| The Heartbeat of technology |
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
The drumbeat never ends,
Sometimes droning,
Sometimes staccato,
Sometimes rarely that patter of dew on morning leaves,
Yet mostly staccato or droning.
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
"My fiber is cut."
"My password doesn't work."
"The power failed and the server won't boot."
Alarms and tickets and outages and installs and emails and frothing-at-the-mouth freaked out pleas for help,
And,
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
It never ends,
Rarely comes in less than threes,
At the worst time interruptions,
Nights,
Weekends,
Holidays,
Forty-eight hour marathons of punch-drunk sleeplessness,
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
Murphy dances with your servers,
Stepping on toes,
On vacations and funerals,
But...
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
We go on,
Bleary-eyed,
Beyond being excitable,
Faded-eye watery focus,
We magicians,
Chained to the weary spell.
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
The whole universe fades and time whips by outside like you're in a black hole's grip,
Decades and layoffs blur into endless wired stories of hardware heroes,
Where logic is your armor,
Too tired to feel,
Thirty years plus,
Ground into PIXIE dust,
We're saving the internet,
Just techin'.
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
Da-boom boom,
Da-BOOM boom,
DA-boom BOOM,
Da-boom BOOM BOOM.
