The Lyrics
Challenge runs in videogames can be interesting. Sticking with one weapon-type, never using healing items, being naked, whatever. If you don't wanna do that, though...that's fine!
"Ev'ry run-through is diff'rent", don't get why that's needed
Which means you belittle all my intelligence
Challenge is what you're seekin'? Go do that if you wanna
But just please don't belittle the fact that I won't now
Really hate it when you tell me what to do
Like I'm playin' it all wrong
Gonna say it (made me say it): when you tell me what to do
I'll keep playin' it all stock
Don't want your restrictions, so (please back off)
It's unneeded pressure, so (please back off)
Sure, I get that you find it fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so please back off
I play games how they meant it, replay it or move on
You act like that's so evil or at least "lame of you"
Full enjoyment's needin' low-heart runs? No, don't wanna
Go 'head and belittle me but I won't change now
I'll keep playin' in the way they want me to
I'm not playin' it all wrong
Call me basic (sure, I'm basic), you won't tell me what to do
I'll keep playin' it all stock
Don't want your restrictions, so (please back off)
I don't need more pressure, so (please back off)
Ev'rybody has their own fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so please back off
Oh-oh, why can't you let go?
It takes more skill, I know, to play a zero-gun Halo
Still hate your restrictions, so (please back off)
I don't need that pressure, so (please back off)
It ain't wrong, it just ain't my fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Which means you belittle all my intelligence
Challenge is what you're seekin'? Go do that if you wanna
But just please don't belittle the fact that I won't now
Really hate it when you tell me what to do
Like I'm playin' it all wrong
Gonna say it (made me say it): when you tell me what to do
I'll keep playin' it all stock
Don't want your restrictions, so (please back off)
It's unneeded pressure, so (please back off)
Sure, I get that you find it fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so please back off
I play games how they meant it, replay it or move on
You act like that's so evil or at least "lame of you"
Full enjoyment's needin' low-heart runs? No, don't wanna
Go 'head and belittle me but I won't change now
I'll keep playin' in the way they want me to
I'm not playin' it all wrong
Call me basic (sure, I'm basic), you won't tell me what to do
I'll keep playin' it all stock
Don't want your restrictions, so (please back off)
I don't need more pressure, so (please back off)
Ev'rybody has their own fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so please back off
Oh-oh, why can't you let go?
It takes more skill, I know, to play a zero-gun Halo
Still hate your restrictions, so (please back off)
I don't need that pressure, so (please back off)
It ain't wrong, it just ain't my fun (please back off)
Don't want your restrictions, so
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I do wonder if someone's done a no-gun Halo run. I had to check, there is a melee option, it's possible.

I hate to ruin their fun, but the whole point of my hyper-commenting is to encourage people to be bolder in their comments as they relate to the parody. Sorry, I lied. I INTEND to ruin their fun. Yet I am somewhat at a disadvantage on this one. I wasn't familiar with the OS, I couldn't tell from the lyrics what the song was about, and I'm not that much of a video gamer. So at first, I wasn't always confident that I had the location match correct. You have an amazing ability to extend a single sentence across multiple OS lines. Even across two paragraphs (usually as designated from azlyrics.com). Thankfully, your commitment to a proper syllable count gave me all that I needed to reconcile the two versions. Thank you. And thank you for submitting this. Good job!
PS I got hit by the graffiti squad today too.
Ignoring all of the...stuff, I'm glad you took the effort to make a solid comment despite the restrictions (heh), Glenn. Always nice to see you drop by even when my shuffle technique of picking songs don't always give me the biggest hits (come back at the end of the year for that, trust me). Thank you!
