		<description>With all of the coverage Jackson&#039;s death has been receiving the past few days, it&#039;s been hard to &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; have one of his songs stuck in my head. That reminded me of some old alternate lyrics my friends and I came up with for &quot;Black or White.&quot; These will only make sense to you if you played (or were aware of) the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TORG&lt;/a&gt; role-playing game back in the early 90s.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Ord or Knight&quot;&lt;/em&gt;
to &lt;em&gt;&quot;Black or White&quot;&lt;/em&gt; by Michael Jackson
by The PowerRolers, 08/11/1992

I saw a Maelstrom Bridge fall out of the sky.
I saw some Edinos and I wondered why.
Now I believe in Cosms, and a Cosm has dropped down here tonight.
But as long as you fight High Lords it don&#039;t matter if you&#039;re Ord or Knight.

I saw the Gaunt Man lying out in the sun.
I started fearing him, now that wasn&#039;t fun.
But I have my own Reality, and I know that I would put up a fight.
&#039;Cause as long as you fight High Lords it don&#039;t matter if you&#039;re Ord or Knight.

I am tired of these High Lords.
I am tired of this war.
I am tired of being transformed back and forth from Earth Core.
I ain&#039;t scared of no Gospog.
I ain&#039;t scared of the Torg.
I ain&#039;t scared of no ninjas, werewolves, or Tharkold cyborgs!

Protection,
For Core Earth&#039;s nations,
Causing grief in human relations.
It&#039;s a turf war, on a cosmic scale.
I&#039;d rather kick some Invader tail.
See we&#039;re trying really hard,
To get Cards and Shards,
With Edinos fighting in our backyards.
I play a Romance Card (not!)
I&#039;m not gonna spend my life living that sub-plot.

So I spend a Possibility
When someone inflicts damage on me.
But as long as you fight High Lords it don&#039;t matter if you&#039;re Ord or Knight.

I said as long as you fight High Lords it don&#039;t matter if you&#039;re Ord or Knight.

I said as long as you fight Gaunt Man it don&#039;t matter if you&#039;re Ord or Knight.

It&#039;s Ord. It&#039;s Knight.
The Possibility Wars.
It&#039;s Ord. It&#039;s Knight.
Whoo!

(repeat)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And no, I did not type that from memory (though I do still remember the &quot;rap&quot; section).</description>
