The Lament of the Random Numbers (to the Toss of the Dice): a Musical EU4 Experience

[TurtleShroom]

-AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!​

This is hardly an AAR. It's a fan fiction piece (since this subforum sayss AAR and fan fiction) that I came up with when I was in the shower. I thought it was worth sharing. This is a song parody: you load up the YouTube link and follow the parody words (written below) with the melody.

If this gets positive feedback, I'll make more. If this gets negative feedback, I'm probably dumb enough to make more anyway.

Each song will come with its own old-timey sheet music cover for your enjoyment.

Now then. Let's begin!

MELODY
​

{Instrumental}

There goes half my provinces,
There's, another file to clean.
-and all those late night sessions, man
Well now they don't mean a thing.

It's just the same old story
How'd I, lose another game?
It's so easy to sweep
With the stacks that I made
-but thanks to my luck
I guess the zeroes made my foe's day.

Oh!

I used to be on fire,
-but now I'm vassalized!
I lost my good streak
It's time to now delete, yeah!

Tell me what takes to have succes!
-and tell me how this game's supposed to go!

Tell me how it is
That I don't scream
At this game,
Without thinking I lost ev'rything that was good in my life to the toss of the DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!

Tell me what it takes to win this game! Yeah!

Oh, before this battle, I was
F-I-N-E, fine.
-but the foe wiped every man I had
Yet all the stats were on my side!

I spent all of my money,
-and then I've, merce'naires to hire,
-but the battle was deep
In the mountains they sweeped,
'Cause I got a bad roll and the morale said goodbye!

Tell me what takes to have succes!
-and tell me how the game's supposed to go!

Tell me how it is
That I don't scream
At this game,
Without thinking I lost ev'rything that was good in my life to the toss of the DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!

Tell me what it takes to win this game!

{Instrumental}

Tell me why I'm crappy and why I get owned!
Why, why, why?!

Tell me why I'm coming back to play the same!
Tell me why my PC won't uninstall this game!
Tell me I'm addicted to this game and as such,
Tell me why I'm crying yet I start a new gaaaaaaaaaaaame!

Tell me what takes to have succes!
-and tell me how the game's supposed to go!

Tell me how it is
That I don't scream
At this game,
Without thinking I lost ev'rything that was good in my life to the toss of the DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!

Tell me who's to blame for playing more!
'Cause I 'gotta still conquer paradise!
OOOOOOOOHHH!
I still 'gotta paint paradise!

Of all the musical numbers I made, this is the one I truly relate to the most. I am sure all of you can sympathize with one lost battle ending in your annexation and/or absolute destruction.
