Browser War, what is it good for?

[Yo Grark]

Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Browser Wars is something that I despise
For it means you can kiss standards good-bye
For it means tears in thousands of coders eyes
When they have 2 sets of code to mess up their lives

Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Browser War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
Browser War
Friend only to the patent maker
Browser War is the enemy of all Webkind
The thought of another browser war blows my mind
Handed down from Corporation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants standards to die

Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Browser War has shattered many OSS giver's dreams
Made their widgets disabled and broke, Free Time is too precious to be coding indoors each day
Browser War can't give family life it can only take it away

Browser War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
Browser War
Friend only to the patent maker
Open Source, Standards and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord there's gotta be better than MS'S way
That's better than
Browser War

Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Browser War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
