I NEED AN ALLY

Watch and hum along as you read.


I Need an Ally (with apologies to Bonny Tyler)


[musical intro]

Where have all my allies gone?
They're fighting with themselves,
Where's the clever confidant who always has my back?
Why shouldn't I feel paranoid? I know I'm doomed.
They look at me and snicker
While I'm pleading for some help.

[Chorus]
I need a hero.
I really want a score that is better than zero.
It's gotta be fast
And it's gotta be soon
So he can pull my ass from the fire.
Who'll be my ally?
You will get a great partner who doesn't know any shame.
I'll give you advice
And I'll give you backup
And I swear I won't stab you too soon.

It's near the end of the game,
Somehow I'm still alive.
No alliance withstood the
Easy temptation of the stab.
Now the board's a mess that we call a stalemate line.
It's time for more beer since the game is now written off.

[Chorus]
