He walked into the building,
aimed his gun straight down the hall
The enemy ducked out of the doorways
and barely had time to shoot them all
Seemed so real, he almost came
But it was just a video game
They were lying on the floor
He stepped up to the closest one
He laughed out loud to watch them die
If it was real, he'd be insane
But it was just a video game
In the next booth in the arcade
The enemy came over the hill
They were threatening from all sides
He had just the instant for the kill
He made their bodies burst in flames
But it was just a video game
He went home to his house
He locked himself into his room
Called up his only friend
Said, are you ready for some doom?
You know I hate everybody in this town
I'm gonna make myself a statement,
I'm gonna take somebody down
He flew the plane over the city,
looking for industrial sites
Hit a hospital by accident,
took out the radio towers, blinking lights
He pretended it was Belgrade,
but it was just a video game
He's hunted invisible alien warriors
Assassinated naked cheerleaders
from a laser -guided satellite
The only thing he thinks is a shame
Is that it's just a video game
Now he's a poster boy for gun control
and a family values crowd
Wanna get him on his knees
so youth won't act so proud
You talk about your freedom
as if weapons were your wealth
But when are you gonna rise
above the violence in yourself?
He walked into the building,
took a gun out of his coat
By the time the po lice got there,
he'd put a bullet through his own throat
He thought it would have fame
But it was just a video game
Now don't tell me his name
well, it was just a video game
If it was really be insane,
well, it was just a video
