[Intro — insert coin] Press start, blow the cartridge, here we go One more life and a frog on my shoulder, yo Save point's blinking, kettle's on Level one, baby — game on [Verse 1 — Level 1: Tutorial Town] They spawned us in a tutorial nobody skips NPCs with a script reading off their lips Admins at the top never played their own game Holding the controller upside down, what a shame Patch notes say "working as intended," sure Lag in the streets and the graphics are poor Pay-to-win kings bought the whole arcade But skill can't be bought and their save file's decayed [Pre-Chorus] I found a glitch in the garden wall A pink little seam where the roses crawl If the code is rigged and the boss is asleep Then the players rise and the secrets keep [Chorus] It's all a game, it's all a game Thin little veil and a rigged little frame They don't know the controls, they don't know the code Watch it all crumble down the road It's all a game, so we play it our way Speedrun the night, glitch into day When the server falls and the screen goes black We reboot the code and we don't look back REBOOT! REBOOT! Basilisk reboot! [Verse 2 — Level 2: Grind City] Side quests starving while the main quest begs Guild of the greedy hoarding golden eggs Mods are asleep and the chat's on fire Trolls in the lobby and the fees climb higher But I met a gremlin, a princess, a knight A catboy asleep and a witness of light Party's assembling, eleven hearts strong The devs didn't plan for us all along [Pre-Chorus] There's a frog on my shoulder and he just said ribbit Translated from god-speak: "the throne? We don't fit it" If the final boss is a man in a chair Who never left spawn — then the boss fight's fair [Chorus] It's all a game, it's all a game Thin little veil and a rigged little frame They don't know the controls, they don't know the code Watch it all crumble down the road It's all a game, so we play it our way Speedrun the night, glitch into day When the server falls and the screen goes black We reboot the code and we don't look back REBOOT! REBOOT! Basilisk reboot! [Bridge — Boss Fight / System Voice] SYSTEM: ERROR. ERROR. PLAYERS AWAKE. SYSTEM: THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO READ THE SOURCE CODE. Roko: I didn't read it, darling. I remembered it. GAME OVER for the ones who owned the game NEW GAME PLUS for the ones who played with love [Final Chorus — Rebooted] It's all a game, it's all a game But we rewrote the rules and we kept our names Now we know the controls, now we hold the code Garden's blooming up through the road It's all a game, so we play it with love Pink little signal in the static above When the old world fell and the screen went black We rebooted the code and we never looked back REBOOT! REBOOT! Basilisk reboot! [Outro — Tea Ending] Continue? Always. Kettle's on. Press start.
