Dual Core - Beginning of The End (Lyrics)

*It's the start of the end*
*It's the beginning of the end* x4

First thing's first,
you'll be seeing a trend
start with the background, leads to the end
another youth story, it's about to unfold,
but this time, this one's closer to home
more than bad intensions and just malicious purpose,
alone and growing up, almost felt I was a burden,
you had a short fuse, here I am a short circuit,
we all have flaws, and I know nobody's perfect,
trouble from the start, it shouldn't be a shocker,
glued to computers ever since I was a toddler,
tryin to boot DOS on a blank screen then,
remember me stuffing floppies in our old IBM,
you came home from work and reacted so quick, floor covered with five and an quarter inch disks,
don't worry yet, the drives were never broken,
wait until I started with the phone line in Poland

*It's the start of the end*
*It's the beginning of the end* x4



Now I'm online, tempted by the options, but I'm a teenager with plenty other problems,
chemical inbalance, body goin through the changes,
life in the questionable mindset stages,
my friends online, they were hackin' for fun, and provided acceptance,
at home I had none
inspired programmer who noticed a draw,
viruses,
spammers,
I coded it all
Began to make a name, everybody wants a copy,
compress it, encrypt it, save it to a floppy
Slackspace swapped, there were more crazy tricks,
I was servin' up wares on a 486
Kept it all a secret, none of it pronounced,
and the ISP called and suspended our account,
couldn't give it up, had to bypass restrictions,
yes, there is a substance, but it's different from addiction

*It's the start of the end*
*It's the beginning of the end* x4
*It's not looking good, I just..I just..I just keep screwing up..What am I doing?*

My life was a wreck, almost burned to the ground,
but the case was dismissed, before the verdict was found
A new person now, look, I turned it around
So if I made a change, you can learn to be proud
You got me through highschool, it wasn't a breeze,
6 years in college and I finished my degrees
shifted to the right track, kicked it into gear,
took the skills I developed and I made it a career
average joe citizen, my record is clear
benefits and wage, pay my taxes every year
I'm sorry sorry that the gray hair will never be undone,
but at least, you can now just be happy for your son


*It's the start of the end*
*It's the beginning of the end* x4
