As some of you know, I’ve been playing SWTOR. The chorus for this song popped into my head while doing space battles with my Trooper. Enjoy!
The SWTOR grinding song
Lyrics adapted by Taylor Kent. Sung to the tune of Slip Slidn’ Away by Paul Simon.
Just Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding awayI know a Jedi
He finished Tython
He wore his passion for experience
Like a thorny crown
He said buddy
I life in fear
That they will add more levels
I’m afraid this grinding will never endJust Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding awayI know a Trooper
Became a Vangaurd
These are the very words she uses
To Describe her life
She said a good day
I gains two levels
She said bad days when I log in
And think of how being a Commando might be betterJust Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding awayAnd I know a smuggler
Who had a companion
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he’d done
He kept sending him on missions
Just to up his skills
He gave his companion gifts
Then he turned around and sent him to craftJust Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding awayOnly the designers know
They make their plan
Their plans unavailable
To the average player
We grind our levels
Collect our loot
Believe were achieving our goals
When in fact we are just grinding awayJust Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding awayJust Grinding away
Just grinding away
Your know the nearer your next level
The more you’re just grinding away
Mmm…
I’m sure it could be adapted to fit any MMO. And yes, I know it is a bit clunky in places, but I think it works.
