I wrote a ballad about Fallout 1!

Blinn

First time out of the vault
What's up, NMA? Recently, while playing through Fallout 1 I decided to write a ballad which describes my experiences with the game. Have a listen and see what you think!

Ballad of Fallout

Lyrics:
Once you're told that War never changes
Clicking new game, you see some strangers,
Who do you pick, Natalia or Max Stone?
That weird guy named Albert, or just make your own..?
Suddenly a dude in a blue suit says, "Hey, we've got a problem,
We're running out of water at a rate that's worrying.
Would you mind heading out to grab us a Water Chip?"
So you scavenge for some stuff, which you plan to equip.

You exit Vault 13 and the sun's quite blinding,
And turn your mind to things which you should be finding,
Heading east to Vault 15 you suddenly,
Crash land in shady sands just to see what you can see
It's a little rural village with not much to say,
You kill some radscorpions and call it a day,
Rescue the chief's daughter from some raider punks,
and recruit a guy named Ian who you found near some drunks

Back in the wasteland, Vault 15 was a bust,
nothing there but some rats and a whole lot of rust,
Ian tells you of a place named Junktown,
maybe they can help you figure out what's going down
But when you arrive there, there's a full on war,
You meet Killian, who's the mayor, and he also runs a store,
He coaxes you into spying on a fat cat named Gizmo,
It's not too hard to sneak into his guarded casino,

While in Junktown, you make good friends with a dog,
Who follows you around, and is iconic, and is a dog.
Immediately you like him, but you like him more,
when he knocks over enemies with a slap of his paw
You level up a bit and spend all of your skill points,
Get some sweet perks and hit the local strip joints,
But you're suddenly reminded that you haven't done your best,
When your Pip-Boy displays "Only 100 days left..."

Now at this point if you'd been playing Fallout like me,
You forgot about the Vault and did a killing spree,
Took all the drugs you found and single-handedly,
Tried to take down the Brotherhood while shouting with glee,
But don't be swayed by my poor results,
and all the local shopkeepers I tried to insult,
cos according to the manual of Fallout 2,
I beat the game and did exactly what I was meant to do.

dude this is freakin' blrilliant :)

Thanks! I had considered doing the entire plot of the game but that would have been like a 12 minute song, heh.
