Eleanor Rigby
Sits at the keyboard
And waits for a line on the screen
Lives in a dream
Waits for a signal
Finding some code
That will make the machine do some more.  What is it for?

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Guru MacKenzie
Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
   Isn't it fun?
Look at him working,
Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
   It takes a while...

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Eleanor Rigby
Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
   Feels like a jerk.
Guru MacKenzie
Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
   Nothing will load.

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
