text:           A long long time ago
text:           I can still remember
text:           when my laptop could connect elsewhere.
text:
text:           And I tell you all there was a day
text:           the network card I threw away
text:           had a purpose - and it worked for you and me.
text:
text:           But 18 years completely wasted
text:           with each address we've aggregated
text:           the tables overflowing
text:           the traffic just stopped flowing...
text:
text:           And now we're bearing all the scars
text:           and all my traceroutes showing stars.
text:           The packets would travel faster in cars
text:           the day the routers died.
text:
text:           So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55.
text:           Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die.
text:           IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh,
text:           but I s'pose we'd better give it a try.
text:           I suppose we'd better give it a try.
text:
text:           Now did you write an RFC
text:           that dictated how we all should be?
text:           And did we listen like we should that day?
text:
text:           Now were you back at RIPE 54
text:           where we heard the same things months before
text:           and the people knew they had to change their ways?
text:
text:           And we knew that all the ISPs
text:           Could be future-proof for centuries.
text:           But that was then not now.
text:           Spent too much time playing WoW.
text:
text:           Oh there was a time we sat on IRC
text:           making jokes on how this day would be.
text:           Now there's no more use for TCP
text:           the day the routers died...
text:
text:           So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55.

text:           I suppose we'd better give it a try.
text:
text:           I remember those old days I mourn
text:           sitting in my room, downloading porn.
text:           Yeah, that's how it used to be...
text:
text:           When the packets flowed from A to B
text:           via routers that could talk IP.
text:           There was data that could be exchanged between you and me.
text:
text:           Oh but I could see you all ignore
text:           the fact we'd fill up IPv4.
text:           But we all lost the nerve
text:           and we got what we deserved!
text:
text:           And while we threw our network kit away
text:           and wished we'd heard the things they say.
text:           Put all our lives in disarray
text:           the day the routers died...
text:
text:           So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55.

text:           I suppose we'd better give it a try.
text:
text:           Saw a man with whom I used to peer,
text:           asked him to rescue my career.
text:           He just sighed and turned away.
text:
text:           I went down to the net cafe
text:           that I used to visit everyday.
text:           But the man there said I might as well just leave.
text:
text:           And now we've all lost our purpose,
text:           my cisco shares completely worthless...
text:           No future meetings for me
text:           at the Hotel Krasnapolsky.
text:
text:           And the men that make us push and push -
text:           like Geoff Huston and Randy Bush.
text:           Should've listened to what they told us
text:           the day the routers died...
text:
text:           So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55.
