The Keys Don't Work
All this talk of keyboard mapping
it's getting me down my love
With a hack in `termcap', remapping `pound'
this time `hash' can't be found
And I hope you're thinking of me
as I log in with `telnet'
Now the keys don't work
they just enter junk
and I'll never see my work again
Now the keys don't work
they just enter junk
and I'll never see my work again
But I know I'm on a losing streak
as I press down my `delete'
And if I get `(Help View)', then close it with `q'
and I'll `stty erase' again
Now the keys don't work
they just enter junk
and I'll never see my work again
Cause `vi', ooh...
if `emacs' fails, then you will too
just like `netscape'...
if you press `backspace', or `lynx' with `escape'
All this talk of keyboard mapping
it's getting me down my love
With a hack in `termcap', remapping `pound'
this time `hash' can't be found
Now the keys don't work
they just enter junk
and I'll never see my work again
Cause `vi', ooh...
if `emacs' fails, then you will too
just like `netscape'...
if you press `backspace', or `lynx' with `escape'
And if you get `^H', then just let me know
and I'll `stty erase' again
Now the keys don't work
they just enter junk
and I'll never see my work again
Yeah I'll never see my work again
Yeah I'll never see my work again
Yeah I'll never see my work again
Yeah I'll never see my work again
It's never gonna work, It's never gonna work
no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
... fade
