If you haven’t played Team Fortress 2, you really won’t understand this song.
If you have, however, and you have ever played an Engineer for more than 5 minutes, this is a tune you’ll be able to sympathize with. For once Matthew has forgone the piano entirely for a Johnny Cash-inspired ballad dedicated to the heartless cretins that are the Spies.
This song is also going to be the subject of a new contest soon, so stay tuned!

Lyrics:
Why did you have to stab me?
I’m only doing my job
to keep my people movin’
and standing by the bomb.
My turrets are unhappy,
they bow their head in shame.
The sappers are so heavy,
and I know who to blame.
I blame the Spy-
That dirty, low, back-stabbin’ guy.
He flicked his butt right in my eye,
he’d make a Scottish cyclops cry.
I blame the Spy.
I’m battered, bruised, and bleedin’,
but help is on the way.
Then suddenly my Medic
has stabbed me in the face.
Seems someone tried to warn me
by lighting him on fire,
but really who could blame me?
My circumstance was dire.
I blame the spy.
Won’t someone swat him like a fly?
That tabarnak I wish he’d die,
I’ll make him kiss his ass goodbye.
I blame the Spy.
And like a Wall Street banker
he took everything I had.
Like diving with an anchor
it’s enough to drive me mad.
Nailing him’s a Demo’s pipe dream
or a soldier’s launching pad,
but now that he’s on my team
maybe this guy’s not that bad…
…nope, screw him.
I blame the Spies.
Invisible to untrained eyes.
A fitting end I can’t devise,
he’s even ugly in disguise.
I blame the Spies.
I blame the Spies.

I really liked this one. It brings back memories. I haven’t played TF2 yet, but I used to play TF *all* the time (years ago). I always played the Engineer back when he used to have those really cool EMP grenades.
Kind of makes me want to break out my Orange Box and play something other than Portal…

Really like the song. Think I should give TF2 a try
