Lyrics:
Welcome to the campaign
I'm about to put the party in the fast lane
Bring pain to the divine and arcane
Go hard like a bard on cocaine, unchained
I'm a PC's nightmare
Better believe I'm prepared to go there
Bar fight with 71 Bugbears
Put your DPR in a wheelchair
This is the way that it goes
Everyone knows, I keep 'em up on their toes
I never run out of foes, so I suppose
You should be practicing throws
Put a quest up in the Northwest
Railroad you to the Southeast
Won't develop a good story line for like
3 sessions at least
I don't really wanna kill you
But the DM gotta do what the DM gotta do
And if you gonna be coming with an attitude
Let me remind you of all of the latitude
I been allowing you, you're ungrateful
Y'all don't really wanna see me get hateful
Don't nobody wanna see me get ridiculous
And do another TPK
Dice quality clean
Ice all up on my screen
I'm nice until I get mean
There's no in between, I'm a machine, look
I could put all of you into a castle
Full of 1000 chests
And one of the chests contains an item
Required for you to continue the quest
And all of the other unopened containers are
Mimics and traps
So you'll have to open them all to recover the item
Which is a map
That will lead you into a complex dungeon
With enough gold to make the whole team rich
But you better be ready to go to battle
With a Demon Lord and a Lich
So don't bitch when I give you a puzzle
To put a muzzle on your tendency to deviate and metagame
I'm liable to kill a character for no other reason
Than I think that it needed a better name
This game was a mistake
I think I'm gonna need to take a little break
That's it, I'm done, goodbye
Oh yeah, rocks fall, everybody dies

This actually sounds like a pretty fun game.. maybe tone down the chests to something that isn't quite 4 digits.. but still sounds legitimately entertaining to me. Also "I'm liable to kill a character if for no other reason than I think that it needed a better name" was pretty good xD
