Is it just a child at play? Just smashin' his toys hard
That he's grabbed off the shelf
War between Samus and Bayonetta? Okay
Like a fanfic, where anything can go
But instead of black-bar scenes
There is violent whackiness

Under the thumb of leather-clad phalanges, no arm
Of any sort to follow
Under his thumb, they call him Master Hand, his whole plan
Is to make pain

The lore is surprisingly lax, who the hell is this guy?
There's no explanation why he's there
But a reason, I don't need
To kill many kinds of Link

Under the thumb of he who brings Nintendo dudes harm
Have no choice but to follow
Under his thumb, they call him Master Hand, heart, he lacks
No soul or shame
Under the thumb of some grand bein' who wants to farm
Stock of misplaced bravado
Under his thumb, they call him Master Hand, he commands
It's in his name

Evil? Certain of that I am not
'Cause that Crazy Hand's more sinister, don't want him (want him)
Stop him

Under the thumb of some weird entity, since the start
The first game's movie intro
Under his thumb, they call him Master Hand, he'll attack
In the endgame
Under the thumb (under the thumb) of some eldritch bein' who's in charge
I guess 'cause Tabuu said so?
Under his thumb, they call him Master Hand, we're all damned
To play his game (his game)
