V-Debacle Lyrics

Woke up one morning with an alert on my phone

Low balance messages on all the accounts that we own

I hear from my son's room a victory cheer

Battle royale on the screen it's crystal clear

He's up at dawn controller in hand

But now we're broke He has to be banned

Hours fly by he's glued to the screen

While our bank account's the lowest it's been

Fortnite fever it's taken its toll

thousands in V-Bucks vanished now we're in a hole

Skins and dances emotes galore

Now we're broke in debt thanks to the game store

Friends keep calling "Come join the game!"

But my son's stuck inside feeling the shame

No more Battle Royales no more screen time

He's learning life's lessons dollar by dime

He begged and pleaded "Just one more game!"

But I stood my ground said "You're to blame"

No more late nights no more screen glow

Son you're grounded that's how this is going to go

He's got all the skins the coolest gear

Meanwhile our fridge is empty I'm in tears

Told him "No more V-Bucks you've spent enough"

But he just laughed and said "Dad that's tough!"

Addicted to his digital crack spree

It cost us our savings quite literally

My son is grounded until he's grown

No more V-Bucks his cover's blown

Fortnite fever it's taken its toll

Thousands in V-Bucks vanished now we're in a hole

Skins and dances emotes galore

Now we're broke in debt thanks to the game store

So here's our tale of his digital delight

How my kid spent a fortune in just one night

Next time he asks for V-Bucks I'll firmly say "No way!"

And pray our savings come back someday
