in 1977 in sunny sunnyvale california
they rode a giant wave that rolled into the future
on a tide of chips and bits and joysticks and beeping
a blessing or a curse, now ain't that the truth
for better of for worse, the future of our youth
until 83 or 4 that wave came crashing to the shores
and all the games went flying to the shelves of discount stores
cause mr. jack tramiel couldn't get a handle
on the demands of the market
so he told the nerds to park it
down went their plans and the dark ages began
save for in brazil where it was still king of the hill
now our favorite girl's moving up in the world
the lifetime of atari's not over, no, it's just begun
