I’m tired of filin’ bugs that’ll never get fixed,
Or returned with ‘Cannot Repro’ next to it.
This life in QA isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
(Tell me what you want)
I want to write obfuscated code
No one else can read,
So my job security is guaranteed.
I want to roll out of bed whenever it appeals to me.
(Yeah, so what you need?)
I need a cushy coding job,
Where the pay is great.
And I never ever get asked to work late.
And stock options come in numbers too big to read.
(What else ya want?)
I want an office space where I’m all alone.
And a secretary to answer my phone.
I want a bouncer to keep my boss from messin’ with me.
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’ll get a degree,
From a cheap tech school.
I’ll pass my courses,
I’ll make nerds drool.
‘Cause we all just wanna be dev rockstars,
And live in fancy condos, drivin’ Tesla cars.
The internet is fast and the food is free.
And I can just glide past security.
And we’ll hang out at Black Hat USA.
And tell the wanna be’s to go away.
Every good programmer’s gonna wind up there,
With a long pony tail and balding hair.
And well, hey, I wanna be a dev rockstar
Hey, I wanna be a dev rockstar
I wanna be great like that dude from Apple.
And use my bodyguards to avoid hassles.
And have wanna be programmers follow after me.
(What you gonna do now?)
I’m gonna stock my crib with a giant TV.
And a fridge full of Monster Energy
Get a girlfriend to play Call of Duty with me.
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’ll get a degree,
From a cheap tech school.
I’ll pass my courses,
I’ll make nerds drool.
‘Cause we all just wanna be dev rockstars.
And live in fancy condos, drivin’ Tesla cars.
The internet is fast and the food is free.
And I can just glide past security.
And we’ll hang out at Black Hat USA
And tell the wanna be’s to go away.
Every good programmer’s gonna wind up there,
With a long pony tail and balding hair.
And we’ll hang out in the private rooms,
Of the greatest sushi bars in Shinjuku.
They’ll get you everything with a gracious smile,
But you’d better have your bank on speed dial.
Well, hey I wanna be a dev rockstar
I’m gonna write the code that’ll make me rich.
And I’ll never write a line that has a glitch.
My programs will sell far and wide,
And run on anything with Intel inside.
Well we all just wanna be dev rockstars.
And live in fancy condos, drivin’ Tesla cars.
The internet is fast and the food is free.
And I can just glide past security.
And we’ll hang out at Black Hat USA,
And tell the wanna be’s to go away.
Every good programmer’s gonna wind up there,
With a long pony tail and balding hair.
And we’ll hang out in the private rooms,
Of the greatest sushi bars in Shinjuku.
They’ll get you everything with a gracious smile,
But you’d better have your bank on speed dial.
Well, hey, I wanna be a dev rockstar
