Boots Like Redmond Spirit

By: unknown
Original: "Smells like Teen Spirit" (Nirvana)

PC-heads line up by the score;
Their OS is finally in the store.
It has some new things in its pack
We've had for ten years on the Mac.

Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows...

Here's our system!
Now upgrade it!
Sell our souls to
Those who made it!
A new era
We will call it!
So what if we
Can't install it?
We'll keep hoping,
Never stop now;
Trying hard to
Start it up now...
Damn!

King Billy celebrates today,
Partying up the Redmond way.
He's just a simple man, you see;
All he wants is mo-no-po-ly.

Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows...

In the headlights
You are caught now
Of the MS
Juggernaut now!
Comin' at ya;
You can't swerve it;
Get your keyboard
When you reserve it!
To conclusions
We will rush now
"The demise of
Macintosh now!"

They say that Windows 95
Will cause the Mac to take a dive;
But start it up and you'll see why
Windows, you make a grown man cry.

Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows...
Windows, Windows, Windows...

Come on, answer,
Tech service;
We are getting
Really nervous!
We could be out
Apple-bashing
But our boot-ups
Just keep crashing!
You say if we
Wanna thrive now,
Gotta get a
Bigger drive now,
And more mem'ry.
Ain't it funny?
We thought we were
Saving money
Buying no-name
Intel boxes;
Guess we're not such
Clever foxes!
This chaotic
Souped up DOS now
Has us at a
Total loss now!
Have the drivers
Fried the FAT now?
Where's the AUTO
EXEC.BAT now?
Can't believe we
Gotta look now
For that dusty
Old DOS book now!
Thought we'd never
Have to read it!
Dig it out, now;
Gonna ned it!
Setting HIMEM!
Setting LOMEM!
Loading Windows
Leaves me no mem!
We give up now,
You can't grapple
How to cheaply
Mimic Apple!
Wnat can we do?
Who can tell now?
Someone save us
From this hell now!

ya ya ya ya...
ya ya ya ya...
ya ya ya ya...
ya ya ya ya...
