200bpm, key: Am

lyrics

I've got to reboot the router coz the server's running Vista
And the client's running Linux and the handheld's running Maemo
I'm not sure how to pronounce it but I'll modify the hosts file
And I think I'm short a cable but I'll wire up a spare
And Explorer's gone all screwy since I've turned off network browsing
And the users have a problem but they won't read their instructions
And the office suite's annoying but it's blocked by anti-virus
What's the Workgroup or Domain Name? and I still can't see my share.

Well the Manager's new gizmo has the sales crew feeling nervous
There's the smell of something burning and it's prob'ly pirate CDs
And there's video surveillance but the picture's kinda grainy
And the emails with attachments and the hackers sending spam
And I need to find the WEP key to help me navigate the O:\ drive
And the users getting cranky that they can't upload their photos
Must have built up too much static so unplug it at the outlet
And the Bluetooth needs upgrading and the laptop needs more RAM.

And the satellite's stopped tracking so I'm calling up the helpdesk
And Bangalore will answer, they say the update's having problems
And the PHP's gone haywire but the Java's hanging in there
And the fax machine is jamming and the toner's getting low
And the database is deadlocked and the XSL's confusing
And the users are now screaming that the intranet is useless
And the VOIP's been reconfigured, in the meantime phones keep ringing
The IP address is static but the downloads still seem slow.

And now I'm trying to block the porn sites while I'm rendering some graphics
The LAN still has conniptions and the grammer checker's foreign
The processor's overclocking and the website needs an update
I gotta pick up all the hardware from the other side of town
And the landlines need a massage and the mobiles getting stolen
And the users are just stupid and the contractor's a nutcase
And the customers intruding; the supplier's meeting cancelled
It's not like they ever call back and the ISP is down.
