Lyrics

Rocket launcher, rail gun, BFG 9001
Never saw it coming and I never had a chance
Bad enough being dead, Sub-Zero pulled off my head
Master Chief is doing his victory dance
Lost Asia in Risk, Diablo burnt me to a crisp
Even though I had the godly plate of the whale
Two pair, eights and kings, Sauron got the One Ring
Getting dysentery on the Oregon Trail
Harry Potter came up short dueling with Voldemort
Elspeth Holiday met the Blair Witch
Spider-Man showed such aplomb 'til he met that pumpkin bomb
Mr. Incredible didn't throw the switch
Cliff racers, cave bats, stupid frickin' giant rats
Deadly piranha poodles or soldier ants
You were eaten by a Grue, ha, the Wumpus got you
Nancy Drew and Scooby-Doo teabagged in Halo 2
Dead again
Splattered all over a rendered killing floor
Dead again
Let me respawn and I'll be back for more
Dead again
Let me get to the checkpoint then you can do your worst
Dead again
Then I'll reload but this time I'll shoot first
My marble plummets from a height, should have rolled it to the right
Jumped through lots of traffic but then fell off a log
Russian cubes from the sky and I let 'em stack too high
Pushed right off the screen by a humanoid frog
T-Rex got me, now I'm toast, chased down by a blinking ghost
Landed on some spikes and dropped every last ring
Bitten by a fang slug, Jafar zapped my flying rug
Trampled in a bog by a barbarian king
Mechanized war bots, Mudokon slingshots
Centipede dropping a flea on my head
Couldn't fly as Alfred Chicken, Duke Nukem kept on kickin'
Fought Guy of Gisbourne with only some bread
Skeletons hit me twice, dragon breath cased me in ice
Couldn't line up all the jewels three in a row
Shot up by Miami cops, beaten with karate chops
Kept on missing platform hops and the timer never stops
Dead again
How come these worlds have so many bottomless pits?
Dead again
And everyone that I meet wants me blown to bits
Dead again
Reincarnation one bite at a time
Dead again
It's so embarrassing to be killed by green slime
Real life goes on until you're dead or so I'm told
Injury, catastrophe, or simply growing old
Fantasy's supposed to be where you can find your dreams
But all I find is game designers hooked on players' screams
Smothered by a boa constrictor, drawn and quartered by a lich
Or eaten by a cat while dodging Beethoven's Fifth
My flying ostrich drowned, monkeys throwing barrels down
Torn apart by creatures out of legend and myth
Zombies got a hold of Jill, nurses up in Silent Hill
All those German snipers on the beach at Omaha
Swallowed by the sandworms, infected by some nasty germs
Didn't slap the leather when I heard him say "Draw!"
Running from Koala Kong, made a turn that's really wrong
Sephiroth's supernova fried us where we stood
Broiled in a lava flow, squashed by Super Mario
Didn't make my saving throw against lawful good
Thirty zillion space machines blowing up in cutscenes
I actually found a way to die in Myst
Ninja swords decapitate, plasma guns obliterate
Pocket nukes annihilate, reboot transubstantiate
Dead again
Inching ahead until once more I choke
Dead again
The funeral bills would leave my whole state broke
Dead again
Something is trying to chew off both my legs
Dead again
Who in the hell dreams up these Easter eggs?
Dead again
All of the guys at work think I'm a freak
Dead again
They watch golf and NASCAR every week
Dead again
They'll never understand what I call fun
Dead again
'Cause any of my lives is cooler than their one
