If it weren't bl**dy Microsoft, who would it be?
P'raps an owled desk machine, from the BBC
P'raps a lime green acorn, sitting on me knee
If you don't got your Windows, on your PC!

Oh Bill Gates is wonderful, Balmer's fun as well
They keep the masses entertained, As their software bloat does swell
We'd feel the lack of DRM, in the media they sell
And Steve leads his us all in "Windows, Windows, Windows ...
... Windows Windows Windows"

If it weren't bl**dy Microsoft, who would it be?
You'd still have your system 80, hooked to your TV
You'd use a little spectum, painted like a bee
If you don't got your Windows, on your PC!

Now there's a new kernel, linux or BSD
You no longer need your windows, not you, nor me
But someone's got to be ahead, a top-dog there's got to be
Which is why most everyone else still has, Windows on their PC

If it weren't bl**dy Microsoft, who would it be?
Perhaps a Comodore, C64, sitting by the sea?
Perhaps an OS2000, on an IBM machine
If you don't got your Windows, crashing your PC!

(Somebody stop me!)
