		Core Dumped Blues
		-----------------

	Well, my terminal's locked up
		and I ain't got any Mail
	And I can't recall the last time 
		that my program didn't fail
	I've got stacks in my structs
		I've got arrays in my queues
	I've got the : Segmentation violation --
		Core dumped blues.

	If you think that it's nice
		that you get what you C
	Then go : illogical statement
		with your whole family
	Cause the Supreme Court ain't the only 
		place with : Bus error views
	I've got the : Segmentation violation --
		Core dumped blues.

	On a pdp-11
		life should be a breeze
	But with *** in the house
		even magnetic tapes would freeze
	Now you might think that unlike ***
		I'd know who I abuse
	I've got the : Segmentation violation --
		Core dumped blues.

P.S.  '***' stands for any incredibly slow maintenance personnel or
insensitive software house.  Two syllables work best.
