Pause and Plan (The 1936 Start)

[Verse 1] The year is thirty-six, the very first day Hit the spacebar hard, I've got a game to play Four research slots, gotta choose them right Basic machine tools, keeping it tight Assigning the generals, checking the gear The grand campaign is finally here [Pre-Chorus] Open up the focus tree, where do I start? Clicking the buttons, it's a work of art Got zero political power to spend But I'm drawing up borders that never end [Chorus] We’re building Civs! Nothing but Civs! Stacking the queue for as long as it gives The factories humming, the gears start to grind Leaving the rest of the world behind It’s the early game hustle, the master design Yeah, everything's peaceful in nineteen-thirty-nine... wait, thirty-six! [Verse 2] Setting the speed up to level five Watching the Spanish Civil War arrive Send out the volunteers, get that XP Changing templates for the infantry MEFO bills ticking, economy grows Where will I strike first? Nobody knows [Bridge] Waiting on the Silent Workhorse to hire Building an engine, fueling the fire The tension is low, the map is so clean Just a man and his mouse and a glowing screen [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] We’re building Civs! Nothing but Civs! Stacking the queue for as long as it gives The factories humming, the gears start to grind Leaving the rest of the world behind It’s the early game hustle, the master design Getting ready for action, walking the line! [Outro] Take off the pause. Let the clock run. Speed five, baby. The game has begun. (Fade out with a mechanical drum beat)
