The Day the Vidya Died

[Intro]
A few, few gens ago
I can still remember how that making games used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those sprites dance
And maybe people would be happy for a while

But publishers made me shiver
With every game I'd deliver
They'd lose some intellect
They'd turn off my internet

I can't remember if I cried
When my game got denied
But something touched me deep inside
The day the vidya died

[Chorus:]
So bye, bye, this here Konami
Drove the 'chinko to the brinko, but the profit was dry
And them good ole snakes were injecting some foxdie
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

[Verse 1]
Did you think that games were made with love?
And do you have faith in publishers?
If the reviews tells you so?
Now do you believe in Nintendo?
Can Sony save your favourite souls?
And can Platinum master the xbone?

[Well, I know that you're in love with games
'Cause I saw you beatin' the elite four
You both kicked off your battle
Man, I dig that Ponyta called Squirtle]—Can't think of anything

I was a lonely coding nerdy schmuk
With a cheap PC and a mind  of C#
But I knew I was out of luck
The day Konami died

[Chorus:]
I started singing bye, bye, this here Konami
Drove the chinko to the brinko, but the profit was dry
And them good ole snakes were injecting some foxdie
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

[Verse 2]
Now for ten years Nintendo's been off-track
And stocks  grow fat on a Mario attack
But that's not how it used to be
When new ip's reigned king supreme
with a cast of your likely pickings
And a choice of which to crowd please

Oh, and while the Wii was lookng down
Playstation stole it's casual crown
The boards went up in a flame
No bait was returned in vain

And while Phil Spencer saves a shipwreck
Sony sailed into the sunset
And we sang songs on the internet
The day the vidya died

[Chorus:]
We started singing bye, bye, this here Konami
Drove the chinko to the brinko, but the profit was dry
And them good ole snakes were injecting some foxdie
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

[Verse 3]
Helter skelter was beat by a westerner
Bethesda struck gold with a fallout shelter
Eight times the profit and growing fast
It landed them a shitload of cash
The devs tried to give it a pass
But Bethesda, on the profit, forced a season pass

Now the Xbone was performing good
While Iwata died too soon
We all stood up to reflect
Oh, but we never got the direct

'Cause the devs were busy with some toys
The stock holders refused our joys
Do you recall what was revealed
The day Nintendo mobile?

[Chorus:]
We started singing bye, bye, this here Konami
Drove the chinko to the brinko, but the profit was dry
And them good ole snakes were injecting some foxdie
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
