The Lyrics

Not a gamer? Most of this won't make sense then. Just FYI; There's a lot of LEET-speak.
Are you goin' to play that new game?
Use the mage, warp to level nine.
Remember traps, they're always the same
Mash on 'A' and you will be fine

Take out your shotgun and shoo-oot what moves
(On the side of a hill there's a save point, you noob)
Build your rage, and look for red dots
(Talk to the sparrow that never leaves town)
Watch out for sheep or you-ou will lose
(DON'T shoot the fairy that hides in the fountain)
You got pwn3d by lots of robots
(Double-U-T-F I'm R-O-F-L)

HaXXing is fun but try not to get banned
(And if you ever lag, then we'll make you leave)
You don't age when you're in a cave
(put down that shield, or I'll 'nade your ass)
Ignore the big blister on your left hand
(The 1-UP falls, so you had better run)
You got pwn3d 'cause you didn't save

Grab your controller and make sure the game's loaded
(I'm gonna kill you if you steal my cloudsong)
Use the stage, and throw all the time
(Only use moves with high priority)
And micro a lot, it's all secret coded
(be as cheap as you can; keep lengthening your combos)
You got pwn3d, you stepped on a mine

Are you goin' to play that new game?
Use the mage, warp to level nine.
Remember traps, they're always the same
Mash on 'A' and you will be fine

I was hoping that you would put the parentheses in and you didn't disappoint me. I didn't know half the gaming terms, but I still enjoyed it a lot! 5's

Welcome back, Glen! First, the bad: I was tempted to dock you on pacing for changing up the rhyming of the "parsley, sage, rosemary and time" line, and for trying to stretch "shoot" over "cambric". Now, the good: I didn't 'cause this is one of the harder OSs I've done, and also because I didn't want you to 'nade my ass (better than nad my ass, though). Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right BA Start (you should understand that!)
