Blackout Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just wanna be a fool
Just wanna play video games
Everything else is really lame
Just wanna play video games
(I) Just wanna play video games
(I) Just wanna play video games
Parents say it's fryin' my brain
Just because I can't remember my name
I just wanna play video games
All the time and every day
Just wanna play video games
Just wanna play video games
(I) Just wanna play video games
All the time and every day
Gamecube, Xbox, Playstation 2
Knew all about them as soon as they're new
I just wanna play video games
All the time and every day
Just wanna play video games (ya heard)
Just wanna play video games (every day)
Just wanna play video games (How'd ya know?)
All the time and every day
(Aw man)
We don't have school today
They say it's conference day
But everyone knows anyway
The teachers are at home playing video games
Just wanna play video games
Just wanna play video games
(I) Just wanna play video games
All the time and every day
(I) Just wanna play video games (ya heard)
(I) Just wanna play video games (every day)
Just wanna play video games (How'd ya know?)
All the time and every day
I don't wanna go to school
Just wanna play video games
I just wanna be a fool
Just wanna play video games
Everything else is really lame
(Yay)
