Lyrics

Civilization requires some percent of the population To keep their heads down, play it straight and generally obey the rules Have a job and have some kids and train the next generation We cannot afford every-one running 'round like fools But a lucky few will face the odds and live the dream or pay the cost And do what few else could We get to be adventurers: kick the door in, slay the monster, claim the treasure, save the princess We get to be the rock stars: leeching your hard work, you dumb NPC jerk Leaps and bounds are made by those who risk all for glory But if everyone were like that, we'd have total anarchy It's just as crucial to have folks who only hear the story And don't try to get involved, not even remotely So grab your sword or grab your plow; don't matter which; just choose one now And notify the bards We get to be adventurers: kick the door in, slay the monster, claim the treasure, save the princess We get to be the rock stars: leeching your hard work, you dumb NPC jerk And the party needs a heal-stick, but no one wants to play A support character when there are monsters to slay Civilization requires some percent of the population To defrag hard drives, shop at Wal-Mart, and generally just be a mook We get to be the NPCs: build the door, and flee the monster; lose the treasure; don't meet the princess We get to watch the rock stars from safe behind the wall and chortle as they fall Be glad that we're not all as brave as them
