The Copyrights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not going to let you win no more
cause you're really beating my score and I'm loving it
Hey there button smasher
I taught you everything you know
so you gotta let me know how you're doing it
The guys are lining up to play you
they start by letting you win
and they try and try and try
but their never gonna beat you
The lyrics to The Copyrights' song Button Smasher describe a competition between two players in a video game. The singer, who addresses the other player as "button smasher," expresses admiration for their skill, but also a desire to win. The singer admits to having taught the other player, which adds another layer of complexity to their relationship. The chorus of the song references the singer's desire to win and the fact that others are lining up to play the button smasher, only to be consistently defeated.

Hey there button smasher
Greetings, person who repeatedly presses buttons
I'm not going to let you win no more
I am no longer going to allow you to defeat me
cause you're really beating my score and I'm loving it
Your superior performance is impressing me and I am pleased with it
Hey there button smasher
Once again, greetings, person who repeatedly presses buttons
I taught you everything you know
I am responsible for teaching you all of your button pressing skills
so you gotta let me know how you're doing it
It is your duty to inform me of how you are achieving such impressive results
The guys are lining up to play you
Other individuals are eagerly waiting for their chance to compete against you
they start by letting you win
Initially, they allow you to be victorious
but pride it over powers hormones
Their sense of pride overwhelms their natural instincts
and they try and try and try
Despite repeated attempts, they are unable to triumph over you
but their never gonna beat you
It is highly unlikely that they will ever be victorious over you
