Mom's Basement (The Mt. Gox Bitcoin Blues), inspired by Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"

Here's my satirical commemoration of the implosion of Mt. Gox. I wrote a couple of verses via text this morning on the way from the gym to the office. Enjoy...

"Mom's Basement," inspired and to the tune of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"

I have Dungeons, I have Dragons
I have cookies that my mom baked
I live downstairs in her basement
Never been with a real woman...

...and even though I'm 30
I have never moved out of the house
I use my Poli Sci degree
At the comic book store

...

I use alternative currency
To pay for goods and service
Even at the corner bike shop
Where they lube my big-ass skateboard...

...but I have a major problem
I can't pay my EVR bar tab
'Cause Mt. Gox lost all my Bitcoin
So I'm really fucking broke
