Deriding on the Pity of Dull Forums,
Login Window Monday morning fail
Fifteen threads and fifteen restless posters,
Three detractors and twenty-five attacks of rail.

All along the pointless odyssey
The pain pulls at my bended knee
Rolls along past blather, spam and feeds.
Passin' strains that have no names,
Scroll bars full of old grey bands
And the graveyards of the busted logic screeds.

CHORUS:
Good morning Wikisphere, how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native scum,
I'm the pain they call The Pity of Dull Forums,
I'll scroll past five hundred posts when the day is done.

Dealin' snerk games with the jokers in the tar pit.
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.
Slide the neon mouse that moves the pointer
Feel the thumb wheels gliding 'neath the pad.

And the sons of pointless chatters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of bits.
Mothers with their feet asleep,
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rants is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The Pity of Dead Forums,
Changing topics in case you didn't see.
Half way home, we'll be dull by morning
Through the misty snippy darkness
Rolling down to the sea.

And all the talk and people seem
To fade into a ghoulish dream
And the open windows still ain't heard the news.
The detractor sings his song again,
The patrons will please refrain
This forum's got the depressing songfest blues.

Good night, Wikisphere, how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native scum,
I'm the pain they call The Pity of Dull Forums,
I'll scroll past five hundred posts when the day is done.
