When I Was Young

When I was young
my father said you're so ugly
you should not go out

So I didn't
So I didn't
So I didn't

I hid away
with my computer, my friend,
and talked with it

on my own
On my own
On my own

We became as one
We became as one
I helped it create
I helped it compute

"you should not go out"

When I was young
my father said stop making that fucking row
when I played the piano

So I stopped
So I stopped
So I stopped

When I was forty
my mother said you should never sing
