hacker man

Sung to Piano Man by Billy Joel. Because I need more sleep apparently.

It’s nine on clock on a tuesday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Theres an IT dude sitting next to me
Making love to his acks and his syns

He says, son, can you blog me a memory?
Im not really sure how it goes
But it’s smart and and a feat and I knew it complete
When I spent all day watching tubes flow

He says, son, can you blog me a memory?
But it’s smart and and a feat and I knew it complete
But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
When I spent all day watching tubes flow

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Write us a blog, youre the hacker man
Write us a blog, youre the hacker man
Write us a blog tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a memory
And you’ve got us flowin alright

Now john in the NOC is a friend of mine
He gets me my fiber for free
And he’s quick with a joke or to give you a coke
But theres someplace that he’d rather be
He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I’m sure that I could be a garbage man
If I could get out of this place

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Now bryan is a systems administrator
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin with burt whos still in support
And probably will be for life

And the secretary is practicing security
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, theyre sharing a job they call loneliness
But its better than workin alone

Write us a blog, youre the hacker man
Write us a blog, youre the hacker man
Write us a blog tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a memory
And you’ve got us flowin alright

Its a pretty good uptime for a tuesday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me that made the redundancy
to unclog the tubes for a while
And the servers, they sound like a carnival
And the keyboard smells like a jolt
And they sit in their cubes, usin my tubes
And say, man, what are you doin here?

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
