At first I was afraid, I was petrified Staring at that mountain of grey I nearly cried And I spent so many nights Thinking I could just delay But that pile grew It wouldn’t go away And now you're back (now you're back) From the store (from the store) With ten more boxes What’d you do that for?! I should’ve known that sprue addiction Would consume my soul and time Now I’m drowning in primed bases Just to make them look divine But go on now, go! Pick up that brush! Don’t let that motivation Turn to tabletop dust! Weren’t you the one who said, "Just one more squad tonight"? Did you think I’d quit? Oh no, I’ll win this fight! Oh no, not I — I will not complain! As long as I’ve got contrast paints I know I’ll paint I’ve got so much glue to give And so much drybrush left to live And I’ll paint I will paint — hey hey! It took all the strength I had Not to throw it all away That finecast broke again It ruined half my day And I spent so many hours Cursing mold lines on the floor But then I painted just one cloak And I came back for more And now I stand (and now I stand) — at the table's edge (the table's edge) With my army ranked and painted On their custom scenic ledge And if someone asks me "Was it really worth the pain?" I just smile and say, "Let me show you my new gain!" Go on now, go! Get out the wash! That grimdark glow Ain’t gonna paint itself, by gosh! You thought I’d rage-quit when The primer sprayed too thick? Well think again — I’ve learned each weathering trick! No, not I — I will paint ok! As long as I've got hobby goals I know I’ll stay alive There’s terrain left to build And a whole showcase to fill So I’ll paint I will paint — yeah yeah! I will paint! My shelves are full and I feel pride inside I will paint! With every model based and every wash applied! I. Will. paint!
