FREE AS CAN BE (to the tune of PART OF YOUR WORLD from Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID)

LARGO

Look at this stuff

Isn’t it leet?

Wouldn’t you think my obsession’s complete?

Wouldn’t you think I’m the man

The man who has everything?

 

Look at this cove

Electronics untold

What number of cool things can one hovel hold?

Looking around here, you’d say

Sure, he’s got everything

 

I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I’ve got bang bangs and firebombs galore 

You want hack-a-ma-jigs, I’ve got twenty!

But who cares?

Screw the trolls!

I want more!

 

I wanna see who the zombies are

I wanna see, wanna see ‘em crawlin’

Stumbling around eatin’ those, the hell do they call ‘em?

Ah, brains. 

 

Alone and online, you don’t get too far

Friends are required for D-DoSing, cracking

Surfing along the, what’s the word?

Web

 

Out where they walk, out where they run

Out where normies stand around in the sun

Wandering free, do I need to be

An average man too? 

 

What could it cost to be able to live out in the city?

What could it be, to spend the day, talking to her?

I know that the Man will reprimand

And slap his cuffs right on me

For a rampage, results in damage

I’ll run away!

 

When should I climb stairs, go above

Megagamers and their boring facade?

In the city

Hands clasped with she

Free as can be

Notes:

I came up with this while at work, and pushed it out of my head in about 20 minutes. So... I'm not exactly writing Shakespeare or Hemingway here, but I hope at least one person finds the idea as amusing as I did. I think the summary and the explanation of where it came from has a higher word count than the song.
