Paranoia

Paranoia

»Open my E-mail, the reference is urgent:
Some evil people are after your life.
Here's this attachment with all that may help you:
Open my E-mail and learn to survive.«
»No, I'm not stupid, I won't touch your E-mail,
I know there's a virus to drive me insane:
Eating my hard disc and reading my memories,
You don't want to help me, you want to cause pain.«

Worms kill computers, there's plague and there's anthrax,
Poison and venom and nukes in the air:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
We'll bring you down when you're all unaware.

»Open my letter, they're planning to kill you!
They are everywhere and their powers do grow.
I know how to help, so I wrote you this letter,
these pages contain everything that I know.«
»No, I'm not crazy, I won't touch your letter,
it's heavy and thick of white powder inside!
Your letters contain vicious germs that cause anthrax:
All people who've opened these letters have died.«

Worms kill computers, there's plague and there's anthrax,
Poison and venom and nukes in the air:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
We'll bring you down when you're all unaware.

»Open your window, I'm down in your garden,
I just want to talk, so please hark what I say!
All on your own, you cannot flee your enemies:
Their number's increasing by night and by day.
»No, I'm not silly, I won't touch my window,
clouds of your poison gas sully the air.
Silently creeping to kill us while sleeping:
I cannot see them, but still they are there.

Worms kill computers, there's plague and there's anthrax,
Poison and venom and nukes in the air:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
We'll bring you down when you're all unaware.

»Open your door, there is me on the outside.
I just want to help you, please let me get in!
I know pretty well that your life is endangered:
Without this advise of mine, you'll never win.«
»No, I'm not foolish, I won't touch my doorknob,
you're lurking for me and there's plague on your breath!
You're roaming our country to spread foul diseases -
One confrontation will surely mean death.«

Worms kill computers, there's plague and there's anthrax,
Poison and venom and nukes in the air:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
We'll bring you down when you're all unaware.

»Open your eyes, I am here at your bedside,
Watching your sleep like a passionate friend
I know you're afraid, and I know you've got reason:
But that that I'm your helper, you must understand.«
»No, I'm not loony, I won't move my eyelids,
I don't want to see the plutonium's ray.
Power plants damaged send wild nukes a-roving:
I'll stay in my paper bag till you're away.«

Worms kill computers, there's plague and there's anthrax,
Poison and venom and nukes in the air:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
We'll bring you down when you're all unaware.

»I'm sorry, my friend, but I simply can't help you.
You're so suspicious, won't let me get near:
And yes, you were right, for I wanted to kill you.
And yes, I succeeded, you've died of your fear.«

Think of computer worms, plague and of anthrax,
of poison and venom and nukes in the night:
We need no gun and no bullet to kill you,
You'll kill yourself if we cause enough fright.
