PayPal-inspired Lyrics | Original 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] |
