There are better things
To talk about
Be constructive

Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive
With your blues

Even when it's only
Warnings
Even when you're talkin'
War games

Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?

You don't live in a business world
He never goes and he never stays

We'll have goals in a liberal world
Livin' in times when I could stand it, babe

It's all over, baby's cryin'
It's all over, maybe I can see
Out of here

All over, the planet's dead
All over the planet, so let me
Out of here

All over, all over, all over, all over

Quiet down (We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence and the mark and yen and yeah, we're gonna)
Why don't you quiet down? (Kill your little souls, we're gonna kill your little souls)
Why don't you quiet down? (We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence and the pounds and pence and yeah, we're gonna)
Why don't you quiet down? (Crack your little souls, we're gonna crack your little souls)
We are the dollars and cents

Wake
From your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today
We escape
We escape.

Pack
And get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before
All hell
Breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone.
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone.

Sing
Us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's
Such a chill
Such a chill

And you can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you

And now
We are one
In everlasting peace
We hope that you choke
We hope that you choke
We hope that you choke
We hope that you choke
(That has to be the best lyric of all time.)

Muahahaha. Do not meddle with that which you cannot comprehend, foolish mortal.

Everything's in its right place
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Everything's in its right place
There are two colours in my head
What is that you try to say?

well, that's what I was getting at.

There's not. domokun

BUT ANYWAY.

HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON TEH WALL.

COULDN'T THINK OF SOMETHING TO RHYME WITH N00BS WHICH WOULDN'T BE DOWNRIGHT WEIRD.

^^^^^ 1337est song ever.

Nonono, you've all got it wrong.
It is not a particular n00bish thing, it actually dates way back to a group of hackers (or h4x0rs) working on the Back Orofice program to hack into the Microsoft databases. They invented leet, a quasi-language where letters are replaced by alternative charachters, to avoid detection by the FBI. The beauty of leet was that it was almost infintely changeable and permuteable, thus serving their purposes very well.
Anyway, soon leet began to catch on as the world of online gaming gradually began to emerge. It became fashionable in certain circles to use leet in certain circumstances, merely as a means of showing off one's nerdy prowess. However, it slowly began to slip out of fashion, and in a few years, leet was forgotten.
Then, a few years ago, an Anime webcomic emerged called Megatokyo, which once more popularised leet. Leet underwent a revival, spreading throughout many online communities. Unfortunately, leet became degraded, being coupled with AOL-style chatspeak. A lot of "n00bs" picked up on leet and misused it, leading to a lot of bad connotations.
I think that, in a certain way, leet is still a beautiul language in its purest form, although it's a great shame how it's become muddied with misuse.
Gaulia, that song isn't terribly leet, really.
An example of different degrees of leet-ness:
"I am the elite hacker"
"1 4m t3h l337 h4x0r!"

Thankyou greatly for the comprehensive history of leet. It almost makes up for my essay technique post... *nurses fingers*
