Eulogy Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen we're gathered here today

To remember all our friends who've gone before

It's been more than twenty years, and I've not shed one tear

Now listen up and hear my eulogy

Twenty bucks in quarters in 1989

Equaled an afternoon adventure

Teenage turtles and exciting bikes

Were all my friends

Saving the world three chances at a time

But now it is all gone

The world it has moved on

Seems something has gone wrong

That's why we sing this song

So here's to the Arcade

And what you meant to me

A symbol of in person camaraderie

But now you're dead and gone

The world it has moved on

A victim to Xbox and Angry Birds

While sitting up in my room

By my stereo

Waiting for a certain song to play

When it would finally come up

I'd press record

And pray the DJ doesn't talk between

So here's to the Mix Tape

And what you meant to me

A symbol of teen angst and phsycology

But now you're dead and gone

The world it has moved on

A victim to iTunes and MP3's

When wandering through the aisles

Of my local store

Equaled and evening of adventure

Whatever cassette I might rent

I'd take it back rewound

To avoid any penalties

So here's to the Video Store

And what you meant to me

A symbol of impression and discovery

But now you're dead and gone

The world it has move on

A victim to YouTube and the Netflix
