letra de b01 - cowboy coder

“in wall street news today
vignette stock crashes another 20% amidst
rampant speculation of a possible
upcoming dot com bubble burst. what will happen?”

verse 1:

i walked in on the very first day
check out the decor, it’s so feng shui
catered breakfast in the conference rooms
welcome to the party in the dot com boom
ping pong tables, gym on site
man, this place is really tight
feels just like a paradise resort
no need for memos or tps reports
the day starts late, but not a moment too soon
forget about work, they’ve got massagеs at noon
late day meeting to get to know evеryone
“tell us about yourself and what you do for fun?”
well, i’m classically trained in the technical arts
my life is quite divine and it’s off the charts
and everything i do, i do with a smile
when it comes to slinging code, i do it cowboy style

chorus:
went to a meeting with all the execs
time stood still as they began to reflect
it was time building up to an absolute peak
so i listened really closely as they began to speak

there’s something here for everyone
something unexpected and it must be done
this is b01, b01, this is b01, yeah, b01
this is more than just a party and it’s more than just fun
just sat there staring at “b01.”
this is b01, b01, this is b01, yeah, b01

verse 2:

as time went on i began to believe
if you open up your mind, you will surely receive
for the day was coming soon when we could all cash out
blue horseshoe style, you know what i’m talking about
the pundits and the experts just couldn’t agree
they talked about it constantly on cnbc
many were quite vocal and we shouted audibly
forget about revenue, this is a new economy
the excitement in the air was something to behold
seemed like everything was made of gold
it was all going up, no end in sight
even non-techies began to see the light
rob thomas and santana rocked the radio daily
we ran that green mile and all thought maybe
the nasdaq wouldn’t crash like the world trade center
living in a bubble that would soon be dismembered
chorus:

went to a meeting with all the execs
time stood still as they began to reflect
it was time building up to an absolute peak
so i listened really closely as they began to speak

verse 3:

i woke up to the news that day
stocks were melting down and it was here to stay
just sat there staring at the screen and getting mad
“this is worse than i thought, this is really bad.”
layoff after layoff seemed like it would never end
farewell gatherings, saying goodbye to old friends
what happened to the good times i remember so well?
it’s tough to stay upbeat when you’re going through h-ll
i had to get out, i was feeling a calling
my oh my, how the mighty had fallen
it’s hard to imagine what has really been won
there were a billion things to do back in 2001
chorus:

went to a meeting with all the execs
time stood still as they began to reflect
it was time building up to an absolute peak
so i listened really closely as they began to speak

there’s something here for everyone
something unexpected and it must be done
this is b01, b01, this is b01, yeah, b01
this is more than just a party and it’s more than just fun
just sat there starting at “b01.”
this is b01, b01, this is b01, yeah, b01

outro:

this is the story of the dot com bubble
how when it bust in texas we were in trouble
this is b01, b01
this is b01, yeah, b01

“while former vignette employees may be lamenting their former lavish lifestyles in texas, that’s okay. they’ve got infinite time on their hands now to do other things like make debut records, get involved in the blockchain, and listen to rush.”
