come gather round people wherever
you roam
and accept that the networks
around you have grown
and admit that software piracy
you don't condone
if your data to you is worth
saving
then you better make backups
on your macs or pc clones
for the times they are a changin
come students and staffers who
double-click with your mice
and keep your eyes open - your
screen savers look so nice
and don't blame network downtime
on poltergeists
the new copy of WORD just
delivered
takes 2 dozen diskettes and
needs 40 megabytes
cos' the times they are a changin
come faculty and administrators,
please read your e-mail
it's been there for months now
and it's gettin stale
our attempts to get more disk
space from ADP have failed
the battle on campus is ragin
whether we will use windows or
macs will prevail
yup the times they are a changin
come users and sysadmins all
over the LAN
your bandwidth requirements we
don't understand
your digital desktops and
cryptic commands
your multimedia stations
were not in the budget of our
five year plan
but the times they are a changin
with Ethernet, Token Ring and
FDDI
we've got the best network that
money can buy
with Internet access and
registration on-line
but yesterday when he was
cleaning
the janitor unplugged the power
and all systems died
oh the times they are a changin
