Work Text:

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's web for me.
We torrent, we upload, we email, and rip,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We keygen and unlock and write you a script,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's web for me.
We export, we filter, we host, and crack,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Decrypt and configure, for Windows or Mac,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's web for me.
For Kindle and Nook, infringe and incite,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We hide in the servers, we're active all night,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're hackers, seeders, rooters, and phreaks,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're lurkers and leeches, troublesome geeks,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's web for me.
We're coders and kludgers, mind the hash tags,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but our peers are checking the flags,
     Sync up, me 'earties, yo ho.
