Just For Today
I log on
I play
I am the king
Of today
Make friends
Kill more
All just to up
My score
I am great
Maybe the best
I hardly lose
To all the rest
Hours go by
Alone I play
But who cares?
It's just for today
I make the ranks
Get high scores
Get new items
Open new doors
Friends call
Still I play
I tell myself
Just for today
Chores pile up
Should I care?
Someone just shot me
"DON'T YOU DARE"
I make a clan
I am the best
It doesn't matter
If I flunk that test
Weeks go by
Still I play
I still tell myself
Just for today
