Gamers Rise Up

about

This was my entry for the Gear Gods 200K Songwriting contest. While listening, his gong hammer attempted to destroy itself to prevent him from rejecting my song, but alas, his brute force and rage won the day.

This song is about gamers rising up.

lyrics

In this crooked world of lies we are made to serve
The nanobots have activated our mind control
Inflicting suicidal thoughts on a desperate herd
Society will now repent when the gamers rise up

Counter-Strike was the name of the game
The LAN parties we had will never be the same
Since the virus came and took all our friends away
Serve the hive or serve yourself
In the end it doesn't matter, anyways
Since the virus came, and took all our dreams away

Zero-sum, either way you lose
Terrified of right or wrong so I'll let you choose
Decide upon the fate you want, if you justify
Your malintent to rule the world and appease the crowd

Gamers rise up
Gamers rise up
Gamers rise up
Gamers rise up
Let's go

You don't have to be somebody you aren't anymore
Time has come to free yourself, take arms, prepare for war

Destruction - the menace
You cannot confine us
We will rise, in glory
Witness me: the battle cry of tech support

No more a slave to you
I'm above the funky fumes of this dying world
A corporate drone can be controlled, but I wrote the rules
There's no exception in the code for you to exist

A little less, a little more
Working from home can be such a chore
Since the virus came, and took all our jobs away
A rat race with no escape
A metaphor for society
Since the virus came, and took all our lives away

Since the virus came, and took our hopes
Since the virus came, and took our dreams
Since the virus came, and took our jobs
Since the virus came, and took our lives

So gamers rise up
