Original demo with bass and percussion added later. Over 20-some-odd years in the computer biz, I’ve met several of those anti-social urban Unabomber types. An old co-worker of mine used to call one particular guy “Basement Child”. This one’s for you.
lyrics
It's hard to believe you weren't raised by wolves
you live in society and don't know the rules
it takes a special gift to always say
exactly the wrong things in every way
but it's all right
I'd gotten used to it
that's what I thought
but then after all
there came that one last straw
broke the camel's back
let's take a walk
we need to talk
It's hard to believe you weren't abandoned at birth
must have been obvious you were destined for less
you've totally lived up to those ambitious plans
you set the bar so low... way to go
what, were you raised in a basement?
didn't they let you out of the basement?
