Loot Boxes

Lyrics

Digital ladies and pixelated gents
Let me tell you 'bout a trend that don't make no sense
In these video games
You gotta pay a fee
For those shiny loot boxes
Don't you see?

They say it's all random
It's all just a game
But deep down inside
It feels so insane
Spending all our cash on a virtual thrill
But the truth is
It ain't no honest deal

Loot boxes
Oh
They're such a deceit
They're just another way to make us compete
Spending our dimes for a tiny chance to win
Will they ever have enough
Let the greediness begin

They say it's all random
It's all just a game
But deep down inside
It feels so insane
Spending all our cash on a virtual thrill
But the truth is
It ain't no honest deal

Paying to win
That's the name of the game
What happened to fun
We need to reclaim
Pride, accomplishment, better forget it

Loot boxes
Oh
They're such a deceit
They're just another way to make us compete
Spending our dimes for a tiny chance to win
Will they ever have enough
Let the greediness begin







ROUGH NOTES

Microtransactions
Loot boxes in disguise
Gotta pay for every little thing
It ain't no surprise
They lure us with their promises
But it's all just a sham
Draining our wallets
Playing games with our money
Damn

No more level playing field
It's all about the cash
They lock the good stuff away
Keeping us on the edge
Paying to win
That's the name of the game
But we won't be silenced
No more! It's time to reclaim

They say it's just cosmetic
But we all know the truth
That shiny skin or emote
They got us in the loop
They prey on our addiction
Keep us coming back for more
But we won't be fooled
This ain't what we signed up for

It's time to fight back, mount a defence
Let me tell you 'bout a trend that don't make no sense
In these video games
You gotta pay a fee
For those shiny loot boxes
Don't you see?

They say it's all random
It's all just a game
But deep down inside
It feels so insane
Spending all our cash on a virtual thrill
But the truth is
It ain't no honest deal

Loot boxes
Oh
They're such a deceit
They're just another way to make us compete
Spending our dimes for a tiny chance to win
But it's time to say enough
Let the greediness begin
