Bloodlust Software Was Awesome

strip mall
milwaukee
a shareware rack
a 3.5 inch floppy encased in shrink wrap
took out my wallet and said
here, i’ll take this
then proceeded to install it on my 386
switched from expanded to extended memory
and after sorting out the RAM I see
a digital display of unspeakable gore
hook up the modem to the phone because I gotta get more
we must
knock the noggins around
adjust
the screwed up settings for sound
blades thrust
leaving limbs on the ground
flesh by the pound
encrusted in the lust
quit to dos
and load up a game
then toss
about heads of the maimed
the last boss
is a takar named staine
the threat is sussed
encrusted in bloodlust
my addiction to their output grew like a virus
‘cause they were weird and maladjusted just like i was
with cool enemies and characters by the dozen
the games were for PC, but the content sure wasn’t
i’m not even talkin' ‘bout the emulators
despite them being as great as they were
studies can’t confirm any effects on consumers
but I grew up all gothic with a sick sense of humor
