The Alpha Complex Anthem

Join me, loyal citizens, in the singing of the Alpha Complex Anthem.

(Adapted from Extreme Paranoia by Greg Costikyan et al)

Mine eyes have seen the coming of another Commie hoard,
If we somehow vanquish all of them, Hot Fun is our reward.
"Please engage the menace, citizen," I hear on my comcord.
My clone keeps marching on!

Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
My clone keeps marching on!

I fire with my laser but the hoards keep coming on,
And now suddenly there seems to be a malfunction in my gun,
So I lob a nuc'lear hand grenade, and then I turn and run.
My clone keeps marching on!

Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
My clone keeps marching on!

The Commies are all vanquished now, and that makes me real glad.
But the mission geiger counter says I took a thousand rad.
So I check with Friend Computer, and It says that's not so bad.
My clone keeps marching on!

Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
Glory, Glory, Hail Computer!
My clone keeps marching on!

Thank you, friend citizens. You may now carry on with your daycycle.
Today's tip from The Computer: Don't forget to start your day with a can of warm, fizzy, glowing Bouncy Bubble Beverage. Drink B3 - it's the mandatory thing.
