across the firewall | |
A gleaming viral port scanner | |
Starts probing down the hall | |
I spin around with compiz fusion | |
To run the deadly race | |
Go screaming through the server room | |
To run a signal trace | |
Type like the wind | |
Straining the limits of machine and man | |
Laughing out loud | |
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan. | |
With a honeypot | |
I leave the giants hacking all the way inside | |
Race back to the farm | |
To dream with my uncle at the fireside |
