They say that there’s a President
Who rules these lands with good intent
But you don’t b’lieve in Fairy stories do ya?
The truth is clear this life is hard
Here comes a ref to take your card
You claim he does it just cos he can do you
He can do ya, He can Do ya , etc
You say you want a special part
You’ve learned your character’s plot by heart
When you tell it to your friends they just look through ya
So you went to God, asked for everything
They looked at you – they said “You Ming
Here’s 20 points for a character … that’ll do ya
That’ll do ya, That’ll do ya etc
You say the game’s not player led
You’re a mighty hero – (in your head)
But you don’t get out of bed to see it, do ya
You say that there is never plot
While you miss another monster slot
And now you want me to reassure ya
Reassure ya, Reassure ya etc
They say that there’s a Larper’s heaven
But you don’t understand Rule 7
You never even read the Rule Book, Do ya??
So why don’t you get out of my game
Join Lorien Trust – though if they’re the same
You may find even they are too good for ya
To good for ya, too good for ya etc
Maybe somewhere in this world
There is a boy – there is a girl
Who’ll read the rules and role play !!! [well would ya??]
Then LG, GOD, and all the refs,
With Player Lives and player Deaths
Will all join in a glorious ……… “Hallelujah “
Hallelujah.. !!!!!!
