PLEASANTLY FRUSTRATED

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Song lyric inspired of James P. Gee's therory about learning and computer games.

Melodi: Hopelessly Devoted fra Grease

Guess mine is not the first game over
My thumbs are not the first to ache
I'm not the first to know there's
Exponential gameplay in you

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To play a game until it's through
Cause game, oh can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm pleasantly frustrated by you

But now I boil in my brain
So I start you up again
I'm outta my head pleasantly frustrated by you
Pleasantly frustrated by you
Pleasantly frustrated by you

My head is saying: "Fool! Log off now!"
My heart is saying: "One more turn..."
Play on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm pleasantly frustrated by you

But now I boil in my brain
So I start you up again
I'm outta my head pleasantly frustrated by you
Pleasantly frustrated by you
Pleasantly frustrated by you
