Early one morning
With time to kill
I watched my kid brother
Show me his skill
The game he was playing
Was full of bright lights
It all made me wonder
How he kept his sight
He put the controller
Right in my hand
Said 'Try it out
If you think you can.'
'Well, just for a minute,'
Is what I had said
I hung my head
I hung my head

Eight hours later
I'm stuck to the screen
I played like a champion
Like a well-oiled machine
I was the best player
In the whole land
And that's when my cell phone
Went off by my hand
It was my girlfriend
Who just called to tell
She's stuck at the airport
And madder than hell
'But I got the high score,'
Is all I had said
I hung my head
I hung my head

Here at the airport
The whole city's here
Now I am seeing
All my greatest fears
Tired of waiting
She called up her ex
And he pulled up for her
In a shiny new Lex
When she turned and saw me
She saw my dismay
And said, "Was it worth it?"
Then drove away
That girl was a hottie
I wish I was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

Early next morning
Time to kill
All I have left
Is this game and my skill
I need a hot shower
I need to go shave
But I'll play this game
Till I go to my grave
It cost me my love life
It cost me my girl
This high score is all I
Have left in the world
Then my brother beat it
I'm better off dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
