PayPal-inspired LyricsOriginal Lyrics
Dead Flowers (1st and 2nd stanza)
Well, when you're sitting there
Wishing that you were a millionaire
Gawking at some rich folks that you don't know
Well, I hope that you see me
And my billion dollar company
'Cause you know, you'll reap what you have sown

Well, when you're sitting back
By your network computer rack
Buyin' stocks on PayPal IPO day
I'll be upstairs in my room
Eating Nutella with a spoon
And another Advil
To take this hangover away

[February 2002]
Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk-upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me
And my ragged company
'Cause you know, I could never be so alone

Well, when you're sitting back
In your rose-pink Cadillac
Makin' bets on Kentucky Derby day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl
To take this pain away

[The Rolling Stones, 1971]
Old Time Religion
We will follow Max and Peter
'Cause they're PayPal's fearless leaders
And no company is sweeter
And that's good enough for me

Give me that PayPal religion (x 3)
And that's good enough for me

We will follow Peter and Max
And we will follow David Sachs
'Cause they took us to the NASDAQ
And that's good enough for me

[2002]

We won't follow Meg, Marty, or Chuck
'Cause all the things they do - they suck
And they don't really give a fuck
And that ain't good enough for me

Spare me that eBay bullshit (x 3)
'Cause that ain't good enough for me

[2004]
O-old Odin we will follow
And in fighting we will wallow
Til we wind up in Valhalla
And that's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion (x 3)
And that's good enough for me

We will follow dear old Buddha
'Cause there is nobody cuter
(He) comes in plaster, wood, or pewter
And that's good enough for me

[Traditional / Pete Seeger et al.]
Tangled Up In Blue (3rd stanza)
I had a job in downtown LA
Working at an ISP
But I never did really feel at home
I knew it just wasn't for me
So I returned to Palo Alto
Where I's lucky 'nough to be employed
Workin' as a PayPal fraud engineer
Doin' somethin' that I really enjoyed

But all the while I was happy to be
With Angie the girl of my dreams
So even if eBay now ruins it all
I'll always know what it means
To be one of the few

To be tangled up in PayPal blue
To be workin' with Peter Chu
To be workin' on the fraud queue
To be workin' with Sougou

[February 2, 2003]
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I's lucky 'nough to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix

But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I've seen a lot of women, you know
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew

Tangled up in blue

[Bob Dylan, 1975]
