The Re/v/olution

***Please do at least two verses/characters and some chorus bits to make the editor's life easier***


[Burr]
How does an outcast, loser, 4chan anonymous
user, dropped in the middle of a forgotton spot upon the internet
a denizen with barely any money
Go on to rewrite all you know of parody

[Laurens]
The subdued, kid in school you thought you knew
Found a good group by saying "Kotaku
are bein' some damn fools
now we're gonna show you"
From that thread, the interest and mission had to balloon

[Jefferson]
And every day, Escapist praised awful incompetent
games made by EA, but such heresy was common
Inside, we were tired and wired to fight the
Relationship between reviewers and the one who made the product

[Madison]
Then the company dealings, on-disc DLC
Obscene, sixty bucks for games broke and incomplete
Got a 7/10 and our frustration hit its peak
"Make Way for DLC!," the first volley from the /v/

[Burr]
Well the word got around, they said "This vid is insane, man!"
Singer told Kotaku "You can thank my friends at NeoGaf!"
Hey you traitor that was not your song to give away
But we hope you enjoy your fame! What's the gameplan?

[Hamilton]
We are /v/ the Musical
We're gonna call it /v/ the Musical
I know you may not think it beautiful
But just you wait, just you wait...

[Eliza]
And then Nintendo had split, had a hit
The casual audience they loved the Wii
and left us all holding the bag
gettin' sick of Acti-Blizz, and Kotick

[Full company except Hamilton (whispering)]
and /v/ is still certain that's he's kind of a dick


[Washington]
Tried to go with indie, the indie scene had just fell apart
Walking simulators got their start, sure don't count as art
A voice said "{Anonymous}, get your dignity back"
We started with foraging, torrenting some karaoke tracks

***Washington doesn't say 'Anonymous'***

[Burr]
There would've been nothing left to do
For Redditors used to losing
Could've been sent to institutions
for what they were about to do
They started writing, thriving with their bretheren at no cost
Taking back enjoyment of the hobby they presumed lost
Staging the comeback of OC that we are known for
Raging more than ever from the board that has brought you
The Shazbowl, Tortanic, and Launchpad McQuack
And for fun you can be on 4chan


[Company]
And for fun you can be on 4chan
(Just you wait)
And for fun you can be on 4chan
(Just you wait)
And for fun you can be on 4chan

On 4chan


[Hamilton]
Just you wait!

[Company]
Hello /v/ the Musical (hello /v/ the Musical)

We've been waiting all our lives for you (waiting all our lives for you)
You had never quite found
A better way to spend your time
Oh, hello /v/ the Musical (hello /v/ the Musical)
When the internet sings for you
Will they know where to point the blame?
Will they ever have played a game?
The world will never be the same

[Burr]
Every Mid-September now
See if you can find 'em
Another thread
They put identity behind 'em
From any tiny village
to the heart of Carolina

[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON]
We wrote for it

[LAURENS/PHILIP]
Me? Made art for it

[WASHINGTON]
Me? Reminder guy

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA]
Me? I bumped it

[BURR]
And me? I’m the damn fool that sang it

[COMPANY]
There’s a million things we haven’t sung
But just you wait!

[BURR]
What’s your name, fam?

[COMPANY]
We are /v/ the Musical!
