We speak in the tongues of machines

Internet protocol, driving me up the wall
(What language is this?)
HTTP, TCP/IP
(What language is this?)

We speak in the tongues of machines

They build these machines
Without thinking it through
They're filled with the means
Of translating for you
But no,
We must learn how to bleep dots and slashes
Like some kind of bimbo
Get it wrong,
And we find that the whole system crashes
And leaves us in limbo

Animated web page, superhighway road rage
(What language is this?)
W W W dot - make sense? - does not!
(What language is this?)

We speak in the tongues of machines
