The Bait and Switch

[Verse 1] We got a buddy who loves to play Says he’ll join us any day Promises to log in, but where does he go? Leaves us hanging, man, it’s quite a show [Chorus] He’s the king of the bait and switch Always got us waiting, it’s his little glitch We’re here in the game, but he’s MIA The fisherman’s gone fishing, what can we say? [Verse 2] Every night we hear the same old line, “I’ll be there soon, just give me time.” But the hours pass and we sit and wait Hoping and wondering, it’s getting late Our fisherman friend, where can he be? Out casting lines, or just watching TV? He’s got us hooked with his baiting game Leaving us stranded, it’s always the same [Bridge] We laugh and joke, 'cause we all know He’s got a knack for the perfect no-show We send the invite, we wait and see The fisherman’s baited us, effortlessly [Verse 3] So if you hear him say, “I’ll be there at eight,” Just know it’s another classic fisherman’s bait We’ll still send the invite, with hope in our hearts But we know the game’s over before it even starts [Outro] Though he leaves us hanging, time and again He’s still our buddy, through thick and thin With a grin and a laugh, we’ll keep him around ‘Cause one day he’ll join us, and we’ll all be astound So here’s to the fisherman, the master of the game We’ll keep on waiting, he’ll show up just the same Until that day comes, we’ll laugh and play The fisherman’s our friend, come what may
