I used to roll the dice
Feel my dick in my enemy's ass
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! LOL!
One minute I held my nuts
Next my balls were closed on me
And I discovered Sans
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of salt and pillars of salt and pillars of salt
I hear Jackie Chan singing:
Omae wamu shinderu!
Beat my meat
My sooooooooooooooooooos
For some reason I can't explain
Why we live in a society
Where gamers don't rule the world
