'Video Game' - Lyrics

Flashback when I was nine years old
I was waiting out the rain flicking dominos
The boredom had me down, staring at the floor
I’d almost given up until my Dad came through the door

‘Here son’ he said, ‘play with this!’
I tore open the box and pulled out two joysticks
I raced to the T.V, I turned it on
And that was day I played my first game of Pong

Lights and sound
All around
Hear the crowd
Screaming out your name

Girls and boys
In the noise
God enjoys
Video games

I remember when I first saw the screen
The sight of Double Dragon was the best I ever seen
Pushing all the buttons, burning at the wrist
All my senses screamed, ‘I could get use to this!’

But after twenty minutes, it was closing time
So, I was back in the morning, I was first in line
With a smile on my face, a pocket full of change
And first call at dibs so I could do it all again

Chorus

Video games
Video, video games…

You remember you were thirteen years
Sitting on your bed, game controller in your hands
Eyes going square staring at the screen
The feeling was the happiest you’d ever been

Swinging off buildings with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man
And saving the whole world with a wrench like Ratchet & Clank
You jump in a helly, you make your first milli with cheat codes in San Andreas
And just like Super Mario
You’re always leveling up, yeah

‘YAHOO!’

Chorus

‘This one goes out to the games that raised me.
To those late nights and early mornings.
Staying up to get in a few extra levels.
For helping me be a better player than the one I was yesterday.
This one’s for you!’
