It Was a Very Good Gen

when i was only five
it was a very good gen
it was a very good gen for platformers
and beat em up fights
we'd stay up all night
on the mega drive
when i was only five

when i was just a tween
it was a very good gen
it was a very good gen for sleepovers
with co-op split screen
demos in magazines
drank so much caffeine
when i was just a tween

when i was twenty-some
it was a very good gen
it was a very good gen for clans in online
to battle other teams
we'd win by any means
what had i become
when i was twenty-some

but now i’m thirty-odd
i'm far too old for playing games
and i regret so much time, a wasted life
i have no friends
too late to make amends
can’t go back to when
it was a very good gen
