about

This song is about LARPing!

lyrics

When we were kids we played all kinds of games
Ninja Turtles, anyone that we
Wanted to pretend we were, we’d be
Mom or Dad, or Barbie, or the Red Mage in Final Fantasy

Harry’s got a wand, MegaMan’s blue
Grab the clothes and do what they would do
We’d become whatever we wanted to
Life is just the same

You don’t have to go out into the woods to play
You don’t have to make a suit of chain-mail armor to play
I mean if you want to make a suit of chain-mail armor, that’s okay
But here’s my secret to you, the world already works this way
So come along and sing with me!

Life is a LARP!

Just think of all the stuff you did today
Wake up and put on your fancy clothes
Blow the snot out of your fancy nose
Practice punctuality and go where responsible people go

Maybe you don’t have to fight a Slime
But you’d better get to work on time
Make sure that your output better shine
And you are on your way

The other side is that whatever you want to do
You grab the role and suddenly the work comes true
You want to climb a mountain, got to buy the shoes
All you gotta do is just be brave enough to choose
So come along and sing with me!

Life is a LARP!

And I’ve become a rockstar
I’ve become a geek rockstar
Yes, I’ve become a rockstar
And I have the CDs to prove it
How about you?

I know you think you’ve rolled and got your stats
You’re already good as you can get
You can’t be what you haven’t been yet
Anything you want to do has some prerequisite you haven’t met

Or you might say that you don’t have enough.
Better roles come to people with better stuff.
I say that it’s time to level up
You work at where you’re at

And every day try on the stats you want to play
Grab the rule book, learn the rules, and start to play
You’ll find that what you want isn’t so far away

As long as you work at it
Consistently and with focus
Watching for opportunities
And learning about the other players
Connecting with the community
And don’t forget to practice
EVERY DAY
So one more time, come sing with me!

Life is a LARP!
