Killing a Spammer

By: Tanuki the Raccoon-dog
Original: "Killing an Arab" (The Cure)

Standing at the screen,
Mouse held in my hand
Staring at some spam
From a far-off land;
Thinking through the keyboard
Of the spammer on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I can hear no sound

I'm alive; I am dead
I'm the stranger
Killing a spammer.

I can turn and walk away
Or I can click the mouse
Staring at the screen,
Staring at this louse.
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

I'm alive; I am dead
I'm the stranger
Killing a spammer

I feel the rounded mouse move
So fast and yet unplanned;
Staring at the screen
Staring at my hand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the screen
The dead man on the screen

I'm alive; I am dead
I'm the stranger
Killing a spammer.
