Please tell what I have done wrong,
My life gave so much pleasure,
But now that pleasure shall be gone.
My existence was unique,
My power full and strong,
My games nothing short of brillant,
So what did go wrong?
I am just a piece of hardware,
Programmed to do what they say,
I ran about like anything,
Behind the graphics in your games.
All I needed was some backing up,
By my creators or my fans,
But the way I have gone down,
It feels as though I have been kicked to the sand.
You may think I don't have feelings,
Just sitting there in your room,
But all the times you needed me,
You played and you got through.
Sega, My creator,
What have you done?
I know you tried your best,
But your best was not done.
It feels as though I'm rejected,
I feel as though I'm lost,
Developing for others,
You just shoved me off.
I remember my launch,
In full bloom,
I sprung from the bottom,
Even beat the Playstation 2.
My Christmas line up was unrivaled,
Wih MSR and Shenmue,
You even planned the sequels,
So now what will you do?
You spent more times down the arcade,
Concerntrating on your money,
All the people wanted was a game to desire,
You had to spare one more penny.
Sega you had the mind,
You knew what was to be done,
But Sega you didn't do that,
Now look what you have done.
Well goodbye now,
My life wasn't to long,
Remember me for always,
The Dreamcast within you.
The DC could come back,
Like hits from Suzanne Vega,
or a song from Cilla Black.
We'll miss out on Shenmue 2,
For that we will be sad,
Like Rippin' said, what will we do?
Is our future lookin' bad?
Sega's games will still be coming,
So by a Sony fast,
Then cover it with a blanket,
and pretend that it's a DreamCast.
