I'm No Superman (Scrubs)

Out the door just in time
Head down Federal Highway
Gotta reach Subang Toll by 8 am

The phone rings in the car
Everyone's working hard
No one dared to go back early

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta work or play CS
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your code online
You think you're doing fine
But the code's brittle and buggy

And that set of IDEs
Won't get you very far
Debugging will kill all your mood

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to stop
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right
== harmonica solo ==
You've finished just on time
UAT but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just fetch me back so that I don't need to walk

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free some bad habits
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll do great projects
Someday, someday
Someday we'll make cool frameworks
Someday
I'm no Superman

I Try (Macy Gray - I Try)

Bugs, changes and fears
When will all these disappear
When will they stop
I believe that greed has brought us here
And we should be gone by now, babe
But we're not
I play if off, but I'm dreaming of breaks
I'll keep my cool, but I'm grieving

I try to change team but not allowed
Try to throw letter but I stumbled
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I just 'cabut' when boss is not in
Fixed but can't compile
I try to hide my face and I stumble
Though I give excuses, it's clear
The build crumbles when I don't check in

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of CRs
And I may seem all right and smile in meetings
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
Phone calls kept coming, I can't concentrate
I'll keep my cool, but coding suffers

I try to keep things tidy, but failed
Try to organise but still messy
Though I try to hide bugs, it's clear
The testers won't let go of me now
Update QC...hang!
I try to refresh browser but it crashed
Though I try to email, it's clear
If no signoff then no more project
Here is my release notes
May you approve and bless it
Yes, I need it signed
Or else I can't deploy
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

I want to change, but I'm tired and drained
(but I'm dreaming of breaks, babe)
I'll keep on fighting, but I'm feigning

I try to check-in codes but got stuck
Try to redeploy, but got scolding
Though I raised DOD, it's clear
My change crumbles when build's rejected
(when build's rejected aahh)
Get put on the table
I try to walk away but got called back
Though I try to email, it's clear
My change crumbles when no EIDs
