User blog:Blitz Action/Retaking Toto

I've never exactly held the "Retake Mass Effect" movement in a very high light. I don't agree with their methods, their ideals, or their name. And I especially do not agree with their usage of "hold the line" as it makes rather little sense to me and I can think of several other phrases that would be much more fitting for them.

I especially don't like the phrase because it makes me think of Retake every time I listen to Toto's song Hold the Line. Which is an awesome song which doesn't deserve to be associated with them (mainly because it has nothing to do with them in the first place).

Anyway, I was listening to Hold the Line and thought...maybe I should write lyrics to Hold the Line about "Hold the Line"! And thus this waste of time was born, poking fun at the most extreme elements of the movement.

(I may eventually do a version that follows the life of Major Kirrahe.)

So a one, and a two, and a three (equals six)...

It's not for the people who're loving you all It's not for the people who're so satisfied It's not for the people who played through the end It's not for the people who rate it so high But it is for the people who are Just peeved that Shepard died
