[Intro: Gunfire FX, distorted guitar stab] (bratatatatat) Yo — Dave's down. Dave's down again. …of course he is. [Verse 1: Rapped, fast, irreverent flow over 808s and chugging guitar] Plane drops, chute pops, Dave's already calling, "Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys — I'm falling Wrong, I'm landing School, I thought we said Rozhok," Bro we said it twelve times, you ain't never gonna stop, huh? Hits the roof, hits the deck, hits a level one pan, Sees a window, sees a silhouette, says "I got a plan" — (gunfire FX) NOPE. He's down. First sixty seconds, somebody get the man, He's crawling like a worm in a high-vis tan, Got a Micro Uzi and a dream and a busted little hand. [Pre-Chorus: Spoken-shouted, building] And I'm sprinting cross the compound dodging bullets and the blue, With the medkit that I swore I would be saving just for ME, not YOU — [Chorus: Gang chant, distorted guitars slam in, pub-singalong energy] BUT WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) HE'S A LIABILITY, A BURDEN, AND A CURSE — BUT HE'S OUR BOY, AND IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE! WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (let's go!) [Verse 2: Rapped, even faster, experimental flow, syllables tumbling] Dave went down in a doorway, Dave went down in a field, Dave went down to a dude with a frying-pan shield, Dave went down to a sniper, Dave went down to a car, Dave went down to a grenade that he cooked a bit too far, Dave went down to a chicken — wait, no, that's a typo — Dave went down to a CHICKEN DINNER squad while we were trying to lay low, Dave's mic is hot, Dave's mic is loud, Dave is telling us his life story to the whole entire crowd, The enemy team can hear him, they're using it to track us, We're getting third-partied 'cause Dave won't shut up about his taxes — (gunfire FX, glass shatter) HE'S DOWN. [Pre-Chorus: Spoken-shouted, gritted, building] And the circle's getting tighter and there's footsteps on the stair, And I love him like a brother but I swear to GOD I swear — [Chorus: Gang chant, bigger, layered shouts] WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) HE'S A LIABILITY, A BURDEN, AND A CURSE — BUT HE'S OUR BOY, AND IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE! WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! [Bridge: Tempo shift, half-time, sung-rapped, suddenly earnest] 'Cause one day Dave is gonna get the kill, One day Dave is gonna top the bill, One day Dave is gonna carry us home, Through the smoke, through the storm, through the kill-feed zone — And we'll all stand round his body with the chicken on the screen, And we'll say — "Dave. You absolute legend. Where the hell have you been?" [Pre-Chorus: Spoken, deadpan, beat drops out] … He's down again. [Final Chorus: Gang chant, full distortion, gunfire FX layered] WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (REVIVING DAVE!) HE'S A LIABILITY, A BURDEN, AND A CURSE — BUT HE'S OUR BOY, AND IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE! WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! (FOR GOD'S SAKE, DAVE!) WE'RE REVIVING DAVE! [Outro: Chant, fading, gunfire FX peppering] Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave! (he's down) Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave! (he's down) Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave! (…bloody Dave) [End]
