Spoken intro: *laughs* let me tell you folks a story about a man named Nate. Known for smashing more controllers than women. [Verse 1] Nate logged on around a quarter to nine Said, “Boys, I’m feelin’ good tonight” Twenty minutes later, controller met the floor And we all knew what was comin’ through the Discord Esh said, “Nate, man, it’s only a game” That’s about the worst damn thing you could say There was a thud, then a crack, then a moment of peace Then Nate said, “I’m good”— And we knew he wasn’t in the least [Chorus] Oh, Nate, don’t put your fist through the wall That drywall never did nothin’ at all That desk held strong through a hundred bad nights But it ain’t gonna make it through one more fight He served in the Navy, he’s sailed the blue sea But a twelve-year-old online brings him to his knees Yeah, somewhere tonight another controller will fall Oh, Nate… Don’t put your fist through the wall [Verse 2] He’s gone through three desks and a headset or two There’s a controller graveyard with a hell of a view One got spiked, one got launched down the hall One disappeared and was never found at all We hear him breathing heavy through the microphone Then suddenly the whole damn party goes stone cold A crash in the distance, Nate says, “We’re fine” Brother, that sounded like a Best Buy closing down for the night [Chorus] Oh, Nate, don’t put your fist through the wall That drywall never did nothin’ at all That desk held strong through a hundred bad nights But it ain’t gonna make it through one more fight He served in the Navy, he’s sailed the blue sea But a twelve-year-old online brings him to his knees Yeah, somewhere tonight another controller will fall Oh, Nate… Don’t put your fist through the wall [Bridge – stripped down] He’s weathered the ocean He’s weathered the waves He’s worn Navy blue And he’s stood with the brave But put that man at a redeploy tower with a minute to go… [pause] Somebody hide the furniture, boys. [Final Chorus – everybody singing] OH, NATE! DON’T PUT YOUR FIST THROUGH THE WALL! THAT DRYWALL NEVER DID NOTHIN’ AT ALL! SAVE THAT DESK, PUT THE CONTROLLER DOWN WE CAN HEAR YOUR WIFE SAYIN’, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SOUND?!” You served in the Navy! You sailed the blue sea! But apparently redsec is your greatest enemy! So take one deep breath when you’re losin’ the ball— ALL: OH, NATE… DON’T PUT YOUR FIST THROUGH THE WAAAAALL!
