They did not care
When the bug was over there

A financial problem
That’s what they care about
A thousand people drop matters less than
A thousand point drop
Unfair, they scream
We care, they cry
Of course, you do

It might, or it might not succeed
We won’t know until we know, and by the it’s too late
Be alert for you do not know when it will strike
