Battery Low Riot
(hummmm) Pocket full of bent copper coins
Standing frozen by the coin-slot machine
Screen is flickering in thirty-second loops
Telling me I'm running out of time to dream
Red light blinking on the dash
One more second 'til the systems crash (c'mon)
Almost out of credits,
almost out of luck!
Tied my laces tight and I don't give a damn!
Watch the counter dropping to zero flat
You can take the score,
but you can't take that! (yeah!)
Spent the afternoon waiting on the curb
Trading tokens for a sip of lukewarm tea
Everybody wants to tell you how to play
Nobody put another dime in for me
Fingers slipping on the plastic wheel
Tell me is this real or just an arcade deal? (hey!)
Almost out of credits,
almost out of luck!
Tied my laces tight and I don't give a damn!
Watch the counter dropping to zero flat
You can take the score,
but you can't take that!
(take that!)
Insert coin to continue...
Nah, forget it.
Walk out
into the freezing rain. (hahaha)
Almost out of credits,
game over now!
Walked right out the door without a single bow!
Almost out of credits!
(yeah, we're out!)
Game over. (ahhhh)
