The Fanboys Lament by Chris Remo Lyrics
For years and years and years and years
I played this series on my chosen console
Now I cry tears and tears and tears
Because the publisher couldn't manage self-control
And a rival manufacturer walked up with money rolls
Oh why didn't they conduct an online poll
On the forum where I post?
Oh, this hurts the most
My friends and countrymen! Lend me your ears!
I'm starting a petition
This web-based effort's exactly what we need
To bring our worthy cause some recognition!
Why don't they understand
Our reasonable demands?
What importance is the fiscal take
When integrity's at stake?
They don't care about the gamers
No they're just a bunch of lamers!
Take this as a warning
I won't buy your games anymore
I'll walk right past the boxes
During my daily trips to the GameStop Store
This aggression will not stand
Know you've lost your biggest fan!
I've had enough of it
I've had enough
Of this platform-changing bullshit!
This bottom-line mentality!
This money-grubbing triviality
If the worthless sons-of-bitches
Who own the other system
Can play this game, then what's the point at all
In warring for my console?
If this is what it takes, I'll take the fall
Who's with me? I'm quitting games forever!
I'm leaving this pointless endeavor
Of maintaining platform superiority
All I ever wanted were games that are exclusive
And publishers who don't let money hats make them abusive
To their fans
Who don't sell out to the man
And now I've dried my tears
And now I'm out of here
I'm through
I played this series on my chosen console
Now I cry tears and tears and tears
Because the publisher couldn't manage self-control
And a rival manufacturer walked up with money rolls
Oh why didn't they conduct an online poll
On the forum where I post?
Oh, this hurts the most
My friends and countrymen! Lend me your ears!
I'm starting a petition
This web-based effort's exactly what we need
To bring our worthy cause some recognition!
Why don't they understand
Our reasonable demands?
What importance is the fiscal take
When integrity's at stake?
They don't care about the gamers
No they're just a bunch of lamers!
Take this as a warning
I won't buy your games anymore
I'll walk right past the boxes
During my daily trips to the GameStop Store
This aggression will not stand
Know you've lost your biggest fan!
I've had enough of it
I've had enough
Of this platform-changing bullshit!
This bottom-line mentality!
This money-grubbing triviality
