Lyrics
——
Picked up a game
Needs repairin’
Got it cheap,
so I’m not carin’
I’ll test it and see
if a fuse it could be
Won’t be waitin for parts to arrive
Playing blind, no HV crackle
Flyback and caps, I can tackle
An order I placed
The shipping is traced
Just waitin for my parts to arrive
My parts are lost somewhere in Wyoming
The Post Office doesn’t really care
They said: Have you spoken to the seller?
They’ll send again, but not overnight air
Chassis done
Nice sharp picture
But graphics glitches
and a flicker
A chip I may need,
shipping from China, I see
Just waitin for my parts to arrive
Ten weeks in, I finally get my order
Not fixed, it was connectors all along
Three bucks in parts and it’ll be in working order
but shipping’s another six and that’s just wrong
Finally works,
Gameplay’s bracing
Though the art still needs replacing
Should’ve ordered that first
the wait time I will curse
Waitin for my art to arrive
Waitin for my art
Waitin for my art
Waitin for my parts …to arrive
