Contra Songtext

I used to play Contra, on my cousin Mike′s Nintendo
(Cousin Mike, Cousin Mike, Cousin Mike had Nintendo)
I liked the games
It didn't matter my reaction time was so slow
(Kyle had poor motor skills when he was nine)
We knew a code to get unlimited lives
(We can live forever)
I thought if this were real it sure would be nice
(It has been sweet)
I′d be a super hero because of this code I know
(Tell me Kyle, how'd that code go)

It went
Up up down up down left right left right a b a b select start
Up up down up down left right left right a b a b select start


If I could live forever (yeah)
I'd have so much time to spare
(You′d have time, you′d have time, you already have a lot of free time)
I like to travel and I'd have time to go most anywhere
(Like Burma and Bali and Kenosha, Wisconsin)
It would be just like Ground Hog Day
(With Bill Murray)
I could just imagine all the instruments I could play
(The calliope)
I′d take big risks, do anything on a dare
(I dare you to eat that hairball off the floor)

And just push
Up up down up down left right left right a b a b select start
Up up down up down left right left right a b a b select start

But really though I can't live forever
And I think that′s best
'Cause this world is not my Heaven
Just a temporary nest
And I know this might not make sense to some of you listening now
But our departure from this world
Can be a blessing if you just see how

We don′t need
