    LYRICS
    Don't, don't, don't let's start
    This is the worst part
    Could believe for all the world
    That you're my precious little girl
    But don't, don't, don't let's start
    I've got a weak heart
    And I don't get around how you get around
    When you are alone
    You are the cat, you are the phone
    You are an animal
    The words I'm singing now
    Mean nothing more than "meow"
    To an animal
    Wake up and smell the cat food
    In your bank account
    Don't try to stop the tail
    That wags the hound
    D, world destruction
    Over an overture
    N, do I need
    Apostrophe T, need this torture?
    Don't, don't, don't let's start
    This is the worst part
    Could believe for all the world
    That you're my precious little girl
    But don't, don't, don't let's start
    I've got a weak heart
    And I don't get around how you get around
    No one in the world
    Ever gets what they want
    And that is beautiful
    Everybody dies
    Frustrated and sad
    And that is beautiful
    They want what they're not
    And I wish they would stop
    Saying Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa
    Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa
    D, world destruction
    Over an overture
    N, do I need
    Apostrophe T, need this torture?
    Don't, don't, don't let's start
    This is the worst part
    Could believe for all the world
    That you're my precious little girl
    But don't, don't, don't let's start
    I've got a weak heart
    And I don't get around how you get around
    I don't want to live in this world anymore
    I don't want to live in this world
    Don't, don't, don't let's start
    This is the worst part
    Could believe for all the world
    That you're my precious little girl
    But don't, don't, don't let's start
    I've got a weak heart
    And I don't get around how you get around

      The lyrics in the song continue with "Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful" and I think that's what the author is indirectly referring to as some kind of 'insider / hidden / subtext ... call it sarcasm or deep ... whatever you call it... I'm sure you get the point... I love it

    Gunter here too. Well... Kind of. I have read Ready Player One a few times. Every time I get to that part, I know I know that passphrase, but can't quite place it. One of those things that you know you know, but when you're trying to remember you can't quite get there. So it bugs me enough to look it up, and then I'm always happy it brings me to one of my favorite songs.

    I vow, to the Unfathomable Inferno of 50 Million Suns, that I shall one day put Ernest Cline to justice for ever even thinking to entangle this masterpiece of a song with the horrendous mess of 80s-centric cultural references that is Ready Player One.
