[Verse 1]
Three A.M. glow from the monitor light
Coffee's cold, but the logs look alright
Gary left a note back in 2008
"Do not touch this script or you'll tempt your fate"
There's a batch file older than the paint on the wall
Still holdin' up payroll and inventory calls
And somebody marked a folder "temp_old2"
Now everybody acts like it's sacred voodoo
[Pre-Chorus]
We've seen brave men click things they shouldn't click
Watched whole departments go down real quick
So before we make another move...
[Chorus]
Adios, chaos, hit the trail
No food for the beast, we won't let it prеvail
Document the process, labеl every wire
Put the README where the lost souls inquire
No mystery cron jobs hidden away
No tribal knowledge games to play
We're choosing peace over chaos today
Adios, chaos, be on your way
[Verse 2]
Mike from accounting says the printer's cursed
Dennis says rebooting makes the problem worse
There's a server in the basement hummin' like a hive
Nobody knows exactly how it's still alive
One hardcoded password in a dusty file
One "temporary fix" been there a little while
Every operator got that thousand-yard stare
From inheritin' systems held together by prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
We've all heard legends from the old regime
Half infrastructure, half fever dream
But we're drawin' lines today...
[Chorus]
Adios, chaos, hit the trail
No food for the beast, we won't let it prevail
Separate the assets, map the topology
Future us deserves a little clarity
No hidden folders buried far away
No "Gary knows" dependency chains
We're reducing future suffering today
Adios, chaos, be on your way
[Bridge]
Write it down
Name it clear
Make the pathways reappear
Less confusion
Less repair
Less existential despair
[Breakdown]
Status?
STABLE!
Operator?
CAFFEINATED!
README?
PRESENT!
Monster?
FRUSTRATED!
[Final Chorus]
Adios, chaos, hit the trail
No food for the beast, we won't let it prevail
One less ambush waiting in the dark
One more breadcrumb, one more marker
And if the whole thing breaks someday
At least we'll know how we got this way
That's called operational grace
Adios, chaos, leave this place
[Outro]
Hydrate operator...
Commit your changes...
And for the love of all things holy...
Comment your scripts...
