Lyrics to the song of the episode, Playin' Revive:
Well you can tell by the way I slot my cardsI'm a tribal man, no time to talkThey say once the earth was warm, I've been chasm boundSince I was born
And now it's all ice, go that wayAnd I'll explore some new terrainWe just want to build on sandIn this icy frozen wasteland
Whether hibernatin' or if you're populatin'You're playin' Revive, playin' ReviveCrystals you can trade in and machines activatin'And we're playin' Revive, playin' ReviveAh, ha, ha, ha, playin' Revive, playin' Revive Ah, ha, ha, ha, playin' Revive Oh, when you walk
I get low and I play highAnd with some tech upgrades, to the right sideGot gears and food and books to chooseI'm a Kuniban and I just can't lose
And now it's all ice, go that wayAnd I'll explore some new terrainWe just want to build on sandNext to water or a mountain
Whether crates get open or using a switch token You're playin' Revive, playin' ReviveArtifacts get taken as everybody's racin'And we're playin' Revive, playin' ReviveAh, ha, ha, ha, playin' Revive, playin' ReviveAh, ha, ha, ha, playin' Revive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help meSomebody help me, yeahLife goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeahI'm playin' Revive
