Did you see the east go black that Manhattan mess?
Looks like doom scare anew causing mass distress.
Grid down, a network affair,
Of the kind that goes leapin' from square to square.
Grid down, It's hard to repair,
Hard to find, start to sweepin' downed jacked up ware.

They were lookin' out in Queens for that failure stream.
It can go quite a way as it spills the beans.
Bum times the link is so lame,
When we get wheelin' threaders that can't deal with the strain.
Some lines can't sync up the same,
When the code isn't dealin' better with the drops and the gains.

You can stricture any boob; backup plan's unbaked.
There are costs they keep shovin' back, give me a break.
Run down, and out of repair,
When the grind has been heapin' tons and tons of wear.
Down times we better beware,
Think a new deal's beginning and we're snoozin' again.

Gotta start to lookin' past these cascading scenes.
Be on guard provin' game plans will be wheelin' keen.
Some signs will blink to proclaim,
'fore the threat peels our leather and it's stoppin' the train.
Grid down, we better beware,
We may find that we're spinnin' into dark despair.

Grid down, we better beware,
We may find that we're spinnin' into dark despair.
Bum times get under our skin,
If we think we're not winnin' cause we're snoozin' again.
