Lyrics
Official lyrics for Wardialing.
Wardialing
Thirteen, round my mate's house, IRC chat
28k line, yeah we lived like that
Link drops, "check my page"
Selfie on server, digital age
Click in fast, curiosity hit
Directory open, full of it
"k0d3z.txt," what's that then?
He says "freephone numbers," we're in on them
No bill stress, no line cost
Four p, one p, parents lost
Free net promise, felt too real
Young minds moving on raw appeal
War-dialling, war-dialling, night stay strong
Phreak in the dark, signals run long
Ghosts in the wire, calling my name
Own the network, run that game
War-dialling, war-dialling, hear that tone
Phone line, tone line, take the throne
Linux drop, Slackware run
Kernel 2.0, just begun
Black screen text, no GUI flow
Type that line, let it go
Dial freephone, system gate
Jump that node, alternate state
K0d3z in trade, machine exchange
Corporate systems rearranged
War-dialling, war-dialling, night stay strong
Phreak in the dark, signals run long
Ghosts in the wire, calling my name
Own the network, run that game
War-dialling, war-dialling, hear that tone
Phone line, tone line, take the throne
Phones, nets, stuck in my head
Neural nets too, pre-every spread
World opens up, underground call
Pulled in deep, no walls at all
Line by line, search with hope
Searching systems, see what I scope
Tone runs through, range expands
Reading signals across the lands
War-dialling, war-dialling, night stay strong
Phreak in the dark, signals run long
Ghosts in the wire, calling my name
Own the network, run that game
War-dialling, war-dialling, hear that tone
Phone line, tone line, take the throne
Ten K dial, night set run
Wake up quick, check what's done
Modem loop, same return
Hand scan taught me how to learn
One ring, two ring, listen close
Something there, diagnose
Star, hash, break that shell
Some lines crack, some don't tell
War-dialling, war-dialling, night stay strong
Phreak in the dark, signals run long
Ghosts in the wire, calling my name
Own the network, run that game
War-dialling, war-dialling, hear that tone
Phone line, tone line, take the throne
Slink.. Slink handle, no real name
Debian roots in system game
Phone phreak life, P.H. on the front
That's what I was in that hunt
Darkcyde print, scan got seen
Underground page, coded scene
Never met them, just signal trace
But I knew my place in that space
No guilt for corp line calls
But one night I hit strange walls
Twenty calls, same home ring
Small firm setup, forwarding
Two AM, same voice tone
Getting louder through the phone
She said police might step in soon
Stress in her voice at that tune
But in my head it stayed known
"Network ours, flow through tone"
War-dialling, war-dialling, night stay strong
Phreak in the dark, signals run long
Ghosts in the wire, calling my name
Own the network, run that game
War-dialling, war-dialling, hear that tone
Phone line, tone line, take the throne
Wardialing (Fully 0wned)
