Opti Sings the Hits Special Episode

You don’t want to miss this, little crows… or maybe you do…

For those asking for the lyrics….

US Versus Seretech, Shiawase, holy drek
Corporation intervention, Resource Rush
Oro, Lone Wolf incident, tribal containment
Relocation/education, Saeder Krupp….

Unexplained elves and Dwarves, VITAS wrecks the whole world
Ryumyo, Celedyr, Magic once again comes near
Catholic Pope is being mean, Dunkelzhan comes on the scene
The 6th world has awakened, time to say your goodbyes!

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though the corps don’t like it,
Still we try to fight it,

Daniel Howling Coyote, NAN and Aztlan
Transys Neuronet, Great Ghost Dance
Treaty of Denver, Fuchi, Seattle
Goblinization, Aztechnology

Lone Star gets in line, barrens, crash of ‘29
U-Cass, simsense, Echo Mirage, Cyberdeck
Nuyen, the Matrix, Tir-na-Nog, CAS
Lofwyr, Night of rage, Tir Tairngere

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though the corps don’t like it,
Still we try to fight it,

BTL addiction shock, Yametetsu, Wyrm Talk
Jet Black, HmHVV, Underworld 93
Maria Mercurial, Humanis, Queen Euphoria
Shadowrunners, Spirits free, Renraku Arcology

Universal brotherhood, bug spirits up to no good
Black Ice, 2Xs, cyber upgrades steal essence
A Chicago nuke is blown, Bug City, Containment Zone
UCAS election Cheat, Let’s pray for neo-anarchy

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though the corps don’t like it,
Still we try to fight it,

Joshua, Jake Armitage, Dead Man’s Switch, Dragonfall
Horrors within reach, Steele and Booth are both impeached
List candidates is long, race for president is on
Leonardo goes to war, candidates neglect the poor

Big D and Haeffner win, Light begins to shine again
then, Dunklezhan gets Dead and gone, suspect list goes on and on….

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though the corps don’t like it,
Still we try to fight it,

Oppressive darkness back again, Kyle Haeffner sworn in
Dragon’s will, frustration, Draco Foundation
Scott Commission, astral rift, Children of the Dragon
Strain three in Chicago, an AI’s loose, oh no!

I haven’t mentioned Sally Tsung, Dodger or the dragon Lung
I think I left out Twist and Dirk, Stryper, Skater, shadow work
Anarchy in the sixth world grows, I wanna thank the little crows
So much more to talk about, I can’t get all-of-it out!

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
But when we are gone
The dragons still go on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on…

We didn’t start the fire
Though I am a Shaman,
who is quite uncommon,
We didn’t start the fire
Though it is our planet,
so let’s save it, Dammit!

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though ancient elves won’t like it,
Still we try to fight it…

We didn’t start the fire
It is always baking (bacon?),
Since the world awakened,
We didn’t start the fire
Though the powers hate us,
We will be victorious!

  1. Wonder how many people are going to ask “who is leonardo and who did he go to war with” “horrors?” “though the elves are .. what did you say?”

  2. How to make history, has never been a mystery. Just take away liberty, but leave a little hope
    Just get an elf to have sex, with a fraging t-rex, finally you’re left with a dragon that’s not a hoax

    Now we watch the world turn, by designs of a wyrm
    all we do is watch and wait, as arrives our fate

    Simple cattle are masses, though it’ll be our asses
    suffering consequence, or our ignorance

    Don’t we seem to deserve it?
    it’s our heads that lower as they take over

    Don’t we seem to deserve it,
    We give up our freedom as we look for treason

    Don’t we seem to deserve it?
    the sky is blackening as we watch it happening

    Don’t we seem to deserve it,
    as we lie here dying , not even trying.

    Don’t we seem to deserve it.

    1. I gave up on deepweed sometime ago. Or closer to the point, I worked my hoop off to kick the habit. Now, I am addicted to something much more exciting… the TRUTH!

  3. ^_^ Thanks Opti! Love this song! Scared the living dreck out of my friends at our privately owned brainwashing unit! Haha! Wish you’d seen their faces when they saw the face of Anarchy literally dancing in front of them! Ah… those were the hours… But anyways, I’m actually lost in The Astral right now, the song is a good time killer BTW (not sure if you new ShadowRunners actually use these Old Matrixic terms). Keep up the Podcast Opti, really helps when every being inside of this place is too busy with Shaman and spirit biz to talk. Back in my day we weren’t called ShadowRunners! We were The Revolutionists, Terrorists, Freedom Fighters, Guns For Hire, or just regular Anarchists. Personally I’ve enjoyed the name “Neo-Anarchist” a lot more than the other nicknames. But seriously, I keep trying to talk to these other spirits and all they want to do is Soul stuff. I hung out with Crow the other day. Pretty cool guy, I peaked over his shoulder and actually saw you on his display. So yes Opti, me and Crow know about the cookies, black licorice and ginger snaps you have hidden around the place. But honestly you don’t really need to hide black licorice, the damn Chicago bugs won’t even touch the stuff. But hiding things I guess is just a Crow Shaman thing.

  4. As excellent today, as back then. Truly an anthem for runners, history nerds, truth-fanciers, chummers and pretty much anyone else to be honest.

    Spirits be with you, brother!
