Category (Artist) - Requiem For An Arcade (feat. MisterB) текст песни

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 ass 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 shit
Arcades are dying
My childhood is dying
Arcades are dying
And you don't seem to give a shit
