A Matrix version of "American Pie", sung by Don McLean
A long long time ago, I can still remember
How that Agent used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make that Agent laugh
And maybe, he'd be happy for awhile
But Thomas Anderson made me shiver
With every punch and kick he'd deliver
Bad news on the door step
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his murdered bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the Agent died
So....
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
"This'll be the day that we die"
Did you write the book of love
Can Persephone find affection from above?
'Cause Marovigian doesn't seem to care...
Now do you believe in free-will or fate
Or is your decision a moment too late?
And can you teach me
How to dodge those bullets in slow-mo...?
Well I know Trinity's in love with him
'Cause I saw her holding his hand again
She knew he couldn't die yet
He hadn't found his love he'd just met.
I was a lonely teenage fangirl then
But still I can remember when,
I fell on the floor and I wepted
The day the Agent died,
I started singing
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
"This'll be the day that we die"
Now for years on end we've been on our own
The Beginning has an Ending as foretold
But that's not how it should have to be
When the Kid fought sentinels and the commander died
He fought his heart out and he carried on
His avenging spirit set to defend Zion
Oh and while Agent Smith was looking down
He knew he could win but yet he frowned
The Matrix was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Smith took to the air at night
I fell off my feet at his sudden flight
I had no clue they'd both lose the fight
The day the Agent died,
I was singin'
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
"This'll be the day that we die"
Morphiuse fought for life to say the least
The sentinels left Zion in peace
The cries filled the city and caves
Peace at last, the world shall change
Link returned home and never left
Trinity died a gallant death
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the humans played a marching tune
All the people got up to dance and jest
The sentinels carried Neo to rest
The Agents were gone, their deaths now justified
The Oracle and Seraph watch Sati paint the sky
Do you recall the lovely colors made
The day the Agent died,
I started singin'
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
"This'll be the day that we die"
And there we were all in one place
A generation lost in cyberspace
With no time left to start again
So come on Niobe and Morpheius
Celebrate Zion's freedom quick
'Cause nothing lasts forever in the end...
And as I watched the Agent develope through time
My hands clenched into fists as I sobbed and cried
No angel born in the Matrix or Earth
Could stop me from the feelings I felt since birth
And as the Senitinels carried Neo into the light
The light of the sacrificial rite
I was sheilding my face and walked into the night
The day the Agent died,
I was singin',
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
"This'll be the day that we die"
I saw Persephone singing the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she slid tears down her cheeks and walked away
I walked through the rave's doors
Where I sang 'bout the Agent years before
But Marovingian said the music wouldn't play
But in Zion the children screamed
The lovers laugh and the poets dreamed
Cries of victory were spoken
But the Matrix's volume had broken
And the three men I admire most
Smith, Johnson, and even Ghost,
They were deleted to say the most,
The day the Agent died
And I was singing
Bye, bye Mr. Agent Smith guy
He beat Neo in the Matrix
But then he said goodbye
And Neo and Trinity
They kissed and they cried
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die"
