My Way -- A SWG Twist On An Old Anthem -- Add Your Own

azhrarn · March 2006

And then, the nerf was here, and so I hit the cancel button.
And Smed, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've played, my game was rich, I'd been to each, and every POI.
And more, much more than this,
I played it my way.

Complaints, I've had a few, but those I'm sure, you'll never mention.
I did, what I wished to do, and played it well, without exemption.
I planned, each skill tree change, each gleeful grind, along the byway,
and more, much more than this,
I played it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I logged off, and swore I was through.
But through it all, when bugs abound,
I sucked it up, and worked around.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
and played it my way.

I've loved, I've danced and died,
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as flames subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think, I did all that, and may I say --- not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I played it my way".

For what is a girl, what has she got?
If not herself, then she has naught.
To play the things, she truly needs,
And will not pay, for corporate greed.
The record shows, SOE blows ---
I played it my way!

Sips a latte and claps...

Open mike here at the Cantina, whose next?

Yo SWG, let's kick it!

Nerf Nerf Baby
Nerf Nerf Baby

All right stop, close your game and cancel
Playing this game is just like detention
Played this for too long, it held me tightly
Log on this game for a screwing nightly
Sony's never gonna stop, they need the cash
Keep publishing crap, it's only trash
They dumb things down, in the end you'll just be lost
You think things over, how much does this cost
Screw these guys, anything is better
They're killing your game, like a bomb in a letter
Idiots, what are they bloody thinking
Anything more and it's obvious their drinking
Love it or hate it, you better get running
Everyone knows that those pricks are cunning
If sony was a person, he'd be the devil
Stop your subcription, stay off their level

Sony, Nerf Nerf Baby
Sony, Nerf Nerf Baby
Sony, Nerf Nerf Baby
Sony, Nerf Nerf Baby

Now that the game is sucking
With the newbs signed up and the vets are nothing
Quick to the point, only money making
Their losing players, playerbase is shaking
Losing them, it's gonna to be a lunar
They go crazy when they hear a rumor
And a silly dev with an account for all
He's on a roll and it's time to ban all
Rollin' in his 5.0 (IE)
With his game-client down just as the server dies
The players on forums, posting just to say bye
They must be wrong, they just posted a lie
Changed their payment to the next game
They fired some staff, heading to the better name
The game is dead, yo
SOE continue to change their game, cu and nge
The game was hot and now is full of
NGE lovers playing their pretend jedi
Fanboi's, thinking all is fine
Kids with a console, thinking they're over 9
Praying for bioware to take over
The devs acting all suspicious, their days are over
Cries ring out like a bell
The only thing left is a dumbed down shell
Falling as an MO fast
Because of Julio, this game his last
Player to Player, know it's garbage trash
Vets trying to get away, it's like a rash
Gaming sites with reviews, they're only kind
Just look on forums, you'll be gasping at your find
If there is a problem, SOE won't solve it
Check out the forums, the emu boys are on it

Vanilla Ice - SWG Style

"Wake Me Up When The NGE Ends"

PreCU has come and passed
The indepth games can never last
wake me up when NGE ends

like my professions come to pass
My will to play has gone so fast
wake me up when NGE ends

here comes the nerfs again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when NGE ends

CU has come and passed
the fun times can never last
wake me up when NGE ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when the GCW began
wake me up when NGE ends

here comes the Publishes again
falling from the stars
drenched in bugs again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when NGE ends

My guild has come and passed
The community can never last
wake me up when NGE ends

like my ranger's come to pass
two years has gone so fast
wake me up when NGE ends
wake me up when NGE ends
wake me up when NGE ends...

"Yesterday" by Beatles

Yesterday,

All the bugs seemed so far away,

Now it looks as if they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

I'm not half the toon I used to be,

There's a NGE hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why, pre-CU+NGE

Had to go I don't know, the devs wouldn't say

I posted something wrong ( SWG forum), now I long for yesterday

Yesterday,

SWG was such a great game to play

Now I need STO to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday...

azhrarn · March 2006

WOOTLES! Y'all rock harder than Dee Snyder. Keep em coming guys, this stuff is just too fun.

LOL in the old days, this was the kind of gold that made a good case for macros, just so a really enterprising musician could put on a good filkfest for their cantina.

GrimReapez · March 2006

Updated mine with more lyrics, enjoy.

azhrarn · March 2006

The old man came with my fate
Jedi-fied, the NGE came the next day
It's an FPS, but I can't play
It's a death-blow change, too much too late
Isn't it iconic ... don't you think
Chorus

It's like smugglers might smuggle some day
It's a free expansion when you've already paid
It's the good advice that they just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures

Mr. Smedley said the game would've died
He held hands with Torres and kissed his game good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to get WoW figures
And as the players ran screaming he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it iconic ... don't you think
Repeat Chorus

Well greed has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and you are always right
And greed has a funny way of screwing you up when
You think everything's your cash cow then everything blows up
In your face

It's a player flight when you're already sinking
It's a respec window on your favorite template
It's like ten thousand Jedi when all you need is a buff
It's finding the game of my dreams
And then seeing that whole system wiped
And isn't it iconic... don't you think
A little too iconic... and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus

It's like thousands of voices screaming out in protest and then... silence.
Don't forget to clean out your desk before you go.

I'm still standing by Elton "the man!! " John

Don't you know I'm still missing SWG more than I ever did
Looking like a true Refugee, feeling like a little kid
I'm still posting after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without $OE on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once we never could hope to win
TH starting down the road leaving the posts again
The deletions/locks you made were meant to cut me down
And if our game was just a circus to you you'd be toast by now

azhrarn · March 2006

I love Elton John. He's just spiffy. Yes, I know how gay that makes me. But I'm a woman, so nyaah!

zipit · March 2006

Yeah, I think he's very cool too. A great song writer.

azhrarn · March 2006

LOL dammit Zip, now I have another one and it's all your fault!

