Childhood Friends

[Verse 1]
A long, long time ago,
I can still remember all that vidya that I used to play,
And I knew if I got top score,
I'd feel happy just once more,
And type in the intials, FCK,

But over time the lights grew dimmer,
Less customers, profits slimmer,
People staying home now,
We would be all alone now,

I told myself I wouldn't cry,
When they locked those machines up inside,
But the tears still came to my eyes,
The day the vidya died

[Chorus:]
So bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Verse 1]
Did you read the tengu's news?
And did you think that they'd win or lose?
If the service told you so?
Did you believe in the first book?
Did you rise from graves, or hunt the ducks?
And, can you teach me, the Konami code?

Well, before long Totsuko came,
Soon after opened the hueg Gate,
We grabbed our flaming swords,
And marched right into war,

We were lonely teenage virgin fucks,
Fighting for megacorps but not for bucks,
My console's great, your console sucks,
The day, the vidya died

[Chorus:]
I started singing bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Verse 2]
And then for years we had a steady stream,
Competition thrived, it was a dream,
But it got cast and we awoke,
When the leprechauns handed us god,
And made the fallen angel sob,
Then burned away when the Capsule broke,

Oh, and while the heir had massive plans,
They were cut to retread explored lands,
Because of the tycoons,
We never reached the moon,

And even the blind could see the change,
Freedom replaced by balls and chains,
Forget your dream, just make my game,
The day the vidya died

[Chorus:]
We were singing bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Verse 3]
Haters, traitors, electric dictators,
Order now we'll give it to you later,
We'll throw in some paint for free,
Warrior, rogue, and maybe mage,
We'll lock the rest up in a cage,
And you'll give us extra cash for the key,

And if you want a better score,
Or better upgrades, pay us more,
With your hard-earned cheques,
We'll get Fish on the decks,

I just need a push because I'm stuck,
I'll give rewards for an extra buck,
You'll get your game with Irish luck,
The day the vidya died,

[Chorus:]
They started singing bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Verse 4]
Oh, and then we found out we're the threat,
A generation lost on the net,
With no lives left to continue,
So come on, Jack be angry, Jack be pissed,
We were violent psychos and sexist,
With the devils feigning outrage for revenue,

Oh, and as I watched them on the tubes,
My fists were clenched, those fukken jews,
No soldier of justice,
Could stop that crazy bitch,

And as the little birds all burned to ash,
We prayed for change but found a clash,
I saw Satan laugh whilst counting cash,
The day the vidya died,

[Chorus:]
We were singin bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Outro]
I met a girl who wrote reviews,
And I asked her for some vidya news,
But she screamed rape and ran away,
I went down to the sacred board,
Where I talked the vidya years before,
But the Anons said that no-one even played,

And on the web the virgins raged,
Innovation died, and normies came,
No matter how we'd lobby,
They took over our hobby,

And the three men I admired most,
Shiggy, Gabe, and Hideo,
They sadly smiled and sold their souls,
The day the vidya died

[Chorus:]
And they were singing bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
Singin' this'll be the day that it ends,
This'll be the day that it ends,

[Chorus:]
They were singing bye, bye, to my childhood friends,
And the hookers who were lookers that we'd kill or defend,
Them good ol' boys and all the time that we'd spend,
And singin' this'll be the day that it ends
