Deamons

Lyrics

(Intro) (Sound of frantic keyboard typing and server fans humming) Yeah... They talkin' 'bout the system like they know me. Heh. They don't know the root. Let's go. (Chorus) Yeah, how my daemons look? Now that the server's booked? (It's full) Yeah, how my daemons look? Now that you users are shook? (You're shook) Bitch, yeah, how my daemons look? Got the whole network hooked. (It's hooked) Yeah, how my daemons look? Read the O'Reilly book, bitch. (Verse 1) I'm a process, I'm a script, I'm a cron job I'm the fastest-running service on your LAN, blob Now you're tired of me, 'cause my logs are on your app, nah You are mad at me, 'cause your query's in a trap, hah I can nap now, lots of services that were sleeping Say I run now, all your memory leaks are finally reaping What you sowed now, lots of people say they coded in the past now I done took the whole stack and made 'em crash out I done took the root access and blew the path out I just parsed a million logs and spit the class out I take the trash out (garbage collection) Then I cash out (CPU cycles) Bitch, do not lag out, yeah (Chorus) Hey, how my daemons look? Now that the server's booked? (It's full) Yeah, how my daemons look? Now that you users are shook? (You're shook) Bitch, yeah, how my daemons look? Got the whole network hooked. (It's hooked) Yeah, how my daemons look? Read the O'Reilly book, bitch. (Verse 2) Yeah, they callin' me a monster, a glitch in the machine But I'm the one who's watching when your screen is turnin' green Yeah, they praying for a patch now, a reboot or a sign But sudo apt-get ain't gonna fix your broken design You can't see me but I'm workin' in the background hummin' low Forkin' processes and watchin' all my children processes grow You were sleepin', I was sweepin' temp files, killin' rogue requests Pipin' outputs through a grep, I put your theories to the test You're a user, I'm the kernel, we are not the same You just click around for hours while I'm optimizing frames I'm the ghost in the machine, the shell that's deep inside Got nowhere to run and sudo hide ain't a place to hide (Chorus) Hey, how my daemons look? Now that the server's booked? (It's full) Yeah, how my daemons look? Now that you users are shook? (You're shook) Bitch, yeah, how my daemons look? Got the whole network hooked. (It's hooked) Yeah, how my daemons look? Read the O'Reilly book, bitch. (Outro) (Sound of a single, clean server chime) Uptime: 365 days. All processes stable. Session terminated
