Bugzilla Blues

[Shane H. W. Travis]

Been enough sniping back and forth on this list lately that I figured we
could all do with a bit of a break. This whole thing came to me in about 15
minutes, so I'm obviously inspired. ;-)

I know just how it sounds in my head, but I don't know enough guitar to
write out the chords or anything. It's a pretty standard walking-bass blues
riff that I'm sure most of you have all heard before. So now, without
further waffling, I present to you...

The Bugzilla Blues
==================
(verse 1)
Oh, my Voting button's broken
All my Bugmail is returned
My Comments go unheeded and my bugs go UNCONFIRMED
(Chorus)
Got them... Bugzilla blues...
I just wants to be free...
Why is this Open-Source project so closed to the likes of me

(verse2)
Well, Dave won't approve my patches...
Myk don't like my design
Nobody reviews me, all that I can do is Whine
(Chorus)
Got them... Bugzilla blues...
Code Just Wants To Be Free...
Why is this Open-Source project so closed to the likes of me?

(wailing harmonica solo)

(Bridge)
Maxwell says it's got to be in smaller pieces
Jouni says my indentation's shot
Gerv is busy fussin' 'bout the date of the releases
while all my patches sit upon the vine and rot

(verse 3)
Well I got so tired of trying
That I sat and wrote this song
And then Vlad came by and criticized, "You're singing it all wrong!"
(Chorus)
Got them... Bugzilla blues...
I just wants to be free...
Why is this Open-Source project so closed to the likes of me?
