My life is like a video game Trying hard to beat the stage All while I am still collecting coins Trying hard to save the girl Obstacles, I'm jumping hurdles I'm growing up to be a big boy I battle with the evil ways I travel far, and try and save Sorry but your princess isn't here I take a rest, I push the pause Level up, and move along In hopes that the next stage I will clear (I fucking passed asshole!) I'm just trying to keep from dying It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes Looking for a better way to play it! Life is for keeping score and forever more Stop complaining and start changing it Today I went to therapy Told him my embarrassing Issues that I'm having with my life (with my life) He told me that I need to change Life is not a video game So stop playing and open up your eyes I'm just trying to keep from dying It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes Looking for a better way to play it! Life is for keeping score and forever more Stop complaining and start changing it Don't talk about it, just be about it Don't ever doubt it even when your brain is clouding I may be crazy but life's amazing And through it all even with your problems facing So just know that it's okay My life is like a video game Trying hard to beat the stage All while I am still collecting coins Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes Looking for a better way to play it! Life is for keeping score and forever more Stop complaining and start changing it It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes Looking for a better way to play it! Life is for keeping score and forever more Stop complaining and start changing it
