Dan Bull - Generation Gaming lyrics

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 street
Yes, I got my electric shocks from
Tetris blocks and Mario Land
Though there wasn't much room for much
But mushrooms I was the man, man
With a pad in my hand
Hammering at it while eating my breakfast
Being the best - that was the plan
Beating the rest and leaving them breathless
Please believe me
Nobody could beat me at Tetris
I fucking rock, dropping blocks like
Heads off chopping blocks
I was on some next shit
And I've still got a flame for


Puzzle games like HD Hexic
But when the PC came my
Gaming tastes 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, then got it
Eight meg of RAM, a CRT screen
She was some top kit
Free moments were devoted to keystrokes
And the odd click
Far more into dark forces than
Even the Star Wars Kid
And Civilization I I 's 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 coming 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 til 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

Taking control of somebody else's
Console with no remorse i was so debauched
My only thoughts were total
Scores on Tony Hawk's
Or running amok in Smuggler's Run
Smuggling guns and drugs for fun
And pulling a gun on any NPC
I see or stumble upon
GTA 3 made me inclined to kill repeatedly
The spinal chills of Silent Hill are still in
My mind and creeping 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 three clicks I'd 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 hit's 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 fucking wicked!
Ducking and chucking a frag
Blind fire from behind piles of rubble and
Zipping them up in a bag
I'm loving the lack of health
Packs - putting a
Plaster on a fracture or a shrapnel gash
What the hell's that? In the
New generation of computer gaming
You hold the left trigger half way down
Or let the computer do the aiming
So what are you complaining 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 suns blazing) , David's raiding
It's wonderful weather for gaming
