Charlie Daniels' version



The devil went over to Mountain View, he was looking for some souls to steal.
He was in a bind, he needed minds and was willin' to make a deal.

When he came across some young men typin' on keyboards, makin'em smoke.
The devil plopped down on a stability ball n'said: "Boys this ain't no joke:
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a 'puter hacker, too.
"And if you dare enter my lair, I'll make billions for you.
 "Now you write pretty nice code there, boys, and for y'all I've got some news:
"I'll give you all the gold you can spend in this world, if you do what I tell you to do."
One boy said: "My name's Sergey and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take the offer you're gonna proffer, I'm the best hacker that's ever been."


Boys you link all these networks, store ev'ry place people haunt.
Later I'll extort this data, 'cuz I always get what I want.
And when you do I'll give a grandeur life and all it holds.
And when you die, I get to keep y'alls souls.


The devil opened his attache and said: "I'll start this show."
Fire flew from his fingertips as he piled Larry's desk with dough.
he pulled the contract out to sign and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons entered the room; the boys heard a whirling abyss.
When Sergey signed, the devil said: "Well you're pretty smart my boy.
"Larry, sit down on that ball right there, I'll show ya this world's my toy."


Firewall's impenetrable!, fun boys, fun!
The devil's in the house, too late to run.
Store every single click; they've consented--can't sue
they'll love the convenience, you'll love the view
 

The devil nodded his head because he knew he'd found a seat.
And he laid that attache on the floor at Sergey's feet.
"Devil said just do as I say and you'll never be in want again."
'cause I've made it clear, it's 'bout power, ya hear?...and don't worry about the sin."


And he said: "Make this your motto: Evil, do none."
The people will believe it; now here's the fun...
tell 'em it's secure, build safes in the sky
"Larry, is your product safe?"
Lie, boy, lie!
