Lyrics:
Welcome to Activision, take a look around,
Believe us when we say accountability’s not found,
We've got mountains of lawsuits, comeuppance is due,
but Call of Duty had a fruitful Q2...

Welcome to Activision, Come and take a seat
Just please don’t read the news or your own favorite’s latest tweet
Our ego’s gigantic, we may grope a breast,
HR responds about as good as you guess...

Welcome to Activision, make yourself at home!
Would you like to get real tipsy in the cubicles you roam?
Get Rapey! Get Testy! Have fun to the max!
We pay our consequences like it’s a tax!

Welcome to Activision, you're in for a treat
If you're hot we'll welcome you into our famous Cosby Suite
Our company women, we hope you get your fill
Of getting harassed while Bobby gets another $200 million dollars

Welcome to Activision, could you please confirm
That you want to leech from children and get cash from the infirm
Be snappy, be thorny, give pitiful wage
Just please be quiet ‘bout what’s behind the stage!

Welcome to Activision, say what makes you tick!
As the travesties grow larger in the shadow of Kotick!
You want to complain then, well, that isn’t wise...
Ignore the people calling to unionize!

Welcome to Activision, come join the chorus
Just ignore that the executives just got a big bonus
And the protests, and letters, and boycotts galore!
And all the revenue that we all keep offshore.

Do you want to play a video game?
It is all fine!
A simple video game?
It is all fine!
Games are not political.
To say so, we’ll decline.
Play another video game?
It is all fine!

Do you want to play a video game?
It is all fine!
A simple video game?
It is all fine!
Games are not political.
To say so, we’ll decline.
play another video game?
It is all fine!

You know, it wasn't always like this, at least that’s what we’ll say…

Not very long ago, all before this hate
Just before Vivendi fell, mid 2008
We had Terran spawns, a giant con
A Wow guild or two
We played it nice, and rolled the dice
and we got
You, you, exploitable you
While you logged on to grind dailies,
Our profits only grew.
And we all did the things
That corporations all do…

Now look at you,

look at you, you, you,
Unmarketable, comparable
To whiny tots
Now we are caught
A sad jpeg won’t do
And if you just forget this
You know what we’ll do
It was always the plan
To put the games in your hands

(Maniacal laughter)

Do you want to play a video game?
It is all fine!
A simple video game?
It is all fine!
Games are not political.
To say so, we’ll decline.
play another video game?
It is all fine!

Do you want to play a video game?
It is all fine!
A simple video game?
It is all fine!
Games are not political.
To say so, we’ll decline.
Play another video game?
It is all fine!
