Origin: Viva La Vida
I used to rule the stores
Shelves would warm when I came in stock
Now these days I hide alone
See the aisles I used to own
I used to spam the shelf
Feel the hate in fan's eyes
As the kids would sing
"Now Boomer is gone!" "Long live the eight!"
One minute the stores were full of me
And next the scalpers closed in on we
I discovered that my fans still stood
Upon pillars of rares, pillars of left
I hear scalper phones a-ringing
New wave hunters a singing
Be my buyer, my master and shield
My defenders in a hating field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you left there is never,
never an honest guy
But that was when I ruled the stores
It was the wicked and wild kids
Blew down the doors to take me in
Broken hearts and the sound of tears
Kids couldn't believe how rare I'd become
Ebay scalpers wait
For myself on a silver base
Just a toy in a lonely box
Oh who would ever want to be rare?
