As I walk through the valley of the shadow of katrina
I take a look at my site and realize there’s nothing left
Cause I’ve been drinkin and smokingg so long that
Even my clients thinks that my support is gone

But I ain’t never designed a site that i didin’t invoice
Me be treated like a contractor, you know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you coding, and where you uploading
Or you and you site might be posting 404

I really hate to code, but I gotta host
As they call I see myself in the DNS smoke, fool
I’m the kinda toad the little developers wanna be like
On my sites in the night
Googling code in the street light

been spending most their lives
Living in the developer’s Paradise
been spending most their lives
Living in the developer’s Paradise
KEEP spending most our lives
Living in the developer’s Paradise
KEEP spending most our lives
Living in the developer’s Paradise

Look at the site, they got me facin
I can’t host a normal site, I was raised by the PHP
So I gotta be down with the apache team
Too much drinkin’ got me chasing clients

I’m a educated toad wit servers on my mind
Got my tablet in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a low down designia, set-trippin back
And my servers is down, so don’t call my answering service, fool

Unemployment ain’t nuthin but a heart beat away
I’m hosting sites do-or-host ah, what can I say?
My uptime is twenty three now, but will I live to see twenty-fo’?
The way things is goin I don’t know

Tell me why are we — so blind to see
That the ones we host — are you and me

been spending most their lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise
been spending most their lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise

keep spending most our lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise

Servers and the hosting, hostings and the servers
Site after ste, hour after hour
Everybody’s bitchin, but half of them ain’t refreshing
It’s goin on in the DNS, but I dont know what’s resolving

They say I got ta call, but nobody’s there to amswer
If they cant call back, how can they call me?
I guess they can’t — I guess they won’t
I guess they front; that’s why I know my sites are out of luck, fool

They been spending most their lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise
They been spending most their lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Developer’s Paradise

Tell me why are we — so blind to see
That the ones we host — are you and me
Tell me why are we — so blind to see
That the ones we host — are you and me
