As I check this LAN for broken wires
I have visions of server fires
Availability is just an illusion
I desperately need a good solution
What becomes of the broken hardware
Fizzled out after only one year
I know I've got to find
What took us down this time
Maybe.
The root causes go on and on
as the network comes a-crashin' down
Every day tensions get a little stronger
I can't take this heat much longer.
I check the server logs, searching for clues
The staff is glaring at me, wanting some news
Hoping and praying the vendors will care
I keep calling them but getting nowhere
What becomes of the broken hardware
Fizzled out after only one year
I know I've got to find
What took us down this time
Help me, please.
It dawns on me I won't succeed
Until I get the help I really need
To the VAR Network, a plea I'm sending
In hopes this job won't have an unhappy ending
What becomes of the broken hardware
Fizzled out after only one year
I know I've got to find
What took us down this time
I've been searching everywhere
But now I've got a VAR who cares
We'll be working night and day
I know we're going to find a way
Nothing's going to stop us now
This network's gonna run somehow
Hooray!
