Everyone is scared these days. We are living in the dawn of a new era, but it is tainted by fear. Fear of being disrupted. Fear of DDoS. Fear of being blown out of the water by game changing, next gen technology.

But really, the only people who have anything to fear are those who should be disrupted—the people clinging to their cumbersome on-prem solutions and outdated technology. They have stopped pushing the envelope. They have forgotten their bootstrap beginnings. Well, their time is up. They are on the way out. It’s time for something new, something lighter, faster, more elegant. Something cloud-based.

That’s what this song is all about.

Open Source the Future


If you’re lost in the dark, a self hosted hole
When it feels like the world has swallowed your soul
From the land of the Deutsch to the sands of LATAM
Customers are rising, they’re taking a stand
You too can break free of their control


We don’t want a freshdesk, we want a seat at the table
And we’ll fight tooth and claw as long as we’re able
Alternative brings a new source of power
Zendesk works best in our brightest hour
We’re bringing the fight in this fable



CHORUS

This year, next year, working on a dream!
In the future, it won’t seem so strange
fourteen, fifteen, 2016!
In the future, the customer experience will change


There's something new, it's sweeping the nation
It's not a drug, or a dance sensation
The kiddies are talking, the adults look mad
Cuz it's the best idea they ever had
Here it comes...kayako migration


It’s easy, it’s free, and written in PHP
It’s a secret that passes between you and me
The word on the street, unbeknownst to the man
The youth is revolting, the time is at hand
So start a 30 day trial, it’s totally free



CHORUS

This year, next year, working on a dream!
In the future, it won’t seem so strange
fourteen, fifteen, 2016!
In the future, the customer experience will change
