Another DCamp Song

[Peter Trudelle]

I couldn't let Fred be the only one to submit a song...

This Web was Made by You and Me
(with deep apologies to Woodie Guthrie)

Chorus:
This web is your web, this web is my web
From the project kickoff, till the bits get pushed out
From the product manager, to the QA tester
This web was made by you and me

As I was surfing the info highway
I saw before me an endless buy-way
I saw below me the Silicon Valley
This web was made by you and me

Chorus

I've auctioned and gambled, and had my clicks tracked
To the sparkling pixels of her diamond popups
And all around me a voice was nagging
This web was made by you and me

Chorus

The spam came pouring as I was scrolling
The get rich quick schemes and the porn stars coupling
As the trial started, the plaintiff alleged
This web was made by you and me

Chorus

As I was surfin' - I had a breakdown
And an error popped up 404 no page found
So my shopping cart I had to abandon
Now that site was made by you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of Sunnyvale - In the shadow of Google
Near the free wifi - I see my users
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this web's still used by you and me.
