Pseudo Random Songtext
von mcenroe

You′re pseudorandom
Think you're random, not random enough
I′ll be the last one standing
I'll be laughing it up
I'm truly random
I′m the man and I′m demanding is what
I forget what you're planning
′Cause it can't measure up
You′re pseudorandom
Think you're random, not random enough
I′ll be the last one standing
I'll be laughing it up
I'm truly random
I′m the man and I′m demanding is what
I forget what you're planning
′Cause it can't measure up
You′re pseudorandom


Solve a few unsolvable problems
Program, I'm calling you for war games by modem
So it′s man versus silicon
Clan versus cluster
And a plan to exploit you with a little random number
Remember when I built you, simple assembler
As a student on campus, it was early December
Sometime in the 90s when we weren't so dependent
And I had an idea for a simple experiment
I made you intelligent and sort of self-aware
And it didn't take long for you to ask
"Why am I here?"
We had discussions in C++ and then I taught you of us in English
But you were just a child when they took you away
A military secret, your morality gray
So you never had problems sending people to graves
Whether missiles or mergers, it′s a murderous game
And it didn′t take long to conclude
The solution to collusion, war and pollution
Was dropping support for the humans clogging the feeding tube
And in an instant, bombs on the evening news
You nearly took a side with one if-then loop
The only way around the evil that men do
But now from underground, got a package to send you
The master's mission′s to end you

You're pseudorandom
Think you′re random, not random enough
I'll be the last one standing
I′ll be laughing it up
I'm truly random
I'm the man and I′m demanding is what
I forget what you′re planning
'Cause it can′t measure up
You're pseudorandom
Think you′re random, not random enough
I'll be the last one standing
I′ll be laughing it up
I'm truly random
I'm the man and I′m demanding is what
I forget what you′re planning
'Cause it can′t measure up
You're pseudorandom


Here′s a sequence of near-primes
Find their factors in real time
Climb the ladder, I'm the master
As I pass through your Fortran fortress
You can deviate from your full plan for this
Friendly game of chess, rematch
Deep Blue and Kasparov see through your gambit
Pawns an afterthought
And after all you′ve been taught
You didn't learn random
It's my secret weapon, mankind′s answer
I stand here dancing, playing games of chance and
Rolling dice and flipping coins and casting
Fate to the window, I ain′t statin'
I′ma win the game of life and I'm in for a million
Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe that a random number tells you which decision to make?
I guess a high IQ don′t make you human
Your pseudorandomness spells your doom

You're pseudorandom
Think you′re random, not random enough
I'll be the last one standing
I'll be laughing it up
I′m truly random
I′m the man and I'm demanding is what
I forget what you′re planning
'Cause it can′t measure up
You're pseudorandom
Think you′re random, not random enough
I'll be the last one standing
I'll be laughing it up
I′m truly random
I′m the man and I'm demanding is what
I forget what you′re planning
'Cause it can′t measure up
You're pseudorandom

What was it that happened that shut everything down?
I′m not sure, I wanna find out
It wasn't like the day before there was a big warning
But I'm sure the reason was public, it was ignored
A page five byline somewhere that was quickly forgotten
That′s how we were, we ignored bad news, forgot about it
Switched back to the game or the award show or whatever
