Buggy Software
(The original version of this song is heavy on the synthesizers and electric guitar, so it's kind of tough to translate into a solo acoustic guitar. I manage it, though, just barely. Eventually, I'll do a full production on this one, then I can learn to play that awesome lead guitar part in the middle.)



        Buggy Software
        By Tony Fabris
        To the tune of "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley

I stay awake by drinking Mountain Dews
Just code up somethin', somethin' they can use
Ship before somebody sues
Ship that buggy software

Well I coulda been a hacker, but I wound up here 
I just have to code fast, if my bugs aren't severe
I'm a Microsoft engineer
Codin' buggy software

        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it sucks, call it 1.0

Got a by-the-hour tester, comes in at five 
She can make her whole machine crash, in the blink of an eye 
Just format her Windows drive
Test more buggy software

Did we make it to the milestone? Is the feature in yet? 
You know the boys in the clean room got a running bet 
Post that sucker on the 'net 
We need buggy software

You don't really wanna take that new Windows home
You don't really wanna reap those new bugs we've sown
Just leave well enough alone
Keep your buggy software

        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it runs, ship it if it don't 
        Ship it if it sucks, call it 1.0

Buggy little programs, ruinin' your lives
We got our buggy DLL files on everybody's drives
We love it when the user cries
We love buggy software

We can call it "version 2", or a service pack
But you know it's just a beta in a box that's shrink-wrapped
Microsoft's the King of Crap
Give us buggy software
