Cyberpunk
|
|
by Sherman Dorn, 1991
|
|
to the music of "Shaving Cream"
|
|
|
|
Bill Gibson was pond'ring his checkbook
|
|
and wond'ring if the balance would fit
|
|
when a hard-wired idea occurred
|
|
and he decided to write lots of --
|
|
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
|
|
|
Cyberpunk, listening to funk,
|
|
write every day and you'll look like a hunk.
|
|
|
|
Millions of authors soon sprang up
|
|
wanting to publish a hit,
|
|
claiming their work formed a movement,
|
|
and that all other sf was --
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Those authors were seeking an icon
|
|
and chose Effinger, albeit
|
|

|
|
'cause he thought it was all full of --
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Now cyberpunk's part of the landscape,
|
|
and here is the lesson, to wit:
|
|
If a genre, subgenre, or bargain
|
|
sounds too good to be true, it is --
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
