The Battle of Tilted Towers

It's our first day out, the new season's here,
And we've all got brand new skins,
We stand together and ready up
And then the fun begins.
We're on Spawn Island with everyone else
Discussing where we'll land,
And all of the adults are far away
Which is good cause they can't understand.

They all say that we shouldn't play
But how can they possibly know,
What it's like to be about to die
When your health is running low?
And how can they know how amazing it is
When you're just about to give in,
But then your fingers think faster than you
And all of a suddenly win.

We're going to land in Tilted Towers
Then we'll each go and open a chest,
And we'll laugh and have fun and we'll argue
About which of our guns is the best.
Then maybe we'll hide for a little bit
It's clever and we don't think it's wrong,
Cause we've learnt that sometimes the winners in life
Are not just the brave and the strong.

But the adults still think it's a waste of time
Though they spend their lives watching TV,
Or reading the papers, or using their phones
And they think that they're better than me.
But I'm learning about resilience
And I'm learning about staying alive,
And that making mistakes then improving
Is the only way to survive.

Then we'll go out and find other players
And when we hear gun shots we'll build,
And the circle will keep getting smaller
And we're probably end up getting killed.
And I know that the adults will ban me
If I don't come the second they call,
But it's fun and it's really exciting
And it's only a game after all.

And the adults they say it's addictive
And they tell us but why should we care?
Because some of us have just thanked the bus driver
And we're floating down through the air.
And I'm with my friends and we're free to roam
And we're working as a team,
And we're about to land in Tilted Towers
And the real world's just a dream.
