Teardrops keep fallin' in the void
the guy who's been afk while mining asteroids
pointless as it seems
Those teardrops are fallin' in the void, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some shooting with my guns
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those teardrops are fallin' in the void, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The concord sent to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till the lulz steps up to greet me

Teardrops keep fallin' in the void
But that doesn't mean that you can't mine your asteroid
Cryin's not the way
No, 'cuz you're never gonna stop the game by complainin'
Because I'm free, it's a sandbox you see...



By the way, if you haven't figured out that this is a parody to the tune of an old song known as Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head by B.J. Thomas, then you don't deserve to music.

Cool

So did I - some silly wannabe critics are mistaking creative parody for a sexual orientation, though. Can't please everyone, right?

Even if that was sarcasm, I actually don't, I enjoy being single, and I don't do relationships well anyway - I'm autistic. People are great at arms length or over the internet, but up close in my face I just want to knock their teeth out.

Thank you.

Guys, this is just a little light-hearted parody that I wrote earlier today and wanted to share it with people in order to lift the generally angry mood of GD - please don't post here if all you want to do is bring more "angry". This is meant to be something to smile about. Lol

The amount of time and passion poured into anti-miner 'hate' is the best evidence that it is EVE's most tear producing activity.

Amen to that.

On it's own merits it's an excellent little ditty and it even scans! I'll be memorising this and making a guitar recording soon as I get home!

I LOL'd

Strangely enough I saw James 315 and his disciples roll through Gyng yesterday. I wouldn't have noticed except for the self-proclimations of greatness issued in local. vOv

Anyways, in a similar vein as OP, could the followng be appropriate as the bumper's anthem?

Deer Tick - "The Bump"

I got a lust for life
and a dangerous mind
In my trail of dust
Who knows what you'll find

I could take a tree
tear it from its roots
If you see me
I suggest you move

We're full grown men
but we act like kids
We'll face the music
next time we roll in

Give me a spark ( give him a spark)
you'll get an atom bomb ( you'll get an atom bomb)
Give me some pills ( give him some pills)
When I can't stand up ( when he can't stand up)

I'm at your function ( he's at your function)
and i'm an animal (he's an animal)
I'm in your town ( he's in your town)
I've got a warrant out!

We're full grown men
but we act like kids
We'll face the music
Next time we roll in

I've got a name ( he's got a name)
They call me The Bump ( they call him The Bump)
One night with me ( one night with him)
Is gonna mess you up ( gonna mess you up)
I saw the light ( he saw the light)
Then I ran like a fool ( he ran like a fool)
I'm a drunken devil ( he's a drunken devil)
I'm the King of Croon

We're full grown men
but we act like kids
We'll face the music
next time we roll in

I'll take that as a vote of appreciation and I would love to hear it when you're done. Smile

fyi everyone, i'm not hating on miners, it just seemed to be the way the lyrics worked out for me P

Dont we have a parody or poem or song writing forum? This is where this piece of ART? Roll belongs. The content is just to much I might implode

I put it here for a reason, and CCP Eterne didn't seem to have a problem with leaving it here when he cleaned it up, so I guess it's safe to say it's right where it belongs Smile

He seems to do it pretty well, IMO.... except for the part where he hasn't noticed you yet Lol
