[Dan Bull - Blame the Game lyrics]
Oh, no! There's been another spree killing
Silly billy fool walking through a school
Shooting people willy-nilly
You beat the previous high score
By three deaths yep, cool story bro
We're not particularly impressed
You briefly got your face
Pictured in the media (Well done)
And won a place upon a list in Wikipedia
(Wow) but that's old hat
It's not what I'm here to talk about today
I came to address the lazy claims of the NRA
Look, if games are to blame
For the state of play
Then why has violence been a staple
In the USA's daily diet? As a gamer
I suggest that you should maybe try it
Stay away from the shooting range
Have a lazy lie in
If you're craving violence
Then you should play online
'Cause there's a pile of people waiting
To be slain in private you may just find it
More cathartic and relaxing
Than taking out frustrations on a
Paper target with a strap, look
I'm not insane, I'm hardly bat-shit
But if I was
It wouldn't be a game that made me
Pop a pistol at the fuzz (No)
It'd be a lack of proper medical support
And easy access to weapons
Used allegedly for sport
When a crazy man gets angry and
Invades and lays a place to waste, they will
Blame the games he may have played
But it ain't the place they
Should be taking aim
No, it ain't the place they
Should be taking aim
Don't blame the games he may have played
'Cause the debate will rage
Again and fade away
And the situation stays the same, shame
A lot of people spend a lot of time computing
What percentage of them have done
A high school shooting?
"But studies show connections between
Gaming and aggression!"
Yes, and there's a link between
Gun deaths and gun possession
You can't pull up a set
Of stats that you purloined
Then ignore evidence discrediting
Your hollow point
Every western country plays games
One of them has guns
And one of them has a gun problem
I wonder which one? (Hm-m)
It's my belief that if they
Were still alive today
The founding fathers' pounding hearts
Would cry for change right away
Even if it requires taking
Your weapon rights away
Ay, but hey maybe I should shut my limey face
Unless I'd like to taste the other
Side of the firing range
But either way, by the way, can I just say
If I could take a vacation in the USA
Then I'd just like to say that I was safe
Are you today?
When a crazy man gets angry and
Invades and lays a place to waste, they will
Blame the games he may have played
But it ain't the place they
Should be taking aim
No, it ain't the place they
Should be taking aim
Don't blame the games he may have played
'Cause the debate will rage
Again and fade away
And the situation stays the same, shame
Silly billy fool walking through a school
Shooting people willy-nilly
