"We rock 8bit, snake pit, can you take it?
Get this rocking in your tape deck and you'll rate it
Alphabetical shit
A lyrical hitman army armed with a mic and an Atari
Like an adrenaline shot, injected staright to the heart
Your wide of the mark
Atari's still state of the art
Like raiding the ark
We take it back to \'83
We're listening to floppy discs, not using the CD
My sequencers scrolling vertically huddling up the monitor
Three tracks compiling the track
You could call it a micromusic mission, an 8bit trip we're on
Me and gwEm will keep you rocking on
Its just that we - gwEm and I
Whatever we score high
Where as you'll get nil point like Gemini
We're keeping high
Like Sam Tramiel made it
Get this rocking in your tape deck and you\'ll rate it
I put my words together like I was on Countdown
I got consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant
I got a four letter word, and a two
They're \"We Rock\", and the conumdrum\'s \"We rock harder than you\"
Rather than you
We take it back like time team
Future generations will study my rhyme scheme
We part with a natives and colonial theme
One, one, nought, one
One, one, nought, one is my binary stream
From sound to electrical energy to sound
Round the clubs and bars like SARS and we're spreadng round
Like Mike D caught an Atari ST S.T.D. from a dodgy mic lead
At light speed we're taking the lead
In the micromusic scene
You might need to give up or take heed
\'Cos this is alphabetical shit
A lyrical hitman army armed with a mic and an Atari
We rock 8bit, snake pit, can you take it?
Get this rocking in your tape deck and you\'ll rate it
Alphabetical shit
A lyrical hitman army armed with a mic and an Atari",
"You say I don\'t do anything,
then how can I be doing everything wrong?
You say that time heals everything,
but you never said that time was on my side.
You say I don't know anything,
but I know outer space is 62 miles away.
I'm strapped in the seat and I\'m ready for launch
and all systems are go and I\'m taking off.
You say I don\'t know anything,
but I know outer space is 62 miles away. ",
"The crystals align inside the LCD
Feel the vibration of quartz
Hear the sound of electrons
Running through conductive
Tracks on the palm of your hand
Now that we have set the stage for our play
We can let the action begin
Our feelings blow out like a hurricane
To wrap you up in our gratitude
Sons of the Z80
Listen to our song
They have chosen us
And we have heard the call
No matter how far away
We will make our mind
Flying on wings of fire
We leave time behind
\'Cause we are FASTER/Than your casio watch
SMOOTHER/Than a four megahertz quartz oscillator
LOUDER/Than your alarm watch
MORE POWER/Than your power metal band
Time goes by/But we go further
Analog output/Makes us stronger
We are standing/Miles away from home
But we'll come again/To thank you",
"Cause - I\'m so shy
I try to find
a way to tell you that
I - often dream
you to be ...
Look you - inside
try to find
Can't you tell me that
you always dreamed
me to be ...
us to be in love",

太陽よ昇れ
さあ 道は長い
心して行こう
この朝焼けを 見つめるたびに
思いだそうか 光も闇も全部
岩を砕くハンマー手に
進む carving the rock
上へ下へ 右左へ
道は開けてく
この朝焼けを 見つめるたびに
思いだそうか 光も闇も全部
岩を砕くハンマー手に
進む carving the rock
上へ下へ 右左へ
道は開ける
常識を捨て 異端を行け
そして bend the circuit
上へ下へ 右左へ
道は開けてく
