    Story Behind the Song
    I was minding my own business one day, browsing the Dungeons and Dragons books in B. Dalton's, when this pushy old bat storms up to me and starts telling me (very loudly) about how I'm going straight to Hell for playing THAT DEVIL GAME.

    Then, just to make it more interesting, she told me I was too old to be playing games, anyhow.

    I pointed out that she was WAY too old for the steamy romance book she was buying, so where does she get off saying anything to me??

    At that point, my boyfriend dragged me out of the store - and of course, I went right home and wrote a song about the silly old hag.

    Here it is. Play this song LOUD ... and remember to sing along with the drunken Viking "Whoa-OH!s"

    NOTE: "D&D" is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast, and is used without permission.

    However, I have a letter from them that says I CAN use "D&D," but I have to SAY it's without permission ... which sorta sounds like they gave me permission. Beats me - must be some sort of lawyer stuff.

    Anyhow, you people DON'T have a letter from WotC, so I strongly suggest that you don't try using "D&D" in any of your work - because their legal staff is quite obviously insane. =D

    P.S. Special thanks to WotC for that letter!

    P.P.S. This song (other than the trademark "D&D") is MINE - all MINE! Don't try to cop it from me; remember, I'm one of those freaked-out D&D people ... I'm liable to drop a Flamestrike right on your fool head.

    Love, Kristen.

    Lyrics
    Since there's nothing you can do
    'bout crime, disease, and wars,
    You'll stick your nose into our lives
    Instead of living yours

    Don't wanna hear what you think of me
    Mark my words, and mark them well
    We'll keep playing D&D
    and YOU can go to Hell!

    No harm in having a good time,
    But harm's in tales they tell
    The threats of fire and brimstone
    they rattle off so well

    I'm not a menace to society
    Mark my words, and mark them well
    We'll keep playing D&D
    and YOU can go to Hell!

    I know there are no dragons
    underneath the stairs
    At least I don't see devils hiding everywhere

    I'll never kill my neighbors,
    I'd never hurt a fly
    I'd never cheat the faithful
    I'd never rob them blind

    So fill the air with your foul lies
    and paranoiac view
    I'll pray that someday we'll be free
    From hypocrites like you

    Don't wanna hear what you think of me
    Mark my words, and mark them well
    We'll keep playing D&D
    and YOU can go to Hell!
    YOU can go to Hell!
    YOU can go to Hell!
