As I surf through the site where I started my page
I take a look at my watchlist and realize there's been a change
But that's just perfect for a 'Pedian like me
You know, I shun fancy things like originality
At 4:30 in the morning I'm fightin' trolls,
Right there, out on a spree, on a Twinkle patrol, fool
And I've been fightin' and fixin' so long that
even Jimmy Wales might say my mind is gone
I'm a Grognard Extraordinaire, I'm into discipline,
Got a laptop on my lap and some software within
But if I finish all of my tasks and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 2009.
We've been spendin' most our lives
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
I've stopped vandals once or twice
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
Edit counting is my vice
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
A local boy vandalised "Weird Al" last week
We just smiled at him and we turned the other cheek
We really don't care, in fact we wish him well
'Cuz if he does it again he'll be gone for quite a spell
But I ain't never bit a newbie, they don't deserve it
A 'Pedian with a 'tude? Y'know that's unheard of
We have edit buttons and if we smell a rat
We let the admins know to quickly get them back, fool
If you come to visit better check your hearts
'Cuz censorship's been extinct forever in these parts
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just ideologically impaired
We've got Fairies, Trolls, and Arbiters,
Like a massive RPG
Yet we've still war and ECT
Just like good ol' reality
We've been spendin' most our lives
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
There's always time for fun and ice
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
Though sometimes we still have fights
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
Finishin' the entries, cleaning up the clutter
Made an FA Monday, soon we'll make another
Think you're really pesky, think you're really smart
Well we know you're a million times as weaker than we art
We're the Super 'Pedia that the EB tries to be like
On our PCs day and night, watching stars flaring up the night
So don't complain and don't be whiny
And get to work fixing all those stubs that are oh, so very tiny
We've been spendin' most our lives
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
We all know that paper bites
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
There's no bleeps or flashing lights
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
Still you'd probably think it's tight
Livin' in a Wiki Paradise
