Fighting in the SCA

It was long ago,
seemed like a dream,
the first day I wore armor,
and heard a helmet's ring.
I was hooked since then,
and I just won't quit,
then I made my own armor,
and it was ugly, I gotta admit.

Then I bought my first helm, for sixty-five bucks.
My mom was upset, thought I'd joined a cult,
My dad said I was a dummy who was running short on luck.
But I can't look back.
Even though my first war, I got hit in the face,
and wound up flat on my back.
So don't tell me not to fight.
Because it's all I wanna do and it's all I think about,
and I have aspirations of becoming a knight.

(chorus)
So don't tell me about Love and Peace,
when beating my friends with a stick is entertaining to me.
Don't tell me to lay my arms down,
I'll fight until I'm planted in the ground.
Whatever happened to Mundane and boring ways.
They've been replaced forever by the SCA.

Then they taught me to play guitar,
and I picked it up quick because I couldn't fight,
I'd somehow managed to injure my arm,
and it's my sword arm, and I took it real hard,
but though I'm well know for swinging a sword,
I'm much better known for being a bard,
so now my reps all f&@k't up,
and I hope the knight's still vote,
cause though it may be fun being a bard,
when I step on the field I still get stoked.
Now they tell me, that I might go far,
but I can't see how when mundane life is kicking my @$$ so hard.

(chorus)

Then they told me I should fight in crown,
but the very first round I got hit in the cup,
and then Sir Artos finally put me down.
and then later, at the Gulf War,
well we taught our enemies a little respect
for the Meridian Machine of War.
Then at the fort, we pressed out luck,
and the Shire of Arenal made a hole big enough for the
King and Queen to park their truck,
and the next time, I fought in Crown,
getting ready for it was a pain in the @$$,
but my performance left me in a state of bliss.

(chorus)
