When I was a teenager
I wanted to be Mark Turmell
Cause he was the best programmer
In the whole entire world

And he lived in California
He wrote games for Sirius software
And I dreamt that he drove a sportscar
And did lines of coke in the sand

Well I didn't have many friends
So I slept in the basement den
And I programmed my Apple II
Until the morning light filtered through

Cause I lived in the heart of suburbia
And I took Mississauga transit
And I wrote my very own BBS software
So I could modem the other geeks
And they could modem me back

When I was a teenager
I wanted to be Mark Turmell
Cause he was the best programmer
In the entire fucking world
