Video Games
When I was young I played video games
Castles and dungeons and damsels to save
Every night in the dark I would play
I played on a flickering color TV
I played with my forehead pressed up to the screen
And I played until I would catch fire
And for a little while I knew that I couldn't lose
Nothing in the world could tear me away
When I grew up I played video games
In basement apartments and empty arcades
And I learned it was all just a joke
There were no kingdoms or damsels to free
No guardian angels that I'd ever seen
And no gods but the ones that we make
But for a little while I knew that I couldn't lose
Nothing in the world could tear me away
Life isn't much like a video game
Sometimes it's hard and there's nowhere to save
And you can't start it over again
So every day i play video games
I guess I don't know what you want me to say
I just don't want to cry anymore
Castles and dungeons and damsels to save
Every night in the dark I would play
I played on a flickering color TV
I played with my forehead pressed up to the screen
And I played until I would catch fire
And for a little while I knew that I couldn't lose
Nothing in the world could tear me away
When I grew up I played video games
In basement apartments and empty arcades
And I learned it was all just a joke
There were no kingdoms or damsels to free
No guardian angels that I'd ever seen
And no gods but the ones that we make
But for a little while I knew that I couldn't lose
Nothing in the world could tear me away
Life isn't much like a video game
Sometimes it's hard and there's nowhere to save
And you can't start it over again
So every day i play video games
I guess I don't know what you want me to say
I just don't want to cry anymore
