Blaze of Vandals

Blaze of Vandals, sung to the tune of Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi

Lyrics

I wake up in the mornin'
And I raise my weary head.
My laptop was my pillow,
And the table was my bed.
I'm going to Recent Changes, To find those vandals.
I'm an RC patroller,
A rollback lover,
A fighter in the field.
Yeah!

When you're rolling back those vandals,
They say you're born with rollback rights.
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to request or win.
Well I tell them that they're wanted,
Yeah, they are wanted men.
I'm a stick in their mud,
They're what Cain was to Abel
And I'll catch them if I can.

I'm going down in a blaze of vandals.
Take me now, but know it's wrong.
I'm going down in a blaze of vandals.
Lord I never trolled first
But I warned them first
I fight vandals.
Call me rollbacker.

They ask why I reverted.
I tell them they vandalized.
Then they vandalize my user page.
And I take it all away.
They ask me if I know vandalism
And what it's like to revert vandalism.
Well I've seen vandalism come.
I've seen it reverted.
I've seen the vandals be blocked in vain.

Shot down in a blaze of vandals.
Take me now, but know it's wrong.
I'm going down in a blaze of vandals.
Lord I never trolled first
But I warned them first
I fight vandals.
Call me rollbacker.

Yeah!

Each night I go to bed
I pray the vandals don't attack me.
I'm looking for semi-protection,
Let's see if they'll give it to me.

Admin, I've got to ask a favor,
And I hope you understand,
My user page should be semi-protected
Don't let this rollbacker lose his rights.
Protection was denied,
I have to make my final stand.

Shot down in a blaze of vandals.
Take me now, but know it's wrong.
I'm going down in a blaze of vandals.
Lord I never trolled first
But I warned them first
I fight vandals.
Call me rollbacker.
I'm a rollbacker.
Rollback, yeah, rollback.
