The Lyrics
Network +, BEA, Lotus Notes, CCNA
Microsoft, Oracle and on and on I go
MCT, MCSD, CCQE, CCSE
MCSE, CCIE, have all the Cisco
Certified Java God, Bill likes my Windows Mod
System could really die, back up in a blink of an eye
System back-up, boots clean, my downtime is un-seen
One lone virus sneaks in, boss is saying fix it
CHORUS
We're Sysad's for hire
The system got a virus so their gonna fire us
We're Sysad's for hire
Norton didn't catch it, so our boss did get it
User wants their background mauve, screen saver shut it off
I can't get the crew together, systems in shock
No one knows what went wrong, our network is really gone
Get in, boss calls, you're working off the clock
You'd have better get it clean, tell me when the networks green
You say that you're certified, tell me why the system died
Sybase, it's a mess, is the system working yet
Take a look at my face, if I cant fix it who will
CHORUS
Sat-Com, Ethernet, I aint solved the problem yet
rshell, run whoami, the system is about to die
Screaming heard down the hall, server rack about to fall
Peter Norton's on the line, says your system will be fine
Boss's calling, from home, does he need to come in
Managers don't know, that we really run the show
Who knew, could it be, a simple fix we didn't see
Inside hacker, oh-no, he's the one who's gotta go
CHORUS
Now which way, do we plan, to catch the guilty man
Will we alert him, sticky situation
Boss's calling on the phone, wont leave us alone
We missed a log in, another chance gone again
Ran all system checks, is this code written in hex
Console Sessions blown away, why'd I come to work today
CHORUS
Hard drive full, is it him, inside hackers back again
One shot to block open port who's the rock
Unix systems running fine, started snooping on the line
Boss hired a new man, brought him in to catch this man
Certified, we think he lied, told us all to step aside
making bets, who he nets, find him our job he gets
Sweat is dripping on the floors, will he really find a flaw
What's he doing making cores, I need to get out the door
We're Sysad's for hire
The system got a virus so their gonna fire us
We're Sysad's for hire
But when we are gone you will not logon and on and on...
CHORUS
Microsoft, Oracle and on and on I go
MCT, MCSD, CCQE, CCSE
MCSE, CCIE, have all the Cisco
Certified Java God, Bill likes my Windows Mod
System could really die, back up in a blink of an eye
System back-up, boots clean, my downtime is un-seen
One lone virus sneaks in, boss is saying fix it
CHORUS
We're Sysad's for hire
The system got a virus so their gonna fire us
We're Sysad's for hire

I can't get the crew together, systems in shock
No one knows what went wrong, our network is really gone
Get in, boss calls, you're working off the clock
You'd have better get it clean, tell me when the networks green
You say that you're certified, tell me why the system died

Some great lines, and I can see the work you put into this. It's ridiculously hard and you nailed the pacing in many places, but there are still a number of minor pacing gripes that I have. Given the circumstances, I'd prefer to give you a 4.5 for pacing, but I can't, so I'll round up. 'You say that you’re certified, tell me why the system died' is definitely my favorite line.
