Video Game Blues (Rock)

Here it is!

Muted low guitar riff for approx. 10-12 seconds

XBox—
360,
Bundled up—with
The Wii.
Both hooked,
To my TV…
Got Net games
On my PC
And when I leave…
I take the PSP.

High riff (all instruments)

My cell phone—is loaded
With Pacman and Snake.
And if it comes down to last resort
I’ve got five bucks for the arcade.

Instrumental riff—short

CHORUS
I waste my life
Killing thumbs
And time.
And all I’ve got to show…
Is my cord…less controll…er.
‘Cause I don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to say!
Don’t know what to think…
So I’ll just play all day!

Slow drumroll

What would I be
Without them?
What would I do
If I weren’t a Halo
Sta-a-ar?

They’re games…
They’re wastes
Of money
Time and space…
Yet still I’ll…

CHORUS
Waste my life
Killing thumbs
And time.
And all I’ll have to show…
Is my cord…less controll…er.
‘Cause I don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to say!
Don’t know what to think…
So I’ll just play all da—y!

LOUD
Yeah, I gotta do this!
Or so I think!
But I gotta find a,
Place to breathe!
Quieter and slower (no instruments)…
Slow down…
Get away…
From the blues
Of these video games…

Loud drum

Hey!

Don’t know what to do
Background Don’ know, don’ know!
Don’t know what to say
Background Don’ know, don’ know!
Don’t know what to think
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do but waste my da——y!
No, no, no, I don’ know.

Sharp ending


One thing I want to say is, I did write this song, yes, and I am planning on singing it, maybe...

But I'm not a VG addict! XD I don't have a console, actually... just my PC.

Thanks for reading! All reviews are great, feel free to rip it apart.... I know I'm not great at songwriting.

Also, any suggestions for a new name would be great!

I have no idea what half of these are, but I really like it Are you going to record the song?

Eventually, once I get the instrumental music down, I hope to record it.

Maybe I'll have to do a solo and replace the drums with guitar stuff...

Or maybe I could record it with some of my friends.

I really like it. I think this will turn out to be a great song someday. kepp on writing and someday it will pay off. That's for sure. Have a good day. Also I really enjoyed reading this song!

Hiya! Lyrics?

The most random song I have ever heard!... ... ... ... excellent!

I thought it was really fun, and you're going to sing it? Good for you!

See you about!

Yeah, certainly a fun song. I have no ear for music, so I really can't imagine how this will sound. With a little restructuing, it would work as a poem as well, though. I don't have any game systems that hook up to my TV, but I do hae games on my cell phone and lots on my computer. It's kind of crazy, really, how addicted some people are to these games.

When I was in college, there were some who would spend hours at a time playing Halo. It got so bad that eventually, during a floor meeting, it was announced that people were not allowed to play video games on the common room TV unless there was nobody around who wanted to watch TV.

It is kinda hard to take this review seriously, but it really was a fun song. Sounded like something Weird Al would write, if you know what I mean.

Haha, actually, after I wrote it, I realized that it did sound like a Weird Al song, kind of. The difference is that this isn't a remix, which is what all his songs are.

A really funky song! (In other words, It was totaly awsome!!!!) It really catches you're eye/ear. Keep it up!

I like it very much, actually. It's a lot like a hybrid between something by Smash Mouth and SR-71.

It's very punk rock-ish.

Do you know the chords to it?

Unfortunately, I don't have the music written out yet, although I do know what the tune will be.

XD Nice one. This is a really good, but, random song. I really like how you did it about video games. Keep up the good work!
