Story Behind The Song

This is kind of a humour/novelty type song about video games and all the hardships the heroes of these games must overcome. It's also kind of a poke at how many games these days just feel like the same old rehashed stuff, over and over....

Lyrics

I?m sick of pickin? up health packs
And these aliens shooting at me
At least I have my built-in radar
That will tell me where they will be
Tell me where they will be

I hate bein? all alone out here
If I?m gonna save the world then
The least someone else can do is to
Send me a well-trained friend
Send me a well-trained friend

I?m tired of lookin? for ammo
There?s not a bullet in sight
How can I save humanity?
If I can?t even put up a fight
Can?t even put up a fight

These monsters here are getting tougher
With every spooky corridor that I go past
I never wanted to be a hero
I was just thrust into this task
Thrust into this task

Saving the world is hard work
My fingers are really sore
From pulling all these triggers and
Opening all those doors
Opening all those doors

I hope someone will thank me when
This mess is said and done
Or at least give me money
?Cause I?m not in this for the fun
Not in this for the fun

(Chorus)

Why should I be the one
To save the world?
I was just thrust into this task?.
