Lyrics:
You see, I come from a time in the nineteen-hundred-and-seventies when computers were used for two things - to either go to the moon, or play Pong... nothing in between. Y'see, you didn't need a fancy operating system to play Pong, and the men who went to the moon--God Bless 'em--did it with no mouse, and a plain text-only black-and-white screen, and 32 kilobytes of RAM But then 'round 'bout the late 70's, home computers started to do a little more than play Pong... very little more. Like computers started to play games, and balance checkbooks, and why you could play Zaxxon on your Apple II, or... write a book! All with a computer that had 32 kilobytes of RAM! It was good enough to go to the moon, it was good enough for you It was a golden time. A time before Windows, a time before mouses, a time before the internet and bloatware, and a time... before every OS sucked *sigh* Well, way back in the olden times My computer worked for me I'd laugh and play, all night and day On Zork I, II and III The Amiga, VIC-20 and the Sinclair II The TRS 80 and the Apple II They did what they were supposed to do Wasn't much... but it was enough But then Xerox made a prototype Steve Jobs came on the scene Read 'Of Mice and Menus,' Windows, Icons A trash, and a bitmap screen Well Stevie said to Xerox 'Boys, turn your heads and cough.' And when no-one was looking He ripped their interfaces off
Stole every feature that he had seen Put it in a cute box with a tiny little screen Mac OS 1 ran that machine Only cost five thousand bucks But it was slow, it was buggy So they wrote it again And now they're up to OS 10 They'll charge you for the Beta, then charge you again But the Mac OS still sucks Every OS wastes your time From the desktop to the lap Everything since Apple Dos Just a bunch of crap From Microsoft, to Macintosh To Lih-- lie-- lih-- lie... nux Every computer crashes 'cause every OS sucks Well then Microsoft jumped in the game Copied Apple's interface, with an OS named 'Windows 3.1' - it was twice as lame But the stock price rose and rose
Then Windows 95, then 98 Man solitaire never ran so great And every single version came out late But I guess that's the way it goes But that bloatware'll crash and delete your work NT, ME, man, none of 'em work Bill Gates may be richer than Captain Kirk But the Windows OS blows! And sucks! At the same time! I'd trade it in, yeah right... for what? It's top of the line from the Compuhut The fridge, stove and toaster, never crash on me I should be able to get online, without a PHD My phone doesn't take a week to boot it My TV doesn't crash when I mute it I miss ASCII text, and my floppy drive I wish VIC-20 was still alive... But it ain't the hardware, man It's just that every OS sucks... and blows
Now there's lih-nux or lie-nux I don't know how you say it Or how you install it, or use it, or play it Or where you download it, or what programs run But lih-nux, or lie-nux, don't look like much fun However you say it, it's getting great press Though how it survives is anyone's guess If you ask me, it's a great big mess For elitist, nerdy shmucks 'It's free!' they say, if you can get it to run The Geeks say, 'Hey, that's half the fun!' Yeah, but I got a girlfriend, and things to get done The Linux OS SUCKS (I'm sorry to say it, but it does.) Every OS wastes your time From the desktop to the lap Everything since the abacus Just a bunch of crap From Microsoft, to Macintosh To lih-lie-lih-lie... nux Every computer crashes 'cause every OS sucks Every computer crashes... 'cause every OS sucks!
