[Intro – dry stomping beat, tense bass groove, tight guitar riff] [Verse 1] A few drinks before the game began Cheap red mask and a confidence plan Team-building war in a parking lot maze By round one I was already crazed [Verse 2] Whiskey grin and a plastic gun Everybody laughing in the sun He blew the whistle, I saw my boss And something in me said game on, no loss [Pre-Chorus] One more round One more run Everybody said Have a little fun [Chorus] (I tagged my boss 13 times) Thirteen rounds, thirteen lights (I tagged my boss 13 times) Every damn game, every damn night (I tagged my boss 13 times) Wouldn’t let the poor man play all right (I tagged my boss 13 times) Now HR wants me there at ten on time [Instrumental Break – stomping groove, riff repeats] [Verse 3] He switched teams, I still found his vest Hid by the barrels, I knew the rest The interns laughed, the sales guys screamed I chased middle management through a paintball dream [Verse 4] Not revenge, not hate, not spite Just booze and tunnel vision all night Every time he popped back in I tagged him out and wore that grin [Pre-Chorus] One more hit One more grin Somebody yelled Try somebody else this time [Chorus] (I tagged my boss 13 times) Thirteen rounds, thirteen lights (I tagged my boss 13 times) Every damn game, every damn night (I tagged my boss 13 times) Wouldn’t let the poor man play all right (I tagged my boss 13 times) Now HR wants me there at ten on time [Bridge – heavier guitars, drums intensify] Bad idea Bad event Too much booze Zero restraint Paint on my hands Beer in my blood Somebody said Poor guy, I think he’s crying [Breakdown – bass and drums only] He tried to laugh I took the bait He turned the corner Too little, too late Not with anger Not with class Just a few drinks And tunnel-vision fast [Final Chorus] (I tagged my boss 13 times) Thirteen rounds, thirteen lights (I tagged my boss 13 times) Every damn game, every damn night (I tagged my boss 13 times) Wouldn’t let the poor man play all right (I tagged my boss 13 times) Now HR wants me there at ten on time [Outro – riff slows, abrupt stop] [Spoken] New email from my boss. Subject: meeting with HR tomorrow, 10 AM. Oops... I think I’m fired.
