Lyrics
[Verse]
It was a cold day in December when it came,
The day we dreaded finally changed the game,
Russ, the gateway expert, also the card guy,
Finally had enough and said goodbye (oooh)
[Verse 2]
With his retirement came a wave of confusion
Who knew the first thing about how cards worked at all?
Our expertise in banking just might be an illusion,
Oh Russ, can't you hear our desperate calls? (oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Store and forwards never make it to us,
Gateways crashing forty times a day,
These bitmap values seem kind of sus,
I thought someone was supposed to make Russ stay.
[Chorus]
Store and forwards never make it to us,
Gateways crashing forty times a day,
Relay table is filled with random data,
Anyone know why Tristan went away?
[Instrumental]
[soft]
Anyone know why Tristan went away?
[instrumental]
[verse 3]
So we finished making changes for the upgrade,
We looked them over and thought we were good,
Made the cutover in production on a Sunday,
Only then did we bother looking under the hood
[bridge]
And then we found out with despair We didn't seem to really care
That every listing would tend to lead,
to bring the servers to their knees,
and that's just the things we could prepare.............
[faster]
[Chorus]
Store and forwards never make it to us,
Gateways crashing forty times a day,
These bitmap values seem kind of sus,
I thought someone was supposed to make Russ stay.
Store and forwards never make it to us,
Gateways crashing forty times a day,
Relay table is filled with random data,
Anyone know why Tristan went away?
[Instrumental]
[soft]
Anyone know why Tristan went away?
We try our best to keep our sanity when everything brings us too our knees
it's funny to think that we had our dreams and they ended one day....
[soft solo]
when Russ went away....................
[instrumental]
[soft]
[solo]
Does anyone know why Tristan went away?
[end]
