sung to the tune of "Heartless" by HEART
lyrics by Mark Crispin

The wizard told me come back again next week
"I think that you need me"
All I could do was sigh -
I wanted to die
"When can you see me?
Cause there's a bug out there
Seems like it's everywhere
You know it just ain't FAIR!"

Hack-less, Hack-less
The system will never never let me hit CTRL
Hack-less, Hack-less
Crocks in the name of being featureful!
Hack-less, Hack-less
They think it's so damn cool to be drool -
They'll never realize the way LOTS dies
When the queue is always full!

Late night up in the CERAS room
Where the LPT's are churning
Try to log on but my alloc's gone
For my EMACS I'm yearning.
They say they understand
But I can't read their PLAN
Or do a ^E command!

Hack-less, Hack-less
The system will never never let me hit CTRL
Hack-less, Hack-less
Crocks in the name of being featureful!
Hack-less, Hack-less
They think it's so damn cool to be drool -
They'll never realize the way LOTS dies
When the queue is always full!
