So your life has screwed you over Made you feel just out of place Well, I have some advice ‘Cause I’m in the same headspace Here’s my secret strategy It always works because The world doesn’t dull It just feels like it does So raise your cursor hand now Or open your phone Come to camp when the world’s boring And write your own But don’t twist in knots to find a plot Write what makes you satisfied And if it needs some work, At least you tried And if you abandon it from this moment on That’s perfectly fine too ‘Cause we’d all rather write We’d all rather write We’d all rather write than live here too We’re supposed to all be happy And be fine with how we live Is that really fair? Through other worlds, we could all fare! Here’s the way that all turns out, We always understand How to make up new worlds Like the back of our hand! So here’s my cursor hand now As I open a doc ‘Cause sometimes with how we live, Through new worlds we must walk So I’ll stop pretending I’m happy I won’t fake being satisfied Let’s just write, and find joy there Not lead dull lives Let’s call writers together Make up worlds that are brand new It’s a camp where we write ‘Cause we’d all rather write We’d all rather write than live here too! I’ll make plots! (Plots!) I’ll make characters! In new worlds with new rules and new names! And in these cabins with other writers, The month’s all fun and games! And when the Cabin Wars start, Like they inevitably do, I will not rest and abandon you until the war is through, ‘Cause I will write! (Writers, writers, writers, writers!) I know I have made improvements I’ve made plenty of improvements Everybody’s made improvements but we’re not perfect, true What’s true is we can write, And we’d all rather write We’d all rather write than live here too! So war away ‘cause not warring today Is insulting what we can do! (Write, write, write!) We’d all rather write We’d all rather write We’d all rather write than live here too! We’d all rather write We’d all rather write We’d all rather write than live here too!!
