Sung by Button Mash

Button Mash turned on the new videogame system his mom had in her youth, eager to see what sort of games she played back then.

Nothing happened for about 10 seconds.

Button then nudged one of the control sticks, which kick-started the game. A few seconds later something on the screen happened, and Button was promptly met with a Game Over screen.

"...I don't get it."

In a perfect videogame, the playstyle's tight and sweet
A hero's in your hooves, a saga will follow
But Pongs’s a different game (how do I win again?)
Guess I'll figure it all out tomorrow

Where's the tutorial screen?
And the shoulder pads aren't seen

Nudging the stick and I don't get an intro or something
No player icon, and there's no storyline or something
I believe I don't know how
To play Pong

I don't get why Mom would see why this thing's meant for me
Too much simplicity, and I lost somehow...

I'd like an instruction book
No time flat was all it took

Nudging the stick and I don't get an intro or something
No player icon, and there's no storyline or something
I believe I don't know how
To play Pong

3 seconds in, I'm dead?
Play Dark Foals 2 instead
Yeah..

Nudging the stick and I don't get an intro or something
No player icon, and there's no storyline or something
I believe I don't know how
To play Pong
