- can't parse this
-
-
- my assignments hit me so hard
- make me say, "oh my lord
- thank you for blessin me
- with a load to code and a 2 hype seat"
- right here, in front of a Sparc
- looks good in the light, looks better in the dark
- but it tells me - in a manner quite harsh
- "This is a string I can't parse"
-
- (I told ya, kludge-boy)
- Can't Parse This
- (yea, a fatal error and you know)
- Can't Parse This
- (look at that code, maaaan)
- Can't Parse This
- (yo lemme bust some funky diagnostics)
-
- "fresh new bugs, and errors
- your code is more than compiler terror
- it's rotten - to the core
- i don't like it but you know i'll get more
- than i can handle hold on
- identifier not found or your semicolon's gone
- step back - step back
- can't you see i'm developing a crack
- in my hardware - your code's a farce
- cause this is a string I Can't Parse"
-
- (yo i told ya)
- Can't Parse This
- (why you sittin there, man)
- Can't Parse This
- (yo, sound the terminal bell, ya got mail, sucka)
-
- compile-time bugs disrupt my rhythm
- it's tellin me trash is what i'm givin him
- it's garbage, in and out
- but instead of a nice little a.out
- i get feedback
- fed back
- to me by this here RISC machine
- no fun
- what's it gonna take in the 90s to run these programs
- 4GLs?
- either learn those or wind up in hell
-
- that's longWORD because you know
- Can't Parse This
- Can't Parse This
-
- top-down!
-
- Stop! Compile Time!
-
- go with the flow
- it is said if you can't write in C then you probably are dead
- so wave K&R in the air
- waste a few nights, run your fingers thru your hair
- this is it
- no dinner - code like this and you'll surely get thinner
- sitting
- on your rump
- watch your machine cause it's gonna do a dump
- dump dump dump (core dumped)
-
- Can't Parse This
- Can't Parse This
- (ya better get Turbo cause I can't)
- I Can't Parse This
- (ring the bell, your mail's been returned)
-
- shutdown!
-
- Stop! Link Time!
-
- Can't Parse This
- Can't Parse This
- Can't Parse This
-
- slowdown!
- Stop! Run Time!
-
- every time I program
- it complains about my code
- maybe i'm in the wrong book or Emacs is in the wrong mode
- now i know that i'll never stop doing this
- cause our 3rd party software keeps on giving us fits
- i did an RTFM
- read K&R all day
- it's "Error!" "Big Error!" "Nasty Error!" "FATAL ERROR!"
- so instead i'll go and play
-
- Can't Parse This
- Can't Parse This
- I Can't Parse This
- (yeah)
- Can't Parse This
- (i told ya, wahoos,)
- Can't Parse This
