Ego Maniac

Parody of the classic song Maniac from the film Flashdance. based on a man I know all too well.

Just a loser sitting at home
Surfing the web on a saturday night
Looking to get laid
For the first time in his life
In the real world no one wants him at all
They all say he's crazy

Hacking rythms to the beat of his nerdy background Star
Wars music
Changing passwords
Just to pass away the lonely night
He has typed into the insanity zone
When the hacker becomes obsessed

Give him a chance and he will
Cut your website like a knife
Got a twisted gift
Used for all the wrong reasons
In all the worse ways
Stepping over the line of what's right and what's not

He's a ego maniac
Ego maniac on the internet
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before
He's a ego maniac
Ego maniac on the internet tonight
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before

On the thin blue line of criminal activity
Is a place one this young should never have seen
It's a hard, heartless place of mystery
Touch it once and you'll never want to hold it again

You work so hard putting all your time and effort in
If he sets you in his sights
He can con or steal away your password
With just a key stroke or two
It's a scary, crazy online world but there's always a chance
If his hunger is strong enough tonight

He's a cold, kinetic geek
Struggling, stretching for the peak
Never stopping with his hands on the keyboard

He's a ego maniac
Ego maniac after you
And he's hacking like he's hacked before
He's a maniac
Ego maniac after you
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before

Give him a chance and he'll cut your website like a knife
Got a twisted gift
Used for all the wrong reasons
In all the worse ways
Stepping over the line of what's right and what's not

He's a ego maniac
Ego maniac after you
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before
He's a ego maniac
Ego maniac after you
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before

Ego maniac
Ego maniac after you
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before
Ego maniac
Ego maniac after you tonight
And he's hacking like he's never hacked before
