Look at them line up
a small army to be sure
ready to get us
with their arsenal of nerf
colorful nerf arsenal.
Our team is just 2
too bad I throw like a girl
and run like I’m old
sorry I’m not any help
nope I sure won’t be a help.
You be the soldier
now go and tag every one
and I’ll be the pawn
I’m the target and you’re hope
you are our chance I am not.
A reprieve when a
sympathizer and his son
take pity on us
and cross the gym to our side
our side needs you more than them.
Three and a half now
(I’m not sure who the half is)
against their army
well, at least this should be quick
pretty quick it will be done.
Fast and furious
the balls are flying at me
duck and jump and duck
scoot and sidestep, twist and turn
twist and turn, scoot and sidestep.
They aim for them first
then turn on me, the non-threat
I wish I could throw
they swarm on me and attack
I might have nightmares about this.
I know I’m done for
the game is over speedily
we are the losers
but we put up a good fight
a good fight we sure put up.
