NEScessary punk nostalgia

lyrics

A coward in the schoolyard, a crybaby on the swings.
No phys. ed dreamboat: I'm the second last pick.
But when I go visit Nathan, I'm an uber mensch,
A dot matrix Hercules, I'm the 8 bit king.

With a flick of the joystick, with a slick paddle jive.
I'm on fire; I'm a noisy gong.
Mama says I'll go blind, now I wear glasses all the time.

Everyone's been keeping trendy with shit that I don't understand.
It takes a nuclear physicist to figure out these new joypads.
But when I go visit Nathan, we stick to tested and true.
Call me vintage, call me luddite - I just like the old style.

Dad said "don't waste your time", but I saw him playing it at night!
