     [I've noticed that "Sin" is one of the more popular Nails tunes
to parody, so here's my Internet-specific version:]

TIN

You gave me the USENET
You urged me to call
I gave you my .newsrc file
And my .newsrc file you polled

Now you've got me spending all my time
Reading stuff online
Even posting to alt.barney.die.die.die
Ugly .sig blocks, cross-posts, and flames flames flames

     It comes down to this
     Mail lists
     Insist
     I sign up and the E-mail pours in
     My head spins
     I begin
     Reading USENET with tin

Trekkies posting fanfics
I've waded through a load
Smutty GIFs of Traci Lords
I run 'em through UUDECODE

You would think I had time to waste
It's a real disgrace
All these messages running past my face
And if my editor won't quote then I'll have to cut and paste

     It comes down to this
     Mail lists
     Insist
     I sign up and the E-mail pours in
     My head spins
     I begin
     Reading USENET with tin
