DON'T WANNA BE DEFEATED
lyrics by Eben Brooks

Twenty twenty twenty-four missions to go
Don't wanna be defeated
Nothing to do but smite my foes
Don't wanna be defeated
Just 'port me to the entrance, point me at the fray
Hurry, hurry, hurry, or get out of my way
I can't control my teammates, they don't know how to play
Oh, no-o-o-o-ooooooo!

Twenty twenty twenty-four missions to go
Don't wanna be defeated
So many MoBs, so few heroes
Don't wanna be defeated
Just get me on the Task Force; let's begin this show
Hurry, hurry, hurry, the timer's running low/just minutes more to go
I can't control my teammates, I can't control my foes
Oh, no-o-o-o-ooooooo!

Wham! Bam! Ka-slam! Ka-pow! Blam! Ba-bam!
Don't wanna be defeated!

Seriously... Why did I never hear of you while I was playing CoH? I can't afford it anymore, but this would make awesome music to go along with my broadsword/dark scrapper... I hope they keep her on there. I plan on going back, eventually :)

[ebenbrooks]

@talanhawke I don't know. I posted to the CoH boards when I first published these songs, but sometimes board posts get buried. But I'm glad you like it. Thank you.

As for your character, unless it's been more than two or three years since you played, I think she'll still be there. Heck, my brother quit playing for nearly *four* years, and his characters were all intact, right where he left them, when he reactivated his account for Going Rogue. So I think you're probably safe.

[talanhawke]

@ebenbrooks I apologize for not responding before. Life got hectic. Thanks! My financial situation is improving, so I will likely be back on CoH sometime soon (probably after the semester is over). Your music is pumping me up for some mob smashing!

[ebenbrooks]

@talanhawke Yay! :D Glad to hear it. Feel free to global add me, my handle is @Archimagos. :)

[talanhawke]

@ebenbrooks if/when I get back into it, I'll be sure to do so! I would tell you my global, but it's long, complicated, and I can't quite remember how to spell it (it's Gaelic).

[ebenbrooks]

@talanhawke Ah, yes, Gaelic. When the Irish adopted the Roman alphabet, they decided to make Gaelic spelling rules so abstruse that the Romans could never pronounce it correctly. ;-)

@talanhawke CoH has gone free to play, just an fyi... ;) have fun... @liberties, virtue and exalted servers...
