MILLENNIUM PIE
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember how
Computers used to make me smile.
And I knew
if I had my chance,
That I could make electrons dance,
And maybe I'd be
happy for a while.
But January made me shiver,
it chilled me deep down in my liver,
Bad news I'd collected...
I couldn't get connected.
I can't remember back that day
When I first knew the Y2K
But something touched me anyway,
The day computers died.
So, ...Bye, bye to the next digit of Pi
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys were
sending e-mail replies
Saying this will be the day I retire
this will be the day I retire
Can you write in C plus plus?
And do you have faith
in your local bus
If the driver tells you so?
Do you believe in Compaq's goals
Can software save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to type real slow?
Well I thought that you were prepared
'Cause your memo said you
weren't impaired
Your stationery's swell
But you can go to hell
I was a lonely teenage Unix hack
With an incantation and a modem jack
but I knew
the cat had left the sack
The day computers died
I started singin'..
Bye, bye to the next digit of Pi
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys
were sending e-mail replies
Saying this will be the
day I retire this will be the day I retire
Now for 10 years we've
ignored the threat
And we haven't solved the problem yet
But that's not how it used to be
When the luddites read for the king and queen
with a light they filled with kerosene
And so |
