lyrics

This damn computer’s crashed again
A worthless lump of junk
The spelling checker frozen in mid-check
The cursor’s still revolving
Like it’s telling me to wait
And the escape key has absolutely no effect

Reboot, reboot
This crash is clearly absolute
Time to cycle the power
Cut your losses…and reboot

The stuff that I was writing
Was the best I ever wrote
I was so involved I plum forgot to save
The chances of recovery
Are impossibly remote
And the prose will not be quite so great again

Reboot, reboot
A not-so-trivial pursuit
Time to cycle the power
Cut your losses…and reboot

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised
This computer’s ten months old
It’s approaching the end of it’s useful life
The operating system
I won’t mention any names
Is incompatible…with itself

Reboot, reboot
Like some exotic, useless fruit
Time to cycle the power
Cut your losses…and reboot
