[English]

I Play WOW, can't nobody mess with me now.

I'm on a quest with my guild getting wild.

Its my crowd, and I'm proud, screw you, I'm down, shut your mouth.

Schools out works over take your face to Coffee Bean.

I gotta get to Azeroth, you Luddites ain't stopping me.

My equips legit, look me up in the armory.

Were at war stupid buster, theres no peace or harmony.

No one seems to get it, but thats alright.

My girl keeps whining, complaining and starting fights.

She wants to cuddle and watch movies in the candlelight.

But wednesdays thru fridays are strictly raid nights.

When I'm down or depressed, I go connect.

My real friends are online fighting to the death.

Moms banging on my door come eat your eggs and bacon.

MOM YOU'RE MESSING ME UP! YOU'RE LIKE LEROY JENKINS.

I call it straight dedication, you can call it crazy.

You talking stuff man, why don't you come and play me?

I'm going 22 hours, who you calling lazy?

I'M PWNIN NOOBS AT PVP AND MY LEVELS PAST 80!!!

I Play WOW, can't nobody mess with me now.

I'm on a quest with my guild getting wild.

Its my crowd, and I'm proud, screw you, I'm down, shut your mouth.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.

You can say I'm a fanatic or even addicted.

Say my habits are bad, my silly life is conflicted.

But if it makes me happy, why should I quit this?

The world brings me down WOW makes me uplifted.

Every moment with my guild is a moment I cherish.

Call me a nerd, call me a geek, but Im no longer embarrassed.

Say I'm socially screwed, never have kids or a marriage.

I don't live my life for money, fame or chasing your carrots.

An while people like to hate discriminate and be mean.

In my world we work together to defeat the Lich King.

Doesn't matter if your Black, white, ugly or fat.

EVERYONE BE KICKING BOODIE IN THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!

Real life can be harsh and put me down.

Telling me I ain't nothing and I'm on shaky ground.

But I don't hear that anymore, my headphones up too loud.

I'm on top of the world cause, I... PLAY WOW!!!

I Play WOW, can't nobody mess with me now.

I'm on a quest with my guild getting wild.

Its my crowd, and I'm proud, screw you, I'm down, shut your mouth.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.

I'm down with the horde, I'm a blood elf paladin.

Alliance messing with me, the humans are challenging.

When you can't understand me this is what I do.

Tell you GET OFF OF MY CHANNEL! GO LEARN YOUR CLASS NOOB!

Or better yet go play ROCK BAND with that sad guitar.

And no, I don't want to date your stupid AVATAR.

I'm getting busy clocking kills in every single way.

My guild legit, come on man this ain't FELICIA DAY.

And who thought there come a time where the world would see.

Millions of critics and cynics who feel just like me.

Were all living in a better alternate reality

SPENDING ALL DAY DREAMING PVP STRATEGIES!!!

I Play WOW, can't nobody mess with me now.

I'm on a quest with my guild getting wild.

Its my crowd, and I'm proud, screw you, I'm down, shut your mouth.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.

I play WOW, I play WOW, I play WOW, turn it up say it loud.
