Lindens Lament

Lindens Lament
by Foolish Frost

based on a song by Billy Joel

Its nine pm on the SL grid
(That's in pacific time, dontcha know?)
And the sim's filling up with avatars
and they're all coming here for a show...

...

The sim's starting to feel the pressure now
but they keep rezzing in anyway,
with thier thousand prim hair, and thier bling everywhere,
Seems none of us are gonna stay...

(mutters) "Crap, I just crashed again..."
(mutters) "Is it me, or them? Oh it's them..."

Chorus:
Play us a song, you old Fool
We need something that can entertain,
Cause I can bairly move, and the sim's going boom,
and I'm trying to login again.

...

So a linden shows up, and the people yell
"What the hell's wrong with this bloody sim?"
And the linden replied, in a voice oh so snide,
"Well you're all wearing too many prims!"

He yelled, "you blame us all for your troubles",
"and sometimes that may even be true",
but I damn well know, that this sim's gonna blow,
with ten million scripts here, your're all screwed!

(mutters) "Crap, I just crashed again..."
(mutters) "Is it me, or them? Oh it's them..."

Well, the sim's been reset, for hundreth time,
I don't really see what good it does,
'cause with ninty-nine souls, all out of control,
the sim's shutting down, "Just because!"

...

By the time I was logged in again,
the lindens had all returned home.
But that's really okay, there was nothing to say,
Before the damn sim went back down.

... ...

Chorus:
Play us a song, you old Fool
We need something that can entertain,
Cause I can bairly move, and the sim's going boom,
and I'm trying to login again.

Well, I look around at the crowd tonight
And I just have to roll both my eyes,
There's a billion prim furry, who seems in a hurry,
for the sim's early demise.

And the owner cried out, "I paid for this?"
As he tried to find out what was wrong,
I just gave him a nod, and for the night logged
Cause that was the end of my song!

(mutters) "Crap, I just crashed again..."
(mutters) "Is it me, or them? Oh it's them..."

Chorus:
Play us a song, you old Fool
We need something that can entertain,
Cause I can bairly move, and the sim's going boom,
and I'm trying to login again.
