All our code is open source
Hardware specs are clear
FPGAs got us started here
But ease-of-use draws near
Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby I’m your friend
Don’t fear the ASIC
We’ll make it simple
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the ASIC
La la la la la
La la la la la
Raspberry Pi and PLUTO board
Installation’s rough
Browser and command line
That should be enough
Voice to text is running now
Text to voice as well
Languages translate between
Stories we can tell
Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby I’m your friend
Don’t fear the ASIC
Just plug and play now
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby take my hand
Come on baby
(And the modem learned to speak)
Come on baby
(No central servers that we need)
Come on baby
(Took the heavy lifting off your hands)
Come on baby
(Now everyone can understand)
Forty thousand slices more
Made the barrier high
Now the chip does all the work
Radio democratized
Romeo and Juliet
Are talking cross the sea
In different languages they spoke
But now they both run free
Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby I’m your friend
Don’t fear the ASIC
We’ll bridge the distance
Don’t fear the ASIC
Baby take my hand
