[SEE CONTENT NOTE below video description]
Just in time for the release of Civilization V, it’s my first-ever “With Lyrics“ video about a PC game! (Don’t worry Nintendo fans, I’ll be back to my old tricks in no time)
This is also the first “With Lyrics“ video ever to have official endorsement from the original composer! Christopher Tin who composed “Baba Yetu“ graciously let me use part of the instrumental track from the game. He’s got an entire ALBUM of amazing and haunting music. Buy it here!
Very special thanks to Dan Koplowitz for encouraging me to do a “With Lyrics“ for the Civilization franchise.
SUPPORTING CAST:
BULLY ONE: Bernie Stern
BULLY TWO: Brett Vanderbrook (Of “Captain S“ fame!)
BULLY THREE & VOICE OF THE EARTH: Laura Wiese
You probably would have known about this video a lot sooner if you’d been following me on Twitter!
LYRICS
------------------------------
There’s a game called Civilization where you get your own little nation
Be immortal, rule as you see fit, just one click and you can decree shit
From Civ 1 to Civ Revolution, it’s your job to find the solution
Need advice from somebody wiser? Just ask Elvis, he’s your advisor
Everybody thinks you’re nobody important
If this were Fight Club, you’d be Edward Norton.
A gimp, a geek, a shrimp... they call you weak they call you wimp (and so lame!)
Little do they know that you’re a man of power
You can conquer peoples hour after hour
They’d fear you if they lived in the borders of your Civ!
So keep playing Civilization, take good care of your little nation
Start a war with ancient Egyptians, spread your equally valid religion
Win with science, culture, or napalm
Watch out, Gandhi might drop the A-bomb
You can show your neighbors you love them,
Or just beat the dog shit out of them
Oh-ho, KEY CHANGE MOFO!
When you’re playing Civilization, history becomes your creation,
Learn to write before you can read and build the Taj Majal right in Cleveland!
Keep your wits and your sense of humor
Watch out for that prick Montezuma (He’s a douchebag)
You can change the future a lot, see?
You can even make Jewish Nazis
If it’s in your imagination, it can be your civilization
(Civilization is the shit I hope they don’t drop the ball when they bring it to Facebook!)
CONTENT NOTE:
This song has a joke about how you can “make Jewish Nazis“ in the game. The intention back when I wrote it was to dunk on Nazis by making them have to be Jewish and celebrate Hanukkah but I understand that it’s an uncomfortable joke for some and I don’t think I would write it today.
