Category (Artist) - Requiem For An Arcade lyrics

Spend your money at an arcade Coz the birth place of gaming needs to be saved Every day another arcade dies Time for us to stand up and fight! Thats the problem with the kids these days They are far too happy with the games they play At home on the sofa, maybe in bed Playing all night until their eyes go red It's not the way that it used to be They made so much money back in '83 With a thousand coins in a thousand slots For driving shooting and giant robots I bet you havn't played once this year Not according to reports that I hear Step outside and take a look around Sega park aint nowhere to be found Walter Day (Walter Day) The man (the man) Helped us (helped us) To under-stand These games (these games) That we play (that we play) That we love (that we love) And we should save! ***Mister B*** As a kid I lived on the coast so many arcades where I'd go to boast Make a Bee-line for Mortal Kombat When I was Rayden I wunt no doormat pockets full of twenty-pees I'd play all day 'til I was fatigued But now this rappers hanging his head I smell arcades, they smell dead When this northern monkey goes to heaven I wont be playing Tekken 27 It'll be a revolution with my Dance Dance Shoes and then a manic session on 1942 Arcades, they best start believing Like Mario 2, they need to stop dreaming And build a community around the games We need one that isnt a webpage ***Category*** As just said by Mister B We believe in community A room full of gamers at different machines And when closing time comes they are set to free You've got the chinese girl on DDR The fat old man racing Daytona Virtual-On was my game of choice Big mechs, two joysticks, and lots of noise All day long I would pwn noobs Jump dash shoot and I'ld never lose They always thought that they were uber-cool Until I took their a** to school But I can't do this anymore Coz my local arcade has closed it's doors And if you still have one near you You know what you have to do Billy Mitchells probably crying While Microsoft bosses are all smiling No matter how hard I am trying Coin-op machines are not surviving ***Both*** Arcades are dying My childhood is dying Arcades are dying And you don't seem to give a sh** Arcades are dying My childhood is dying Arcades are dying And you don't seem to give a sh**
