Lyrics
You won't believe what this story was
Someone saved me with headphones and hours lost
It's ya boy James Olsen, the goat was a trick
And a beardy boy detective with a half of a brick
I found myself in a dream
Of Sunshine, souvlaki and trivia green
A five star review because I want to see it thrive
It isn't a curse, I just don't listen and drive
The game is on, the game is on
Let the pigs roll like Regitron
I'm grateful, but I can't find the words
Because like everybody knows mate, books are for nerds
Thanks for ten years of subscribe share and like
Red circles and arrows and beams in the sky
We had fun with it but now the best will come, because the game is on
The game is on
Not a thing, not a damn thing
Can come between what we're gonna read and reading
I'm always giving credit to the source of the scoops
Always leave me hungry like Shia Lebeouf
We've learned so much, it's either worst or it's best
You take two eggs, and you're gonna need a vest
It's perfect like my anime test
The game is on, the game is on
Let the pigs roll out like Regitron
I'm grateful, but I can't find the words
Because like everybody knows mate, books are for nerds
Thanks for ten years of subscribe share and like
Red circles and arrows, the one Mason likes
We had fun with it but now the best will come, because the game is on
Hand me my sack and ignite those chains
We're off to half-remember more movie names
I've travelled a bit you know I'm never alone
If you'll transform then I can ride you home
So much to mention while at forty percent
I missed a big one, let me know in the comments
That would be great, but the great has an...
The game is on, the game is on
Let the pigs roll like Regitron
I'm grateful, but I don't think you'll see
If you're still having nightmares about that bee
Thanks for ten years of subscribe share and like
Red circles and arrows, convincing hair dye
We had fun with it but now the best will come, because the game is on
The game is on
We're punching darts just like Obi-Wan
I'm grateful, but I’m no good with words
Because like everybody said mate, books are for nerds
Here's to ten more years of leaving a like
It might get old, but these mates are for life
We had fun with it but now the best has come, because the game is on
