Without C

To the tune of “Without Me”

[size=2]Two GUI classes go on the inside; on the inside, on the inside

Guess who’s back Back again C is back Tell a friend
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back

Sun’s created a monster, cause nobody wants to code Java no more
or basic, but something quicker
Well if you want speed, this is what I’ll give ya
A language called C that won’t let you do “is a”
Some “has a” that makes me feel sicker
than the bugs when I build patch that’s critical
using make to compile and be building
with a language that allows object orientating

Your var name’s too long, now stop line breaking
Cause I’m back, I’m a new var and instantiating
I know that you got a job Bill and Steve
but your company’s trust problem’s complicating

So GCC won’t follow ANSI or copy memory, so let me see
They try to recompile with visual C But it feels so bloated, without C
So, connect with SLIP, or create a RIP **** that, write a function, and shift some bits
And get ready, and use a pattern like proxy MS just settled their lawsuits, expect a levy!

Now this looks like a job for C So everybody, just code in C
Cause we need a little, bit more speed Cause it runs so slowly, without C

Little Hallions, MS feelin litigious Embarrassed that users still listen to RMS
They start feelin like ellen feiss 'til someone comes on the television and yells SWITCH!!!

A visionary, beard’s lookin’ scary Could start a revolution, lives in a bear cave
A rebel, although emacs ain’t real fast and there’s the fact that I only got one class
And it’s a disaster, such a castastrophe for you can see so **** much of my class; meant to use C.

Well I’m back, i-j-k-x-y-z-out-ta-var-names Fix your **** indentifier tune your code and I’m gonna
open it, under vim, maybe pico and variables, no such thing as a member
I’m interesting, the best thing since assembly but not Polluting the namespace with inherits
We’re Testing, your functions please Feel the tension, soon as someone commits some C
Here’s my webpage, my code is free who’ll pay the rent? What, You code with vi?

An object in[/size] [size=2].NET, I go tit for tat with anybody who’s setting this bit, that bit
AT&T, you can get your *** kicked worse than those little C++ bastards

And Ruby? just like a static property not even used with KDE and QT
You’re not like C, you’re too slow, let go It’s over, nobody’ll code in OO!
Now let’s go, -9’s the signal I’ll be there with a whole list of XM and L
I use SOAP, XPATH with XSL And you know perl’s just like coding in symbols
everybody only just codes C so this must mean, some com-pile-ing
but it’s just me i’m obfuscating And though I’m not the first king of controversy
And i’m not the worst thing since assembly but I am the worst thing since 86 XFree
do use BASIC and JSP and used it to get myself wealthy
Here’s a concept that works twenty million new coders emerge
but no matter how many fish in the sea half of them can’t even code C
