Join My Guild
Beefy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be a thief, be an orc, be an elf, be a druid
XP gained when the boss gets killed
More than a few dwarfs wanna join my guild
Log on all hours and we don't get bored
Battle with words or the tip of a sword
Play a peacemaker but I rock dual wield
Just pass this test you can join my guild
Game time I log on, slay me a dragon
Then tell the warlock in my room he gotta get gone
Gotta make sure that ya follow the rules
Yo don't pick on those dudes, just be nice to nice noobs
Leveled on up now I'm a superstar
But free fall, uploaded naked avatar
Loot drop, next stop is a shopping spree
Run victory like Dub, A, S, D
We gotta healer gotta tank and we got DPS
Retarded cousin in our group can only spell success
And if you pass this test, you can be like us
Are you a fan of Cheesybeards baby? That's a must
You log on and on and on again
And sing that same ol song again
But we got your back when it's dark and you can't see
More than fantasy, a digi family, come on!
Play my game, really there's nothing to it
Be a thief, be an orc, be an elf, be a druid
XP gained when the boss gets killed
More than a few dwarfs wanna join my guild
Log on all hours and we don't get bored
Battle with words or the tip of a sword
Play a peacemaker but I rock dual wield
Just pass this test you can join my guild
Hurry got no patience, raid another nation
The way my helmet glows lets ya know I'm a sensation
Game, but I'm not playing, it's serious biz
Already got myself a pet, I don't have time for the kids
Fingers keep em steady, got my potions at the ready
Gotta Tinkerbell who says she had a life like Ugly Betty
Palms are getting sweaty, my mom's making spaghetti
But she doesn't seem to know that I am going to war!
Shift into bear, I bite dudes with swords
Leaving every single orc screaming Oh my lord!
Small gnomes get saved, Undead get slain
While my psychiatrist is never understanding my paid
Just because I'm having fun, I gotta give that up?
I think because you don't like the way you've grown up
So let me bang my drum, let me sing my song
Whole world in my palm whenever I log on, go!
Play my game, really there's nothing to it
Be a thief, be an orc, be an elf, be a druid
XP gained when the boss gets killed
More than a few dwarfs wanna join my guild
Log on all hours and we don't get bored
Battle with words or the tip of a sword
Play a peacemaker but I rock dual wield
Just pass this test you can join my guild
The song "Join My Guild" by Beefy is an ode to the world of video games and the community and friendships that can be created through them. The lyrics describe the idea of logging on to a game and immersing oneself in a fantasy world where anything is possible. The chorus invites listeners to join the singer's guild and become part of a group of gamers who play together, gain experience points, battle bosses, and support each other on their quests. The song also touches on the idea that gaming can be a serious and competitive pursuit, requiring skills and strategy, but ultimately, it's about having fun and being part of a community.
The first verse describes the different characters that players can choose to be, including thieves, orcs, elves, and druids. The singer emphasizes that anyone can join the guild, regardless of their race or class. The verse also mentions the idea of gaining experience points when a boss is defeated, which is a common mechanic in many role-playing games. The second verse highlights some of the rules of the guild, such as not picking on other players and being kind to newbies. The singer also mentions his own success in the game, but emphasizes that it's more about the community and support than individual achievement.
Overall, "Join My Guild" celebrates the world of video games and the friendships and connections that can be formed through them. The song is a reminder that gaming can be a fun and fulfilling hobby, but also a way to build community and find like-minded people.

Leaving every single orc screaming Oh my lord!
I defeat all the orcs in the game and they exclaim out of fear
Small gnomes get saved, Undead get slain
I save small gnomes and defeat undead creatures in the game
While my psychiatrist is never understanding my paid
My psychiatrist doesn't understand why I enjoy playing the game so much
Just because I'm having fun, I gotta give that up?
Why should I stop having fun playing the game just because others don't understand it?
I think because you don't like the way you've grown up
Others might not like the game because they are not happy with the way their life has turned out
So let me bang my drum, let me sing my song
Let me continue to play the game and enjoy myself
Whole world in my palm whenever I log on, go!
I feel powerful and in control when I play the game

Ha, I like how he's embracing the incoming "fat WoW nerd jokes", effectively snuffing them out before they happen. Nerdcore is an amazing music genre.
