We run the gamut - freedom fighters, griefers, bandits
Hackers, spammers, phreakers gambit just how far back they can ram it
Some do damage from the pulpit claim they lead and they're the culprit
Others do it from the shadows switching handles when convenient secret treatment
Question our agenda, troll or internet defender?
Tango down, a packet sender going on a DDoS bender
Who intend to take a stand drawing lines in the sand
In them silicon wafers and them fiberoptic cables

Trace enabled pick a side - more than two no black and white
Shades of gray its more like 50 kinky gifted play the system swiftly
Moving in and out and under groups to keep it undercover
Governments then wonder how to follow em like thunder
So agents of the state coordinate attacks against their own
And other teams compete against each other trying to take the throne
Motivations differ so the victory conditions shift
Battleground: the internet - fighting with our fingertips

Hacker wars - were engaged in a bit of them hacker wars (hacker wars)
Hacker wars - conflicting over broadband and data stores (hacker wars)
Hacker wars - were engaged in a bit of them hacker wars (hacker wars)
Hacker wars - the stakes are high and its a crime just to play on the course

Old spaghetti Western good bad ugly pick your poison
And each one makes their noise in different ways so let them boys in
Every system every outlet every avenue of avarice
The mavericks of information face off with the candidates
And cameras are there to document the struggle live in person
Take a peek behind the curtain situations worse than
Anything the casuals and NPCs could dream of
'cause this team of brilliant bastards go on tearing the whole scene up
Journalists in media don't buy what they are feeding ya
Depleting ya of truth because of influential groups
They don't wanna lose their access so they don't care what the facts is
Let alone reporting pieces they don't preach nor do they practice
Let the hackers be the source of breaking news by breaking in
To every system every outlet let me say it once again
So those hackers with the badges keep their jobs and stay employed
On that hacker war perpetual deep into the void
