Microsoft is coming to town You paid for it list, You paid for it twice; You paid even more for legal advice. Microsoft is coming to town They know when you run Windows They know when you use Word They treat a loyal customer Like a lying, thieving turd. With auditing threats In letters that come Their lawyers will have you reaching for Tums Microsoft is coming to town Bill's desperate now There's no time to play He's casting dot-Net to drag in your pay Microsoft is coming to town They offer a solution When you are left in tears Just sign here on the bottom line And subscribe for fifty years! Oh, you should have watched out Gave Linux a try Now licensing six is bleeding you dry Microsoft is coming to town Microsoft is coming to town! Silent Bells (To the tune of Silver Bells) We got laid off, hit the sidewalks Dressed in interview style, In the air there's a feeling so listless. No one's offering, people scoffing, Walking mile after mile, Then you wait by the phone just to hear: Silent bells! Silent bells! It's jobless time, such a pity. Ring-a-ling, won't you ring? You'll take whatever they pay. Dim the hall lights, use the street lights, Gotta save all our green We've run out of all our unemployment. It's the big crunch, we've a good hunch That our 401K Will be empty by early next year. Silent bells! Silent Bells! It's jobless time, such a pity. Ring-a-ling, won't you ring? We may be homeless today. They're Beginning to Lock Out All Your Freedoms (To the tune of It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas) They're beginning to lock out all your freedoms No matter how you moan; You'll have to pay five and ten, for listening once again To songs you already own; It's beginning to look a lot like Russia Or 1984 What a frightening sight to see, a recording company Can knock down your front door. Some encryption that bloops and software that snoops Is the wish of Disney's top men; Dolls that never talk and you never use chalk, Every word is copywritten! And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for the revolution to begin. It's beginning to look a lot like prison Ev'rywhere you go; There's a camera on the Hotel, one in the park as well, There's nothing they don't know. They're beginning to lock out all your freedoms Soon the bills will start, And the thing that will make you pay, is the coming and fateful day When they copyright your heart. And finally, on a positive note, we wrap up this year's festive songs with a chorus of Free Ride... Slay Ride (To the tune of Sleigh Ride) Don't hear that cash drawer jingling, Ring ting tingling tee Come on, it's time we better Put a network together that's free. Outside our stock is falling And friends are calling 'boo hoo,' Come on, it's time we'd better Put some software together that's GNU. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, let's go Our money can grow, When Linux puts a lid on TCO. Set it up, set it up, set it up, it's grand We're now in command, We're gliding along with the source And we finally took our stand. Our checkbook's nice and rosy And comfy cozy are we We finally got it together With a network that's better and free. We took that road before us And sang a chorus of GNU, 'Cause Billy's "Road Ahead-us" Made us far into "Debt-us" and blue. Don't hear that cash drawer jingling, Ring ting tingling tee Come on, it's time we'd better Put a network together that's free. Outside our stock is falling And friends are calling 'boo hoo,' Come on, it's time we better Put some software together that's GNU. We're so much better now that we're all together with GNU!
