Generation Gaming - Dan Bull

Monopoly was not for me

Chess made me stressed out

So the only way I could get down was with

Pocket electronics and bleeps

Ever since my Game Boy made toys obsolete

I’ve been a well behaved boy

That played inside and stayed off the streets

Yes, so I got my electric shocks

From Tetris blocks and Mario Land

But there wasn’t much room for much for mushrooms

I was the man, man

With the pad in my hand

Hammerin' at it while eating my breakfast

Bein' the best

That was the plan

Beatin' the rest

And leavin' them breathless

Please believe me

Nobody could beat me at Tetris

I fuckin' rock

Droppin' blocks like heads

I’m choppin' blocks

I was on some Next shit

And I still got a flame

For puzzle games

Like HD Hexic

But when the PC came

My gaming taste became eclectic

This day’s grim (It's raining)

It’s raining

What wonderful weather for gaming

The sun’s blazing (The sun’s blazing)

So let’s stay in

It’s wonderful weather for gaming

I was the geeky one

I really wanted a PC CD-ROM

And got it

8-mega RAM

A CRT screen

She was some top kit

Free moments were devoted

To keystrokes

And the odd click

Far more into dark forces then

Even the Star Wars kid

And Civilization II is a brilliant game

That you really should play and I still do today

Computer games improve your brain

It’s proven, mate

So if you behave in stupid ways

Then please refrain from blaming GTA

I really hate excuses

I may just shoot my teacher’s face

Nah, I’m already embroiled

In getting these Tesla coils

Ready in my base

The Russians are comin'

With trucks full of gunmen

I need to be safe

But maybe the green beret

Could lead the way

And see us through

At least till we replace

The PC games

With PS2

This day’s grim (It's raining)

It’s raining

What wonderful weather for gaming

The sun’s blazing (The sun’s blazing)

So let’s stay in

It’s wonderful weather for gaming

Takin' control of

Somebody else’s console

With no remorse

I was so debauched

My only thoughts

Were total scores on Tony Hawk’s

Or runnin' amok

In Smuggler’s Run

Smugglin' guns and drugs

For fun

And pullin' a gun on

Any NPC I see or stumble upon

GTA III made me inclined

To kill repeatedly

The spinal chills of Silent Hill

Are still on my mind and

Creepin' me the fuck out

Look out, pull out your sawn-off shotgun

'Cause there’s a hot zombie nurse

That wants to hurt you

And cut off your oxygen

But as much as asphyxiation

May be lots of fun

I’ve got a crush, a fixation

With PlayStation

I’m in love

So I said to the PS2

«Me and you need a breather»

Then in 3 clicks

I ordered an Xbox 360 off eBay

This day’s grim (It's raining)

It’s raining

What wonderful weather for gaming

The sun’s blazing (The sun’s blazing)

So let’s stay in

It’s wonderful weather for gaming

So we switched teams to the 360

Glitch free

Lots of slick features

HD, HDD, I don’t miss leads

Gears is my gear

But I gets my hits from Hitman

The BioShock has Mass Effect

As I sink into Oblivion

Splinter Cell’s mint as well

And Rainbow Six takes no prisoners

It’s the business

And the cover system’s fuckin' wicked

Duckin' and chuckin' a frag

Blind fire from behind

Piles of rubble and zippin' them up in a bag

I’m lovin' the lack of health packs

Puttin' a plaster on a fracture

Or a shrapnel gash

What the hell’s that?

In the new generation

of computer gamin'

You hold the left trigger half way down

Or let the computer do the aiming

So what are you complainin' for

«The Forza scoreboard’s been reset»

Shut up and improve your Gamerscore

Before you get the dreaded Red Ring of Death

This day’s grim (It's raining)

It’s raining

What wonderful weather for gaming

The sun’s blazing (The sun’s blazing)

David’s raiding

It’s wonderful weather for gaming
