We Didn’t Make the World
Persephone Phoenix (c)
(to the tune We Didn’t Start the Fire)

Phillip Rosedale, Linden Labs gave us half of what we have.
Ghosted avies, texture hair. Still halfway there.
Beta testers broke the sims in half with tortured torus prims
Then came w-hat. PLastic Duck. Beware!

Plastic Duck, super cutie sticks a tin can on your bootie.
Now you’ve got that tin can kicking your behind.
Plastick Duck White hat Black Hat mostly luck.
SL is the ice cream truck very few can find.

We didn’t make the world.
But we made it better.
It’s the second ever
And we didn’t make the world.
But it still keeps changing
And rearranging.

Siggy made it extra hot with his sexy hot tub. Thought
sex beds might be just as cool. Made a million bucks.
Now it’s mesh and av sitters. Only fools were ever quitters.
Second life is paradise with a million fucks.

Anshe Chung was on the cover of the magazines. Remember
All that glitters isn’t gold. Least we’re always told.
Still we had the chance to make it. Rez it, texture it and bake it.
Where else can a person fake it: young inside the old.

We didn’t make the world.
But we made it better.
It’s the second ever
And we didn’t make the world.
But it still keeps changing
And rearranging.

Nebbisk Oh, Circe, and Stosh, Serena, Nancy oh my gosh
Scarp and probably dozens more. They brought art.
Words and songs and all the time shared with us before they died.
Have a happy afterlife my sweet hearts.

On the forums Lucifer, Prok and Tory, Some with fur,
some with giant scripted wings. Some Just trolled.
Back when Midnight meant a Chip, back when sailing meant a ship,
Back when main was all of it, we enrolled.

We didn’t make the world.
But we made it better.
It’s the second ever
And we didn’t make the world.
But it still keeps changing
And rearranging.

San Francisco SLC See now what you’ve done to me?
Romeo and Juliet you’ve got three days.
Astrin Few setting the stage, how we danced as Rusty played.
music filled the universe a million ways.

As the sky grew lit again, Manx, Hypatia, all my friends
In the park with Linden men, RL frays.

We didn’t make the world.
But we made it better.
It’s the second ever
And we didn’t make the world.
But it still keeps changing
And rearranging.

Wagner Au wrote up a book. BAL a second look.
Ten years later we got mesh and we ain’t done.
Baby we got miles of sims, general adult and then
moderate, so honey pie we all got fun.

Get your passport. Bring your jokes. Bring your guitar and your folks.
Take a trip to far. Leave some linden in the jar.
Pack your penis, life stream, wake up in another dream.
Seconds from the sim seam here we are.

We didn’t make the world.
But we made it better.
It’s the second ever
And we didn’t make the world.
But it still keeps changing
And rearranging.
