lyrics
In the back of Pizza Palace a dimly lit room has been set
with gaudy carpeting and lots of video game cabinets
Of the things that draw the crowd— one particular machine
always pizza grease on the controls for players me plus three
We gather up our quarters and push buttons as we stare
the room is filled censored expletives and lots of gaming prayers
Player four beats the boss almost playing solo,
he leaves us one last quarter and he says "I gotta go"
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine
We are one player down, but we will try to soldier on
we continue feeding the machine as characters re-spawn
Player three's quarters were gone and close to loss
he said, "don't worry, I got it,"— finished that enemy like a boss
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine
We're nearly out of quarters, down to me and player two
the last quarter he bequeathed to me— final battle did ensue
We watched the credits roll, we were proud and virtuous
The victory was not mine, it belonged to all of us
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine
with gaudy carpeting and lots of video game cabinets
Of the things that draw the crowd— one particular machine
always pizza grease on the controls for players me plus three
We gather up our quarters and push buttons as we stare
the room is filled censored expletives and lots of gaming prayers
Player four beats the boss almost playing solo,
he leaves us one last quarter and he says "I gotta go"
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine
We are one player down, but we will try to soldier on
we continue feeding the machine as characters re-spawn
Player three's quarters were gone and close to loss
he said, "don't worry, I got it,"— finished that enemy like a boss
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine
We're nearly out of quarters, down to me and player two
the last quarter he bequeathed to me— final battle did ensue
We watched the credits roll, we were proud and virtuous
The victory was not mine, it belonged to all of us
You gave your life for mine
You gave your life for mine
One last quarter, time by time
You gave your life for mine

Adam Sakellarides Los Angeles, California

He sings about love, science, politics, socially awkward people, and things like that. Now armed with witty lyrics, catchy melodies, and a bunch of mediocre jokes, he's ready to entertain you. ... more
