Instant Boomer Uprising - just add water - Adam Rajski - 11-25-2002
It struck me while I was driving home from work yesterday that this song would be rather nasty in the BGC universe. There are a few other possibilities for it, of course, but the immediate one I thought of was to break any limiting codes or devices on any boomers in range, turn an enemy's electronic devices against them, and so on.
The following lyrics are my own transcription, since Google has failed me. *grumble*
---
Psykosonik - "Teknojihad" - _Psykosonik_
(shoot at once)
Teknojihad
(shoot at once)
A boot into the face, the dream that fills your night
Decades later it seems George Orwell might be right
Your dead polemics have sent millions to their graves
Despite your armies still we'll never be your slaves
Chorus 1:
Goodbye
Goodbye
(shoot at once)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Chorus 2:
Teknojihad
Electronic holy war
Teknojihad
Burn the system to the core
Teknojihad
Hear the angry voice of God
Shoot at once now we unleash
Teknojihad
Servitude is in the mind of death and life
Don't be confused by the terms of left and right
Statism is statism by any name the same
Apathy is suicide and we will bear the blame
Chorus 1 x1
Chorus 2 x1
(shoot at once)
Cupid's Arrow Brother Warthog Error
Zeroboys unleash domestic terror
Jack it in and burn the data
Violence a religion they can relate to
So let them hear this
And let them feel this
Don't forget that the power always comes
From the barrel of a loaded gun
(spoken)
The battles continued into Sunday morning, with tanks and troops finally forcing students to evacuate... *gunshot* running for their lives. Blood was spilled on the streets.
By thousands and thousands year round they're being killed *machine gun firing*
Somebody's got to make some sacrifice
Somebody's got to make some sacrifice
Somebody's got to make some sacrifice
It had been a massacre.
Chorus 2 x1
(spoken)
Blood was spilled on the streets... It had been a massacre.

Another version I heard once made it rather explicit that the incident which inspired the song was the Tienemen Square massacre. The spoken bits are, to the best of my knowledge, voice samples from news broadcasts covering the massacre.

Hrm. It would appear that unregistered users can't edit their posts. Those smileys should just be read as 'colon-close-parenthesis'.

Interesting song, Adam. I'll have to find a copy somewhere to listen to.
Oh, and don't worry about the smileys. I'll fix'em for you. (At least the new release of the software here has ostensibly fixed the "random smiley" problem that hit me every once in a while.)

Okay, smileys eliminated. And while this sounds like a cool song, let me just repeat something I've said a couple of times before -- at this point, the general outline of action and the songs for the rest of the fic are all pretty much set in stone. There's really not a place to insert a new song like this, as appropriate as it might be. Still, thanks for it, and rest assured I'm going to go find a copy somewhere.

Hey, I wasn't expecting to suddenly derail your plot or anything, it just hit me that way because I've been rereading DW2.
I wish you the best of luck in tracking the song down, though - I've tried Kazaa searches for the band before, and the only thing that comes up in my experience are tracks from the Mortal Kombat soundtracks.
Yours,
