Selekt Few - Hacker Mentality Lyrics

It's a story of kids and some older ones
Ripping up the world just for fun
And exploration, of an academic kind
Their finding all kinds of things and expanding their mind
It's the life of the hacker, an intellectual
On a quest for more knowledge, time gets perpetual
Forgetting about the real world is how it's done
Getting absorbed inside the mighty cybertron
Just searching all night and hacking away
Trying to find something you just can't find on eBay
It's all about the quest for knowledge and education
Stand up and watch it's a new generation
You can never keep up in the land of the free
It's full of information overload, noise constantly
Everyone has their place and they all have their say
Some smart as fuck, others retarded like...

(It's) a hacker mentality, proof first talk last
If it wasn't for them we'd be living in the past
A hacker mentality not-about money and things
It's about the funny feeling you get when you're in full swing
(It's) a hacker mentality, proof first talk last
If it wasn't for them we'd be living in the past
A hacker mentality not-about money and things
It's about the funny feeling you get when you're in full swing

It's not just this century or tomorrow
Where the hacker exists refusing to follow
The path of least resistance
Making up his own rules on existence, it's persistence don't resist it
That's the reason they get through
If you persist enough, you'll learn something new
So just look into the past for reference to
Hackers that worked in the field you pursue
Technology has evolved at a super pace
Yet it's 2013, wheres my house in space?
Or my rocket pack to fly to the shops my man?
How about we teleport go check out japan?
No none of this has happened... not yet
But the only reason it can is cos the hacker got wet
Over an idea that he thought and knew he could implement
To work he went, and created a masterpiece

(It's) a hacker mentality, proof first talk last
If it wasn't for them we'd be living in the past
A hacker mentality not-about money and things
It's about the funny feeling you get when you're in full swing
(It's) a hacker mentality, proof first talk last
If it wasn't for them we'd be living in the past
A hacker mentality not-about money and things
It's about the funny feeling you get when you're in full swing
