Yard Worker's Lament

By gootmu+@andrew.cmu.edu
(was Money for Nothing by Dire Straits)
I want my
I want my Sparc20

(repeat)

Look at them Ccons, that's the way you do it.
You run some clusters in Hunt or Wean
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
Quota for nothin' and cash for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
Let me tell ya, you guys ain't dumb.
Maybe get a case of Carpal Tunnel's
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.

I can't even use microwave ovens
Corner Oven delivers all our food.
I gotta mix up some blender drinks quick
I gotta brew gourmet coffee, too.

That little Ccon with the glasses at the keyboard
Yeah buddy, he's my friend, too.
That little Ccon got his own Decstation
He's doin' homework while he's watching the clu

I can't even use microwave ovens.
Corner Oven delivers all our food.
I gotta mix up some blender drinks quick
I gotta brew gourmet coffee, too.

Lisa, Lisa

I shoulda learned to understand Macs
I shoulda learned how printers run
Look at that Ccon, he's gonna
Execute a user, oh man!
(Hey, that looks like fun)

Now he's back there, what's that? Sosumi noises?
He's surfing through Mosaic like a hard-core geek.
Oh, that ain't working, that's the way you do it.
Quota for nothing, and cash for free.

I can't even use microwave ovens
And you complain that service is slow
Let's have you try it, for an evening
Then you'll see that I earn my dough.

Quota for nothing, and cash for free
Quota for nothing, cash for free
Look at that, workstation!
I want my, I wnat my, I want my Sparc20
