The Day That Gamers Died

The Day Gamers Died
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAsV5-Hv-7U

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how the vidya used to make me smile
And I knew if I got into the industry
I could make some games for /v/
and they'd be happy for a while

But the journos came and made us shiver
sparking rage with every post they delivered
Bad news on our doorstep
We couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if anyone cried
When all those journos went out and lied
Something touched me deep inside
The day the gamers died.

So bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

Do you have a game that you love
and do you have faith in Gave above?
If the anons tell you so?
remember when they said Rock and roll
Would damn your immortal soul
As well as any violent show

Now I know that you're angry too
'Cause I saw you ripping on literally who
You all wanted to win
So you moved past Zoe(y) Quinn

I was just an average gaming dude
CoD, Halo, and GTA too
But I knew what I had to do
The day the gamers died.

I started singing: bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

Now for 5 years we all browsed /v/
While the feminists cried misogyny
That's how it always used to be.
Then Moot became the great cuck queen
And hired mods who do it for free
and they banned discussions on G-G

and while we settled on 8chan
Anita reared her ugly head again
She and Wu took to the news
And for a moment we thought we'd lose

So while they bastardized Marx
and compared themselves to Rosa Parks
We played vidya in the dark
The day the gamers died.

we were singin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

We took on disrespectful nod
emailing advertisers about what these sites had done
8 ads down and falling fast
Emails sent out en mass
Thanks to the journos being barbaric and rash
They sent their own sites to the trash

GamerGate dominated with NotYourShield
But the journos refused to yield
Do you remember the corruption revealed
The day the gamers died.

we started singin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

We were all grouped in one place
While 4chan fell to become a safe space
We vowed never to go back again
So come on, anon, be sure to stick
with the plan that made Gawker sick
Cause money is the journos' only friend

But as I watched Wu take the stage
My hands typed in fits of rage
No amount of facts to tell
could break their victim spell

So as the fire rose into the night
The news declared the feminists right
I saw Brianna cackle with delight
The day the gamers died.

She was singin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

So on the day Wu took the news
I asked /gg/ for some happy news
They called me a fag and turned away
I went down to the Steam store
where I drained my wallet once before
But I couldn't find any games I wished to play

And in the streets the journos screamed
The feminists cried and the shill schemed
Not a word from us was spoken
Our morale had been broken
And the three games /v/ hated most
Fez, Gone Home, and CoD: ghosts
They were what the journalists boast
The day the gamers died.

They were sayin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
This'll be the day the gamers die
This'll be the day the gamers die

We were sayin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
Wanted to play a good game but the journos proclaimed
That they were dead, so said that girl unnamed:
And This'll be the day the gamers die
