Verse 1
Spent all day browsing r/tf2,
I’m refreshing the page, waiting for something new.
Then I see a new alert, out of the corner of my eye,
And I’m getting all excited like a back turned to the Spy

So I open up my email and what do I see,
A note from Eric Smith sitting right in front of me.
The wait’s paid off, it’s finally here,
Don’t worry guys, it’ll be out next year.

Wait, what?
Don’t worry guys, it’ll be out next year.

Chorus
And Gaben told me it would not be long.
So I waited, and hoped he would not be wrong.
For 8 long months and now I’m singing this song,
‘Cause Gaben told me it would not be long.

Valve Time.
Valve Time.

Verse 2
A year went by and nothing really changed,
And they haven’t said a word, they forgot ‘bout this game.
We’re still waiting on an update, and it’s really getting old,
And the pipeline’s running drier than Badwater or Dustbowl.

Just as we’re losing hope, I see a notification.
All aboard all aboard, hype train’s about to leave the station.
I open up my email and what do I see?
Update’s delayed until after Half Life 3.

Wait, what?
Don’t worry guys, it’ll be out next year.

Chorus
And Gaben told me it would not be long.
So I waited, and hoped he would not be wrong.
For 8 long months and now I’m singing this song,
‘Cause Gaben told me it would not be long.

Valve Time.
Valve Time.

Bridge
Why you always gotta do this to us?
Leave us in the dark and make us feel clueless.
Can we please, can we please, can we please,
Please just get an update and not be teased?

Valve I know, you’ve got a lot on your plate,
But if you could, if you would,
Just give us a TF2 update .

Don’t worry guys it’ll be out next year.

Chorus
And Gaben told me it would not be long.
So I waited, and hoped he would not be wrong.
For 8 long months and now I’m singing this song,
‘Cause Gaben told me it would not be long.

Valve Time.
Valve Time.
Valve Time.
Valve Time.
