VIDEO GAME JUNKIE
Parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem
Written by Philip Moore

Look
If you had one chance
To play video games
'Til your thumbs go numb
And your eyes burn like hell
Would you go for it?
Or just let it pass?
*
Yo
Controller's ready
Snacks there, I'm eating already
The games for the console are ready
Baseball, Shinobi and others
And my brothers, they come to see me
They say "Dude, this is getting real unhealthy
I flip them off, then play NHL FaceOff
Then stare for hours on end at Lara Croft
And Microsoft, who always thinks that they're on top
Bring me the cream of the Xbox crop
*
I play a new game hourly
PS or Atari
Puzzle or RPG
Starin' at my TV
(and) All the hot game ladies
Playin' that Tekken 3
NHL '93? No!
That's way ancient, yo
Like the old Commodore
Or the N64
But I just crave more video games
Hey, the alarm's ringin'
It must be 3 AM (I'm)
Gonna pop in Final Fantasy or somethin'
*
CHORUS
You're gonna lose feeling in both your thumbs
And your eyes'll go numb
But it's all worth it, yo
I'm gonna play Dark Cloud, Resident Evil Zero
Pokemon Sapphire and Devil May Cry
You're gonna lose feeling in both your thumbs
And your eyes'll go numb
Pop in my copy of HALO
I'm gonna play Dark Cloud, Resident Evil Zero
Metal Gear Solid 2 and Devil May Cry
You're gonna
*
(I) think I'm obsessing
Over Animal Crossing
And that Chocobo Racing
Diablo 2
To a Zelda and
Xenosaga
High Heat Baseball's boring
Unlike Metroid : Prime and Smash Brothers
Lots of people like Japan-only gaming
It must a pain to do all that translating
Hey, just as long as it's entertaining
Here's a list of games I wish they'd stop making
'Cause they're either really bad or annoying
Army Men and Turok are part of it
And every TV based game with no plot in it
I move right on to Winning Eleven 6 : World Soccer
Then, I guess I'll play NBA Street followed by James Bond : Nightfire
And Grand Theft Auto where people steal cars
*
CHORUS
*
Never missed conventions, example E3
I've read every cheat book from A to Z
But I only played Mortal Kombat long ago
Back when "new" rhymed with "Super Nintendo"
Super Mario Sunshine was on my hit list
It's a very good game, but a stupid-ass premise
Games offer alternate realities
It's sort of an escape from all of this world's calamities
You could do stuff you'll never do
Like saving a hot princess or two or
Winning the Super Bowl, winning a war
I could probably name about a hundred thousand more
Just turn on your TV
Get yourself a PC
Or a PS, an Xbox or a GC
And then you'll see how much better like life can be
And there's no such thing as playing responsivly
Day after day, week after week
I play the consoles 'til my eyes get week
I'm losing teeth, my future's bleak
But I'm getting a Game Boy Advance SP
