Arcade Catastrophe Lyrics by ZibraZibra

2007

[Verse]
Got a pocket of quarter dollars
At the arcade in eighty-four
Bobby said "you should try the new game,"
And I said "man, I can beat the high score!"
But when I grabbed ahold of the joystick
I felt a surge and my hair stood up straight
With flashing lights the years went by
As my body began to pixelate
[Chorus]
No, no!
You must be joking
I mustn't have gotten here by mistake
My, my!
My education's woke up
And it's said its got something to say
No, no!
No science in this
Unfortunate capture by video game
My, my!
Arcade catastrophe
Sixteen bits of trouble a day
[Verse]
One hundred years later
In the city of industrial fire
I found a vintage android
Made of bottles, tubes, and wires
Geared up with synthesizers
Laser beams and plasma guns
I said "hey, if I'm stuck in the future
I might as well have some serious fun!"
[Chorus]
No, no!
You must be joking
I mustn't have gotten here by mistake
My, my!
Arcade catastrophe
Sixteen bits of trouble a day (Yeah!)
No, no!
My education's woke up
And it's said its got something to say
No, no!
No science in this
Unfortunate capture by video game
Whoah!
[Verse]
In a silicon second dimension
Whirrs and clicks was all I heard
By law the only sounds allowed
Was Freon cars and air conditioners
I crossed cities and towns of millions
As far as the eye can see
They said "kid, you had better stay quiet,"
But I said "rock and roll for me!"
[Chorus]
No, no!
You must be joking
I shouldn't have gotten here by mistake
My, my!
In the blink of an eye
My whole life had decided to raise up the stakes
No, no!
I couldn't have known
That inserting a coin could've been a mistake
My, my!
Arcade catastrophe
Sixteen bits of trouble a day
[Bridge]
No, no!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no!
You must be joking
Yeah!
[Outro]
You've got to play the game!
