I've Been Hacked

Lyrics by Paul Walker, music by The Rolling Stones (Paint it Black)

Computer just froze up, 

I think that it's been hacked,

A pop-up says to call ‘em now 

and they'll turn it back.

If I pay them 90 bucks 

my virus goes away

If I don’t, the computer’s dead 

says the nice man from Bombay.


My grandson called from Holland, 

he’s been thrown in jail,

He needs some cash tonight 

so he can post his bail.

I sent the kid some cash 

but I think it was a scam

My grandson’s two, can’t talk 

and he’s not in Amsterdam.


I got an email from a Prince 

who needs my help.

Must not have gone to school

 ‘cuz he can’t really speel

He needs my savings to 

help pay his legal bills.

When he wins in court, 

he’ll send it back, he really will.  


The Duke of York or Earl

or maybe he’s a Squire,

Is my new friend and 

wants me to send a wire.

He asked for 20 bucks 

but he don’t speak so good. 

I sent 2,000 quid 'cuz  I misunderstood.


My friend emailed from Spain -- 

been roughed up by a mob. 

Needs money cuz her purse 

and phone and stuff were robbed.

Hey wait none of my friends 

can afford to fly that far,

When they go on holiday

they go by motorcar.


Hmm, hmmm hmmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmmm hmmm, hmmm…


Some hacker locked my data, 

I've been hacked

This ain't right, this ain't cool

I gotta pay someone, 

to un-encrypt my life

I wanna get my data, data, data, 

data back. Yeah


Hmm, Hmmm hmmm, hmmm...
