Video Games Lyrics

[Intro: Jack Black & Kyle Gass]
Are you plugged in? (Yeah)
Alright, you ready?
One-two, a one-two-three

[Verse 1]
I don't play video games no more, never play video games
'Cept for a little bit of God of War, never play video games
Maybe a once in a while, a little bit of Fallout 4
But that's okay, not right now, I got things to do

[Verse 2]
'Cause I don't play video games no more, I never play video games
But Red Dead Redemption II, that is not a game
It's an incredible journey through old American history

Fighting for your life and fighting for your family
Trying to live your days with honour and intеgrity

That's not a game, that's an adult thing
That's not a game at all, that's like fuckin' Shakеspeare

Frigig-gigigig-gigigig-gigigig-gigigig-gigigig-gigig

[Bridge]
You know I don't play video games no more
Tiny bit of video game
I guess I still play fuckin' video games
Yee-haw

[Outro]
That's it, that's the one
It's on the album

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

In Tenacious D’s new song after well over a year, Jack Black sings about how he doesn’t play video games anymore. The song was a collaboration between them and popular animator, Chris O' Niell. Traction has also been gained for Jack Black appearing as The Scout from Team Fortress 2, a game that has been heavily neglected by its creator, Valve.

What did Tenacious D say about "Video Games"?
Genius Answer

It’s about growing up and leaving childish things behind… but then realizing that video games are more than just mindless toys. In fact, they can be a true expression of huge ideas that belong in the pantheon of great works of art!
