Just One More Match

“Just One More Match” [Intro] Okay… I’m only gonna play for thirty minutes. That’s it. One match. One game. Totally responsible adult behavior… Six hours later… Oops. ⸻ [Verse 1] Logged in at seven, said I’d go to bed at eight, Now it’s two in the morning and I’ve accepted my fate, Got snacks on my desk and a drink by my side, My responsibilities are taking a temporary ride. My teammates are yelling, “Push the objective!” Meanwhile I’m collecting shiny things, Very effective. I opened one quest, Then another appeared, Then another and another… How did I end up here? My pet’s staring at me, Giving judgmental looks, Like, “Human, please explain why you forgot all your books.” I said, “Just one more mission,” That’s a dangerous phrase, It’s the gaming equivalent of getting lost for days. ⸻ [Chorus] Just one more match! That’s what I always say, Then suddenly the sun comes up, And I’ve gamed the night away. Just one more quest! Just one more level too, Next thing I know it’s breakfast time, And I’ve forgotten what day we’re due! Just one more match! It’s a beautiful lie, Because every gamer knows we’re playing Until our batteries die! ⸻ [Verse 2] I bought a game on sale, Didn’t even need it, But it said ninety percent off, So my wallet couldn’t beat it. My backlog is enormous, A mountain of shame, Yet somehow I keep buying Every brand-new game. Character creator got me trapped for three hours, Adjusting eyebrows, Cheekbones, And magical powers. The actual adventure? I haven’t even started. But my character looks fabulous, So that’s the important part. Then I accidentally walked into a boss fight, Got launched across the map at the speed of light, The boss hit me once, I became a shooting star, Respawned wondering how I got that far. ⸻ [Chorus] Just one more match! That’s what I always say, Then suddenly the sun comes up, And I’ve gamed the night away. Just one more quest! Just one more level too, Next thing I know it’s breakfast time, And I’ve forgotten what day we’re due! Just one more match! It’s a beautiful lie, Because every gamer knows we’re playing Until our batteries die! ⸻ [Bridge] Lag! No, it wasn’t my fault! Lag! I totally would’ve won! Lag! Stop laughing at me! …Okay maybe I walked directly off the cliff. Twice. Maybe three times. ⸻ [Rap Verse] I got loot, got gear, Got legendary drops, Got distracted by a squirrel And forgot to fight the boss. Inventory full, Can’t pick up a thing, But somehow I collected Thirty-seven frying pans and string. My squad says “Focus!” I’m trying my best, But there’s treasure over there And I must investigate the chest. Achievement unlocked: “Wasting Time Professionally,” Honestly, That one’s basically made for me. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Just one more match! The greatest lie ever told, We’ll say it when we’re twenty, We’ll say it when we’re old. Just one more quest! Just one more game tonight, Then suddenly it’s six A.M. And the birds are way too bright. Just one more match! Everybody sing along, Because every gamer’s bedtime Is somehow always wrong! ⸻ [Outro] “Are you coming to bed?” “Yeah!” “…When?” “After this match.” Defeat screen appears. “Okay… after the next one.” 🎮😂🕹️
