[Intro] Hey kiddo, come over here Let me show you what real gaming looks like I dug a plastic relic from the attic's deepest gloom Gray machine a tangled cord inside a dusty room I blew the dust right off the cart the way I used to do So grab the second controller son, I've got a game for you We're going back to 92 the 8 bit neighborhood Where pixels were our heroes and the chiptune sounded good We hit start the screen lights up We're ready for the fight To chase the robotic bulldogs and to make the wrongs go right We're coming for you bad cat Yeah, your empire's gonna fall [Pre-Chorus] Wait, what? You woke us up for this? [Chorus] Thirty years we were sleeping in the dark Now you drag us back to work in the pixelated park Thirty years of peace without a single glitch Now you're throwing wooden crates and dropping us in a ditch Give us a break! We are too old for this run and go Throw me at the robot I am not a loaded gun [Verse 1] My boy is smashing buttons, yeah, he's pressing A and B He picks a heavy apple up and throws it right at me I'm stunned, I'm flashing red and white, I'm falling off the wire He laughs so hard he drops the pad, we're dodging 8-bit fires Friendly fire chaos in a retro danger zone The hardest co-op mission that the world has ever known We hit start the screen lights up We're ready for the fight To chase the robotic bulldogs and to make the wrongs go right We're coming for you bad cat Yeah, your empire's gonna fall [Pre-Chorus] Seriously, kid? You threw me off the cliff again? [Chorus] Thirty years we were sleeping in the dark Now you drag us back to work in the pixelated park Thirty years of peace without a single glitch Now you're throwing wooden crates and dropping us in a ditch Give us a break! We are too old for this run and go Throw me at the robot I am not a loaded gun [Bridge] It's magic in the circuitry, a bridge across the years Through all the old game over's, the laughter and the cheers I'm passing down the legacy, the joy I used to know [Outro] Okay, we admit it, the kid is stealing the show But if he drops me one more time, we're going on strike We were sleeping in the dark We're bringing back the magic to the pixelated park Give us a break! We are too old for this run We're taking down the fat cat and we've only just begun Stop throwing me! High fives Buddy level one complete My back hurts
