Some people say that game devs can't be artists
They are artists
(we make art)
Some people say that we are not artists
(we're artists)
Hurts our feelings
(Hurts our feelings when you say we're not artists.)

Some people say that videogames aren’t art
Our game are art
(And they are games)
What you’re about to hear next are true stories
(real experiences)
And Artistically rendered
(They’re much better this way)
All true,
Bring the pain

I make a game for my mates
with a cerebral concept
keep the thematics complex
and with a modern context
But none of them can finish the tutorial
They all say the game’s unplayable

I got hurt feelings! I got hurt feelings!
They treat it like malarkey
No one is smashing the patriarchy
I got hurt feelings!
I got hurt feelings!
Guess they won’t be getting the invite to our launch party!

There’s a trigger warning that comes with this crime
I was drawing some more art to post up online
But the team told me that we were running behind
And that we’d have to stay late to code in twine

I got hurt feelings!
I got hurt feelings!
(We don’t have to work all night! Who has that time?)
I got hurt feelings!
I got hurt feelings!
(we all know storytelling is the hard part)

There’s a fun new feature to tease,
But we're running low on production fees.
(ding)
so click on donate please.

I got hurt feelings!
I got hurt feelings!
(Being an artist is never easy, our fans understand that)

I will tweet at my friends, to buy my new game,
But they’re all too busy to play my new game
I check their steam pages, to see their new games,
They’re all playing new games, but not my game.

I got hurt feelings!
I got hurt feelings!
(The world’s clearly not ready for my trans-humanist queer characters of color.)

Have you ever used sound that’s in only 8-bit?
Have you ever used bright 2D retro graphics
Have you ever pandered in your bio on twitter
Have you ever been dissed by some mean troll shitter?

Ever been told walking simulators are boring and lame?
And have you actually made a game?
Have you ever scammed dosh by claiming that you were sick?
Have you ever told a troll to go choke on your dick?

Tears of a game dev
(Hashtag tears)
I’m crying tears of a game dev
(Tears of an indie)
These tears, of a game dev
(Tears of a game dev)
These tears of a game dev...
