(w/ apologies to Barenaked Ladies)
Mierauch, the skills were never really working anyway
Mierauch, the spells were never really working anyway
It took him a month to discover the errors
It took him two more to fix em just right (whoa whoa)
We took a beating when we didn't say so the first time
And every time, we went back to blathering on notes we did write
Mierauch, game balance was never really working anyway
Mierauch, the remorts were never really working anyway
Maybe we liked the old code, or the new code, who can say?
But Mierauch, the code is broken, why don't you fix it anyway?
There were times when the mud almost crashed
And there were times that I know that it did (whoa whoa)
And there were times when we crashed it ourselves
But can you blame me, I thought the bug had been rid?
Tell me why I never really respected immortals
And tell me why I never believed that they were all people too
Maybe it's cause they don't listen to my ideas
And I whine loudly, oh but, imms do lose their patience too
And Mierauch? Mierauch, he froze me too
Mierauch the notes were never really working anyway
Mierauch, the prompt was never really working anyway
Maybe I want a restring, or a title, Mierauch, hey?
Mierauch, it's my turn! Where did you go? Ah, who needs him anyway?
It tooks us a month to discover a new bug
And it took us two more to exploit it a lot (whoa whoa)
I took a beating when he found it existed (hey!)
And while I was on, he told me to go rot
Now it's not fair, cause my butt's kicked everywhere on the mud
And it's not fair, cause I'm just as good as all my attackers too
But maybe I shouldn't have used all that language I did
Cause while I enjoyed it, oh, this lag flag makes life really tough
Oh, and Mierauch? Mier, could you remove it please?
(Mierauch:)
I can fix the code, I can get a better server
I can fix in C, add in C, add some fixes you won't see
I can work through the night, I can make the channels bright
I can do it all for you -- but I don't want to!
(The next three are all sung simultaneously)
(1st voice:)
Mierauch, the skills were never really working anyway
Mierauch, the spells were never really working anyway
Mierauch, I want some brand new spankin' cool things in today
But Mierauch, I don't care, just do what I want you to do, kay?
(2nd voice AKA Mierauch:)
I can write new races, write new skills, write new spells
And other stuff that you never ever saw before
I can give you better powers that will help you kill
And kick some butt round the mud
Like silly remorts, 1K chars, highbie mobs that are there
And give you more XP, or some DP or even QP
I can do it while you whine, continually, just for you
But I don't want to!
(3rd voice:)
Where's my rptitle? Lit's never on!
I want a restring! Hey, Mier, c'mon!
(all together:)
Mierauch, the mud was never really working anyway
Mierauch, the fixes were never really working anyway
Mierauch, ROM code was never really working anyway!
*FIN*
Litazia - I don't expect this to be on the top 40 anytime soo.
