Playstation Blues

It"s ten to one  in the morning. 
i"m lying in my bed. 
I have so many men to kill
there buzzing round my head. 

My thumb is sore and aches 
and hurts each time i press,
but i got to kill those suckers
i"ll teach them not to mess. 

The bedroom door bursts open. 
My Mother storms inside. 
I quickly pull up covers
and vainly try to hide. 

What the hell is this? 
Don"t you know the time? 
Her voice explodes in fire 
I mumble humble fine. 

The room decends in darkness
silence reigns supreme. 
I"m grounded for tomorrow
my Mother she is mean. 

The next day at the table
my behaviour is discussed. 
My Father nods his head 
and says i am the worst. 

A whole day without gameing
God my lifes the pits. 
I"m sure i"ll die of boredom
I bet I get the yips. 

But soon the day is over
it"s midnight in my room 
I can"t resist temptation
to pick up and resume. 

I switch on my Playstation. 
and put it all on mute. 
My Mum will never know. 
I think i"m pretty cute. 

But what the hell is this
i"ve been taken for a mug. 
that bloody devious Mother. 
she"s taken off the PLUG!
