I went ahead and crashed my Windows That's not too bad but this one thing does it not do It won't boot anymore Seems like it's time to reinstall it Not that I'd mind if then once more its work it'd do But it won't boot anymore Wouldn't it be good if I could get myself a Macintosh Say goodbye ninety-five Well so much for pretending Cause this crap's never-ending And I know that I'm buying updates but I can't help it With each thing new another's failing and now It won't boot anymore Well Got an Atari It makes no problems It's running fine not like this piece of shit of mine Which won't boot anymore Wouldn't it be good if I could get myself a Be OS Say goodbye ninety-five Well so much for pretending Cause this crap's neverending It's neverending... Well It could be worse I could have data losses But still it hurts when I want to do something but now It won't boot anymore Wouldn't it be nice if I could sing myself a Rhapsody, "Goodbye Ninety-Five" Well so much for pretending Cause this crap's neverending And all this time I'll be standing Thinking the next release is going to fix this bug and mend it It won't boot anymore...
You had something to save You should have backed it up shouldn't you? Now your OS misbehaved You could be fired now couldn't you? It's now time to pay the price For not listening to advice And trying to get by using Windows 95 It used to be so easy now Until this crash reminded you Now you'll have to tell them how Those fancy gadgets blinded you It's too late to change events It's time to face the consequence For deciding to be bright and use Windows 95 Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1 Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1 Now you're standing there disc gone You'd better learn your lesson well Get a JAZ drive before long Or an OS not from hell You'll see your problems multiply If you continually decide To never say goodbye to your Windows 95 Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1 Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1
Well I boot this machine running Windows And God knows just how long it will take Though I never believed in a God yet And if I did this machine He'd forsake I had three crashes and a blue screen yesterday And since last Friday all the mail has stayed away It's life as usual but I can't help wonder why For alternatives we do not even try Instead I try to make do running Windows And yes I can, more or less, most of times I have learned to avoid many problems But I'll be damned if I'll call it alright My OP list has a length nobody knows I know that bug is there, but where I can't disclose There ain't much future without switching to NT But I've got users in Heilbronn who count on me So if you see my machine running Windows On the 'Net searching drivers or games Don't winnuke it and tell me, 'Use Linux!' Man I'd love to but I can't escape (yay-ho...) And now I fight my machine running Windows Every day, every night of the year And I miss that ten-year-old Atari Cause it never unnerved me like here I must close now, there is work left to be done And though programming used to be a lot of fun It now is tedious, that's the price I have to pay For being a programmer in 1998 (yay-yay-yay-ho...)
I'm sitting here in a boring room Where everything runs Windoze and not even Doom I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do Cause each time I try I have to reboot And each machine that crashes Makes me wonder I'm sitting here I miss the power Well there's a hundred Mips inside that tower But there's a heavy system overhead It's doing no work but swapping instead And each time that it's hanging Well I wonder I wonder how, I wonder why Everything is different and the papers fly And all that I can see Is just this stupid gadgetry I point and click, it makes a sound I think it's quite okay but then it crashes down And booting up I see The DOS beneath the gadgetry I'm not quite the one to criticize After all I'm just one of these other guys Who can't escape the Gates of Hell When all I really want is a command line shell There's animated icons And I wonder Resignation Is what I really fear Fascination Is what I want instead of gadgetry Life could be fulfilled with joy If there was a way that I could trash this toy And get a real computer Well I wonder I wonder how, I wonder why They got so big and ugly while nobody tries To give us what we need Instead of fancy gadgetry A crash an hour seems normal here But everyone accepts it due to stupid fear Of systems that don't need That never-ending gadgetry
Atari's gone across the Hades Leaving just a memory Of systems working without hard disk And multitasking within one MB Jack, why'd you take the dough and flee? All that's now left to see is the pain named NT All that's now left to see is the pain named NT We don't need no System.Ini We don't need no Registry No animations and no Wizards Hello Billy, won't you leave us be? Bill, go away and leave us be The one thing I'll never buy is the pain named NT The one thing I'll never try is the pain named NT I don't need no Sun to warm me I don't need no Mac to calm me My NeXT computer won't be a PC After all there's still a place to Be! And what I'll never feel is the pain named NT And what I'll never know is the pain named NT
