We got a little racket,
But you know the competition is killing us.
The steamrollers are talking;
We're gettin' crushed.
The stakeholders are walkin'
And now all of the shareholders are balkin'
We're giving up --
STOP IT!
That's how the hustle is,
There's an ebb and flow.
Holding on is as strategic as letting go.
It's an optical illusion
like a tropical infusion
brought to you by You Know Who
who's sponsoring this episode...
For just this one compelling reason
You should think about the valley
Oh...
When we get into selling season
It gets crazy out in Cali, bro,
yeah, they called me
Lit Rocket in my day drivin' CA-85
Still can't believe that Oracle paid for naming rights!
In the East Bay where it's no better than a homemade sign
Meanwhile they're turning the P.A.R.C. into a shrine
For this and many other reasons
You should get out of the valley.
Yeah, we can't believe
the mess you've made of your life
I guess you wait for a sign
One day, you wake up and die
and all your friends say
"She's fine!
She's just a little bit fried.
She acts like this all the time."
She cries on cue 'cause she can't
Keep her eyes off you
But she tries.
Oh she tries!
Literal rocker,
remember when the days used to fly by?
Now we just groom our pudenda 'til the time is right.
And we get high at night -- I won't lie, it just feels nice.
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to live in real life...
For this and every other reason
I should stay out of the valley.
Yeah, she can't compete
With what I've got in my mind.
But I'm sure she'll put up a fight.
And I'll give in when the light goes out
and I fall snow-blind
into the mess of code lines
and algorithms I write.
But Lintel Rktu,
I'm thinking maybe I could love you
tonight.
