Munchkins

I never learned to cast that Stone to Flesh
I cut my teeth on Minor Rings of Protection
And I'm not proud of all my stats
On a torn-up sheet, first-level fighter
But every game's like gold piece, full plate, Brazier of Commanding
+5 halberd, Tome of Understanding
We don't care, we're wielding vorpal swords in our dreams
But every gamer's like backstab, rage, true resurrection, time stop
Half-troll monk just beating all the orcs up
Dungeon crawl, we aren't caught up in your Monty Haul
And we'll never be munchkins (munchkins)
It's the story we want
Fight after fight, too much the same
We crave a different kind of game
Let me have some roleplay (roleplay)
That's my kind of D&D
Then maybe I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I - we've cracked the code
We tell our stories and the loot is a bonus
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come to level
But every game's like chainsaws, trenchcoats, silver bullets, werebears
Rotes that turn vampires into lawn chairs
We don't care, we're casting Forces 5 in our dreams
But every gamer's like 6th gen Ventrue learning Thaumaturgy
Ghoul the mayor, Dominate the clergy
Thanks, we'll pass, we aren't caught up in your hack and slash
And we'll never be munchkins (munchkins)
It don't run in our blood
Cause powergaming is for n00bs
So save it for the intertubes
Let me have some roleplay (roleplay)
A little less diablerie
Then maybe I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll
Let me live that fantasy
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Go on and tell me that it's lame
But I'm in love with story games
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
It's the drama of it all
We aren't caught up in your Monty Haul
And we'll never be munchkins (munchkins)
It's the story we want
Fight after fight, too much the same
We crave a different kind of game
Let me have some roleplay (roleplay)
That's my kind of D&D
Then maybe I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll, I'll roll
Let me live that fantasy

The traffic wasn't bad today on my commute to work
I didn't have to see my boss or face the office jerk
The lines are short and parking's easy at the grocery store
Cause half the world got turned to dust in Infinity War
#ThanksThanos
No one judged my White Castle meal or my second dessert
I get the bed all to myself now that my spouse is dirt
I never have to wait my turn at any time of day
And I couldn't afford the college funds for two kids anyway
#ThanksThanos
There's no more global warming now that we're 50% ash
There's more leg room on planes (at least, the ones that didn't crash)
If you think I shouldn't tell these jokes, your wish won't be fulfilled
Cause I'm afraid you're stuck with me since half the FuMP got killed
But still I heard a rumor that this cannot be the end
The sequel's gonna make it like this plot line's never been
So I have only one request for all future retcons:
Will whoever wields the gauntlet next make Donald Trump stay gone?
#PleaseThanos
#ThanksThanos

Baby Yoda

Took a job. To get a bounty.
There he is. In a box.
He's just. A little green guy.
Why not. Take him home?
Cute. Cute. Little green guy.
Little claws and. Little ears.
Now he's. Comin' to me.
Close his eyes. And use the Force.
(chorus)
Baby Yoda, please let me hold him
I want to buy him in plush toy form
Disney, Disney, give us a plaything
We want to buy him in plush toy form
See him eat. That weird frog thing.
See him drink. All the tea.
More cute. Than an Ewok.
Don't you think he ought to. Come with me?
I would buy one but. I got no money.
Wanna hug him. Every day.
Don't cha' love. Your Baby Yoda.
Gonna shoplift one. This is the way.
(chorus)
Here we go (use the Force)
Disney, Disney (use the Force)
In the Razor Crest, woo (use the Force)
Baby Yoda goes, mmmmm (use the Force)
I know you want to buy one
BB-8. Baby Groot.
Never were. Half as cute.
Cute. Cute. Why not?
Get that plush. Give it hugs.
(chorus)
Here we go (use the Force)
Baby Yoda, woo, put that Disney+ on
Baby Yoda goes, mmmmm (use the Force)
Hey, Baby Yoda! (use the Force)
Yeah, he looks so odd (use the Force)
In his floating grey pod (use the Force)
