I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I don't wanna go to work
Wanna stay at home instead
And my mobile phone is ringin'
Even 'fore the day's begun
There's some luser on the phone
Needin' somebody to tell him
How to turn his PC on

You bought a box at PC World
Now you say you can't get in
There's no internet connection
You want to throw it in the bin
So well I know your problem
I know what you need to do
It ain't in the hardware
And it isn't the software
No, the problem, mate, is YOU

It's going down as an error 40
A liveware bug, a living fault
Going down as an error 40
Lord I never knew first
It was my new job
And now I'm caught
In tech support

You ask about your cuptray
And I say it's a CD
You wonder if your toaster
Will plug into USB
You ask me why your screen's dead
And what you say make me do my nut
'Cause you can't find the cable
It's dark under the table
And there's been a power cut

Put down as an error 40
A liveware bug, a living fault
I write it down as an error 40
Lord I never knew first
It was my new job
And now I'm caught
In tech support

The error's not in mem'ry
And it isn't on the screen
No, it ain't somewhere on the hard drive
And it's nowhere in between
It's not in mouse or keyboard
And it's not in VGA
'Cause I've made my diagnosis, it's
40 centimetres away
Return the thing back to its maker
Watch your problems go away

Put down as an error 40
A liveware bug, a living fault
I write it down as an error 40
Lord I never knew first
It was my new job
And now I'm caught
