I don’t want to go to school today,
Just want to stay home and play
Video games, video games
That sun is out,
It’s warm today,
I’ll open my blinds,
While I play
Video games
Mumma says I’m missing out
On all the things that life’s about
But every day, in games I play
I’m making new friends on the way
There’s even some that are her age
So, I don’t think it’s just a stage
That I play
Video games, video games
Mumma signed me up for sport
Begged me please, give it a thought
She doesn’t see its sport I play
When I’m in my room all day
With my
Video games, my video games
Even if I go to school
I know the things that I may learn
Won’t compare in any way
To the money I could earn
Playing
Video games
So, I don’t want to go to school today,
Just want to stay home and play
Video games, video games
I’ve even found a new degree
That I know is right for me
I’ll own a house
I’ll buy a car
But I won’t have to
Drive too far
Because my office home will be
A little haven, just for me
Designing
Video games, video games
It’s a new world that I’m living in,
And I know that she can’t understand
That the footprint that I’ll leave behind
Is one upon a virtual land
And I don’t want to go to school today,
Just want to stay home and play
Video games, video games, video games, video games

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
