SLOAN RANGER'S LAMENT
THE REVOLT OF THE SLOAN RANGERS

(dedicated to the memory of Alfred P. Sloan and Bob Dylan)

Read our report if you can,
Read at your own chosen speed,
Klivington won't jump for joy,
It won't fulfill his need.
He says Sloan's looking for a book -
It need not be too clear -
With forward bold and chapters six
To set them on their ear.
A book to show them where their money went.
But it ain't ours boys
No! No! No! It ain't ours boys.
It ain't ours you're looking for boys.

We aren't writing one and now the money's spent.

The paradigm is changing boys
Tell that to Thomas Kuhn
For philosophers and programmers
A Sloan Foundation boon
Support more science cognitive
Give me another grant
Stop shipping us from coast to coast
Don't make the airlines pant.
A breakthrough each and every year
But it ain't us boys
No! No! No! It ain't us boys
Not us they have to fear boys.

We're tired of sitting in jet planes,
We'll do our work at home.
There are no concessions to be made,
Anyway we'll soon be gone
We publish now in journals straight
Proceedings aren't for us.

To justify the ways of God to man
[Klivington has need to save his ass]
