[Intro]
Yo, check the mic, one two
It's the Fiber Optic Blues, comin' at you
[Verse 1]
Data stream, flowin' smooth, connections tight
Then BAM, signal gone, dark of night
Rats be chewin', gnawin' hard, on the line
Little bastards hungry, wastin' my time
Boss man screamin', need that fix ASAP
While I'm sweatin' buckets, feelin' like a sap
[Prechorus]
Don't step on the cable, I said it twice
Now the whole damn network's payin' the price
[Chorus]
Fiber Optic Blues, got me singin' low
No signal, no data, nowhere to go
Rats and rubber, heat and stress
Fiber Optic Blues, pure mess
[Verse 2]
Hundred five degrees, sun beatin' down
Diggin' in the dirt, all over town
Cable spools empty, supply is low
Like finding water in the desert, you know
"Don't run it over!" the warning I gave
Now we tape it up, pray it can save
[Bridge]
Got that continuity, end to end
But for how long, can't depend
On folks payin' attention, or rats bein' fed
Just waitin' for the next outage instead
