[Dan Bull - We Are All Aaron Swartz lyrics]
This is a tribute Aaron Swartz
I'm just showing my respect
So let's have a short moment to reflect
Was it cybercrime or fighting for rights?
I admit it's a fine line
So might I present this:
A track record you might find distinguished
The highlights of which are
Quite trying to list
This bright mind extinguished
Died trying to bring this Brave
New World to life cYBER-GENESIS
Computer-literate, like-minded linguist
The lines in his script are
My kind of English
And hindsight provides quite the image
Of an activist hacktivist
Dying like he lived in the firing line of
Online rights traditionalists politicists
Quick to stick his digit's on the hit list
A lifetime in prison can
Drive minds to sickness
So why am I surprised he did this?
Fighting insurmountable odds
Handed down from the gods
Because David is a risk when
Goliath runs a business
We're all Aaron Swartz in
A manner of speaking we'll carry on his work
That still needs completing
We're all Swartz in a manner of speaking
We'll finish every mission that
Still needs completing
I'm just showing my respect
So let's have a short moment to reflect
Was it cybercrime or fighting for rights?
I admit it's a fine line
So might I present this:
A track record you might find distinguished
The highlights of which are
Quite trying to list
This bright mind extinguished
Died trying to bring this Brave
New World to life cYBER-GENESIS
Computer-literate, like-minded linguist
The lines in his script are
My kind of English
And hindsight provides quite the image
Of an activist hacktivist
Dying like he lived in the firing line of
Online rights traditionalists politicists
Quick to stick his digit's on the hit list
A lifetime in prison can
Drive minds to sickness
So why am I surprised he did this?
Fighting insurmountable odds
Handed down from the gods
Because David is a risk when
Goliath runs a business
We're all Aaron Swartz in
A manner of speaking we'll carry on his work
That still needs completing
We're all Swartz in a manner of speaking
We'll finish every mission that
Still needs completing