When are you gonna roll back
pre Cu's in demand
You should have stayed on the farm
You should have stuck with the damn old man

You know you can't BS forever
We didn't buy in to get screwed
We're not a bankroll for your devs to harvest
This girl's too smart to be paying for you

So goodbye to NGE
Where the devs of SOE howl
You can't keep me in FPS
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the dancers in Mos Eisley C
Uncle Owen's where I want to be
Oh I've finally decided my credits ride
Beyond the damned NGE

What do you think you'll do then
Now that Galaxies flushed down the drain
It'll take you a couple more focus groups and bad spin jobs
To get your numbers up again

Maybe you'll find some new suckers
There's plenty like that all around
Bored nerds who ain't got a game
Just waiting for some fresh review to be found

zipit · March 2006

U know azhrarn, this funny little musical excercise is exactly the kind of fun I had in SWG, just mulling around talking to friends and having a good laugh. Once I met this guy in the desert right? I was hunting Sandmen TKA style and he was doing low level missions. Anyway, we got to talk and it seemed we had the same kind of humour and views and I was only happy to help a newcomer to the game. We talked so much we forgot to stow away our speeders, they were still screaming in the background after 30 min. Suddenly, it dawned on us that we've been talking for 4 hours straight - 2 strangers in the middle of nowhere on Tatooine. Only in SWG...

Damn' I miss that community....

Shame on u, u made an old Vet cry , lol

Anywayzzz, it's late here in Europe, gonna sleep on it and bring back the music to mmorpg.com!!!!!

azhrarn · March 2006

Awe, Zip... don't cry man. We still have the forums. We can still do stuff here. Give us a song, eh?

azhrarn · March 2006

Inspired by the amazing bumpercrop of rumors, bring on another classic.

When I find myself in times of boredom
I log on to MMORPG
Reading words of rumor, SWG.
And when it gets a bit retarded
I wander off to watch TV
Reading words of rumor, SWG.
SWG, SWG.
Whisper words of rumor, SWG.

And when the broken hearted players
Need a little hope to see,
There will be a rumor, SWG.
For though they have been pwnzored there is
Still a chance that they will see
A shiny happy rumor, no SOE.
SWG, SWG. yeah
There will be a rumor, SWG.

And when the boards get rowdy,
There is still a chance that there might be,
Star Wars without evil SOE.
I wake up to the sound of e-mail
Two dozen new posts at MMORPG
Speaking words of rumor, SWG.
SWG, SWG.
There will be more rumors, SWG.
SWG, SWG.
How long till there is no more SWG...

zipit · March 2006

Ok Azhrarn, here it comes:

Roxanne by Sting/Police

Galaxy, you don't have to put on the NGE suit

Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the fps crowd

Galaxy you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Stalking unsuspecting customers
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Galaxy, you don't have to put on the NGE suit
Galaxy, you don't have to put on the NGE suit

Put on a roll-back smile, put away the red light
Put on the roll-back smile put away the red light
Put away the red light, oh

I loved you SWG since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with the SOE devs

I know my mind is made up
So put away your expansions

Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

Oh yeah baby, keep the music alive right here at Radio Refugee

I suppose someone could come up with lyrics played to We're not gonna take it by twisted sister. Just seems appropriate somehow.

azhrarn · March 2006

There's not so much that could be done to that one, as I'd safely say the original lyrics lent themselves to the voice of the Refugees in its original form. But here's the best I could manage. Dee Snyder (may he sing forever) is just too good at what he does.

You're all worthless and weak...quit whining and come back here....!

Oh We're Not Gonna Play It

oh We're Not Gonna Buy It

oh We're Not Gonna Buy It Anymore

Hear the sound of the raging war
coming furth like a car withour a break
ye scream
the crap out of the company
hear the dogs howling out of rage
to a hymn called faith and misery
ye bleed
that company lost a war today

I beg the devs for some mercy
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on SWG

hear the drum pounding out of time
another refugee has crossed the line
to find the games much better on the other side
Can a get another screw devs?!
ther's a flag rapped around us score of players
ye screw
The living crap out of SOE

I beg the devs for some mercy
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on SWG

/Schhhzhht

The represintive of SOE has the floor
zieg heil to all of ye players
Fecks away is you're punishment
Pulverize the fecking game
It's just a moneymaker SO WHAT THE FeCK
BANG BANG goes the new beginner
Kill all the vets that don't agree
trails with lawsuits gets no where
so why the feck should we even care?
Just cause just cause because were the old ones!

I beg the devs for some mercy
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on SWG

/regards

A Perfect Circle - Judith

You're such an inspiration for the ways that I'll never ever choose to be.

Oh so many ways for me to show you how SOE has abandoned you.

F*ck your Smed.

Your Iconic and your NGE.  They did this.

Took all you had and left you this way.

Still you pray, you never stray

Never taste of the fruit

You never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.

It's not like you drove a hateful spear into their side.

Praise the one who left you

Broken down and paralyzed

He did it all for you

He did it all for you

Oh so many ways for me to show you how SOE has abandoned you.

Pray to your Smedley, to your SOE

Never taste of the fruit

Never stray, never break

Never---choke on a lie

Even though there the ones who did this to you

You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone

It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side

Talk to John Smedley

As if he knows the reasons why

He did it all for you

Did it all for you

He did it all for you
