<\/a><\/p>\n(Punch it, Fink!)<\/p>\n
Come on!<\/p>\n
Chorus:<\/i>
\nLet’s talk about ‘nix, baby
\nLet’s talk about gcc,
\nLet’s talk about all the GNU things,
\nAnd the FUD things that we see,
\nLet’s talk about ‘nix…
\nLet’s talk about ‘nix!<\/p>\n
Let’s talk about ‘nix for now,
\nTo the people at home or in the crowd,
\nIt keeps comin’ up anyhow.
\nDon’t decoy, avoid or make void the topic,
\nCoz that ain’t gunna stop it!<\/p>\n
Now we talk about ‘nix on the web and on the audio casts,
\nEveryone blasts, throwin’ out LARTs,
\nBut we’ll tell it like it is, and how it could be —
\nHow it was, and of course how it should be!<\/p>\n
Those who think it’s boring, use your mice,
\nShut down your browser, change sites,
\nOr break your internet link —
\nWill that stop us, Fink? I doubt it!
\nAll right then! Come on, spin!<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/i><\/p>\n
Hot to slot, make any rack’s breaker pop,
\nThey use what they got, to fake whatever they don’t got,
\nAdmin’s drool but then again they’re only human,
\nThese blades are a hit, and the market is boomin’.
\nJava, C, Pascal, crazy Fortran,
\nNothing they run is ever dawdlin’!<\/p>\n
Their fate: eliminate wait, actin’ in haste,
\nGenomes, finance, nothin is too great for these,
\nTo be tasked, they’ll even surpass,
\nIn a blur, they purr, you infer the gist.
\nAnd believe me you, it’s as good as true:
\nThere just ain’t a job around that these beasties can’t do.<\/p>\n
They’ve got it all in the bag, so they oughta be glad
\nBut they’re mad and sad and feelin’ bad
\nThinkin’ ’bout the kernel they never had.
\nNo ‘nix, just ‘doze, followed next with a crack and a patch,
\nThat new box is pwned… (pwned, pwned, pwned)<\/p>\n
Take it easy…<\/p>\n
