sung to the tune of Cake's "Rock and Roll Lifestyle"

Well, your new powerbook is as wide as its price
How much did you pay for your optical mice?
And how much did you spend on your T-shirts from Thinkgeek?
Is it you or your "partner" who got a paycheck this week?

Now tickets to conferences, and Guarana sodas,
And operating systems that nobody's even heard of.
And how much did you pay for the newest Dreamweaver
The privilege of saying,
That you used it first

How do you afford your web design lifestyle?
How do you afford your web design lifestyle?
How do you afford your web design lifestyle?
oh, tell me.
Oh yeah,
All right,
All right
Oh yeah
All right
Oh

Your modem is cable, your connection is wireless
You use it to email your salary requirements
And how much will you fight it, if they send you word
That they'd like to hire you, and pay you one-third

And how many times have you redesigned your homepage
Maybe its time to take down your Ayn Rand Homage
Do you still subscribe to Wired or MacUser
When picking up your foodstamps do you drive your PT Cruiser?

Oh yeah,
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah,
All Right
Ho!
Oh, ho ho ho,
oh no

Slashdot, and hosting, and EFF subscriptions
Manuals, sushi and Nexium prescriptions
And how much is the balance on your credit card statements
Will they take your stock options in lieu of payment

Now,
How do you afford your web design lifestyle?
How do you afford your web design lifestyle?
How do you afford your web design lifestyle?

All right,
Oh yeah,
So good,
Oh baby

Is coding still enjoyment?
A business card ain't employment.
HTML has gone away
Did you think that Flash was here to stay?
Is your knowledge obsolete?
Do you think that you're still 733T?
Oh, yeah
Yeah, Is your knowledge obsolete?
Do you think that you're still 733T?
Is your knowledge obsolete?
Oh are you
Oh are you
Oh, yeah
Are you still 733T?
Oh
Yeah
All right
Oh
Yeah
All right!
