[middle eastern introduction] [Verse 1] The country of Absurdistan collapsed one fateful day Not with fire, not with fury, but in the dumbest way The dictator met his end—sliced in many pieces The markets crashed, the economy uncertain, the people were afraid [Pre-Chorus] They cried, “There’s gotta be a way! A miracle, a plan, a saving grace!” to save our Absurdistan! [Chorus] Then came the glow of a tiny screen A miracle wrapped in a loading screen “Play a game, get rich today!” And they all just tap tap tapped their lives away Oh Absurdistan, you flew too high Didn’t burn—you just… tapped and died [reflective] you just tapped and died [Verse 2] One citizen scrolling late at night Found an ad that changed their plight “Play Solitaire! Or Monopoly Go! Cash in quick, watch your fortune grow!” Well word spread fast like digital gold “Why plant crops when the phone pays more?” the phone would pay more Fields went empty, tools went cold Everyone leveling up, nobody growing old [Pre-Chorus] “No more work, no more sweat! We’re the richest nation because of the games on the net!” [Chorus] They tapped and swiped into the sun While real life slowly came undone Coins and gems filled every hand But nothing was made in Absurdistan Oh Absurdistan, what a way to go Starved with pockets full of virtual dough [Bridge – Spoken / Breakdown] “No farmers?” “Nah, too busy—daily rewards reset in ten minutes.” “No builders?” “Upgrading my castle in-app, bro.” “No food?” “…Wait—food isn’t in the premium bundle?” [epic Guitar Solo ] [Verse 3] The money piled up, but the shelves were bare No bread, no crops, no shampoo for hair They stared at screens with hollow eyes Still chasing points as the last one died No war drums beat, no sickness came No natural disaster staked its claim Just high scores glowing in the night As civilization tap tapped then died [Final Chorus] They tapped their way into the grave A nation no one tried to save Not by steel, not by flame But by playing stupid mobile games Oh Absurdistan, take a bow You’re the richest dead country now [Outro] So if an ad says “Easy pay…” Maybe… just maybe… don’t hit “Play” [epic middle eastern ending]
