We're not facing each other - man against man,
we are fighting through computers - dazed, so dazed
I'm staring on the screen - yeah, that's how we fight;
with a cig between the lips, and a joystick in the hand -
We're playing War Games,
we're but playin' fuckin' war!
We're fighting online,
tough and determined, to win the day - WIN THE DAY!
...show no mercy is our rule!
Just this one final fight...
Fast - blitz and bomb the enemy!
I don't ever - wanna lose!
We ain't no brothers, unknown in the war.
And you Joe Bloggs - mazed so mazed,
you read in the news - Hell, we're fighting there?
for the cig between your lips - and the beers on your hips.
We're playing War Games,
we're but playin' fuckin' war!
We're fighting online,
tough and determined, to win the day - WIN THE DAY!
...no more blood-stained dirty hands!
are caused online in foreign lands...
We do not hear the despaired cries,
of civilian people, who stand in our ways!
We're killing online - yes, we're fighting through the net,
well, sure it may be mean - but not against the act;
so, please Joe Bloggs - let your moral not betray;
or should instead of a machine - yourself be blown away ?
We're playing War Games,
we're but playin' fuckin' war!
We're fighting online,
tough and determined, to win the day - WIN THE DAY!
- And your desire for everything and much more and so FUCKIN' CHEAP!
Fair prices - blind fury!
bulk discount and - poor children!
Bio fuels and starvation;
Our welfare nation sucks foreign blood!
We're bombing far away - under magic-caps,
our viruses pervade - through every firewall.
We're fighting not for honor - nor for some dough - but
for the growth food chain - we so much adore!
We're playing War Games,
that's how we fight a war!
Who would not be glad,
that others die - and nobody cares!
Come play with us War Games,
log in, take a seat,
feel comfy - shoot, you got a new smartphone?
Neat! And so cheap, really?
Oh, gotta pay attention here, press FIRE!
Yeah, asta la vista, hahaha.
