June 23rd 1991 
Let loose, I knew you were born to run 
Six zones, one boss, it was all I needed 
Dashing, ring collecting, unimpeded 

But now you're everything from half a werewolf to a race car driver 
You've lost some weight and your eyes are greener than I recall 
And as I understand there was a game where you became King Arthur 
Bring back the days when playing Sonic was still cool 

Keep your princesses cos 
Sonic doesn't need a story 
He runs fast and gets rings and loop-de-loops his way into your heart 
Sega, learn from your mistakes 
Now it's time to sit down and leave out the cutscenes 
Cos we don't care anymore 

We accepted Tails and Knuckles too 
Flickies took some time but they were cute 
Chaotix started to push my patience 
Amy Rose was an abomination 

His name could be Robotnik, but it could be Eggman, what's it matter 
As long as he still has that flying egg machine 
Don't let me play as him or tell me more about his dead grandfather 
Just swing his marble ball and chain across the screen 

Keep your Olympic games cos 
Sonic doesn't need a story 
He runs fast and gets rings and loop-de-loops his way into your heart 
Sega, learn from your mistakes 
Now it's time to sit down and leave out the cutscenes 
Cos we don't care anymore 

Don't want Silver 
Don't want Dark Gaia 
Don't want Rouge the bat 
Don't want Blaze the cat 
Don't want Shadow 
Don't want Shadow 
Don't want Shadow 
Don't want Shadow
