The Weapon of Tomorrow
02:44
|
|||
Tomorrow's a Sunday, and we've got plenty that's on our list
of things to maybe worry about
We can all run out and shout about
the weapon of tomorrow
weapon of tomorrow
it's a great big, maybe, meltdown. catastrophe
Or maybe it's nothing. wait and see
tomorrow's a fun day, and we've got plenty that's in our plans
goat yoga. Schnitzel with sauerkraut
Until we all forget about
the weapon of tomorrow
weapon of tomorrow
it's a great big, maybe, meltdown. catastrophe
Or maybe it's nothing. wait and see
It's in the news and everyone is up in arms with picket signs
and amplified opinions, plastered with conviction
tomorrow's a someday and we've got plenty that's on our minds,
(tomorrow) and then there's yesterday
eventually we think about
the weapon of tomorrow
weapon of tomorrow
it's a great big, maybe, meltdown. catastrophe
Or maybe it's nothing. wait and see

Hold My Nuts

Hold my nuts
they're unsalted and mixed
you can have the almonds and cashews too
hold my nuts - I insist
if that's what you're into
There was a very kind woman on the bus last week
and we talked about some geeky things
we came to a conclusion that to rule them all,
you only really need one ring
it was then I knew she would be my friend
I like to share things that I like too
Hold my nuts
they're unsalted and mixed
you can have the almonds and cashews too
hold my nuts - I insist
if that's what you're into
There was a really cool guy at Target today
I met him in the cat litter aisle
we both agreed that when you scoop the poop,
the smell makes it hard to smile
it was then I knew that he would be my pal
I like to share things that I like too
Hold my nuts
they're unsalted and mixed
you can have the almonds and cashews too
hold my nuts - I insist
if that's what you're into
Most people love my nuts, but I always caution
they're high in calories
I never want to pull them out
to someone with allergies
Hold my nuts
they're unsalted and mixed
you can have the almonds and cashews too
hold my nuts - I insist
if that's what you're into

Pre-GRL
02:05
|

It started as a modest plan, laid out with the best intentions in mind
to build a talking transistor radio
that could open up Venetian blinds
but they got too ambitious
they took it too far
quickly it turned into a cupholder
to be installed in electric cars
and it would heat your coffee
it would chill your tea
it would translate your thoughts in Greek,
and send them to your neighbors
but nobody wanted that
and so they shut the whole thing down
They kept on tinkering
wiring circuits and welding plates
they built a monstrosity
then that metal-bound monster escaped
it'll heat your coffee
it'll chill your tea
it'll translate your thoughts in Greek,
and send them to your neighbors
but nobody wanted that
and so they shut the whole thing down

Giant Robot Llamageddon
04:06
|

I've got my bags for the weekend
gonna treat it like a getaway
I've got the sci-fi, I've got the fantasy
things to read, and the Yerba mate
they say get out, while you still can
it's rolling in
the interstates are lined with panic
this is how the end of time begins
from up high in a helicopter
I see them trample over Monterey
making mechanical noises that could be laughter
it sounds like disarray
I've got my bags packed for the weekend
complete with llama repellent spray
I've got the crosswords. I've got the Oreos
So much fun in our dying days
they say get out, while you still can
it's rolling in
the interstates are lined with panic
this is how the end of time begins
from up high in a helicopter
I see them trample over Monterey
making mechanical noises that could be laughter
it sounds like disarray
Giant robot llamageddon
40 feet high, so you can't pet them
look out for the droppings from above
giant robot llamageddon
who made these beasts, and then upset them?
surely it's a madman's labor of love

When Disaster Strikes
02:31
|
|||
we've seen a lot of real tough times these last few years
we've had some laughs. we've cried some tears
everyone knows when the hurricane hits
what the people need
everyone knows they need paper towels
everyone knows when the fire burns
what the people need
everyone knows they need to rake the leaves
everyone knows when the KKK runs a woman over with a car
at a rally with a great divide
there are fine people on both sides
everyone knows shots fired in church
when people die
everyone knows they need armed guards inside

Acronym Man
02:48
|

everyone likes him well enough. that is, at first
it starts with LOL, but it gets worse
he only speaks in acronyms
so nothing he says makes any sense
"Hi. how are you doing. and what's the time?"
is just HHAYDAWTT
Acronym Man, please go easy
I can't figure this out at all
Acronym Man, just give me a sentence
give me a word, and you can give me a call
He gave me ESIZWCP
Elephants sit in zoos where children play
I gave him DAMIO TUITMAD
Dammit, Acronym Man
In order to understand, it takes me all day
Acronym Man, please go easy
I can't figure this out at all
Acronym Man, just give me a sentence
give me a word, and you can give me a call
He gave me SIFIT CWYLK
Sorry I farted in the car with you last week
I gave him DAM ICHB
Dammit, Acronym Man
I could hardly breathe
Acronym Man, please go easy
I can't figure this out at all
Acronym Man, just give me a sentence
give me a word, and you can give me a call

Walk Through Walls
02:40
|
|||
All my friends can do cool things, like floating up in the sky
My roommate, Pete, shoots photon beams
right out of his left eye
and I want to do the cool things too
But I walk through walls and it ain't no use
whatever I phase through, I can't get through to you
My best friend - she can time travel
she brings me things back from tomorrow
my dog shape shifts into a pencil, and it just fills me with sorrow
and I want to do the cool things too
But I walk through walls and it ain't no use
whatever I phase through, I can't get through to you
I can't convince you otherwise
you are resolved to a senseless shame
I point the finger at you. You point the finger at me
we got plenty to blame
My neighbor stretches out his arms, and he can stretch his pony tail
his hair is so majestic, whenever it stretches to grab the mail
and I want to do the cool things too
But I walk through walls and it ain't no use
whatever I phase through, I can't get through to you
I make up a spreadsheet with my statistics
I've got them cited in MLA
backed by the leading experts, who all confirm just what I say
but you shake your head and walk out
out the door with illogical man
whose power is making you believe just any stupid thing you can
and I want to do the cool things too
But I walk through walls and it ain't no use
whatever I phase through, I can't get through to you

Damn You, PerfectMan
02:44
|
|||
people say I'm a villain
they don't appreciate my talents the way they should
they think I'm a common criminal
like I should wear tights and stand for something good
people fear my presence when I'm only out to grab some supper
before I can explain, they run and make a scene
like I'm there just to make them suffer
and they call perfect man
in the middle of my burger and fries
he hits me with a sucker punch and they all cheer for my demise
yeah they all cheer perfect man
the muscle brain bully with the spray on tan
I just wanted my dinner tonight
damn you, perfect man
it's all a misunderstanding
a super villain who looks like me did some things
they were awful and stupid
but we have the same sweater. the same color green
and they call perfect man
in the middle of my burger and fries
he hits me with a sucker punch and they all cheer for my demise
now they always call perfect man
when they see me out walking by
minding my own business -
I get zapped by his laser eyes

Get Off My Lawn!
01:20

hey, llama. you don't scare me
you better move along
you squashed my two red rose bushes
now dammit, get off my lawn
hey, llama. I mean it, you
you best be moving on
you trampled down my mailbox, dammit
go! get off my lawn!
hey, llama. you don't scare me
you better move along
you took out my two front headlights
and the paperboy named Ron
hey, llama. I mean it, you
you best be moving on
you trampled down my mailbox, dammit
go! get off my lawn!

Fifty-Two Tons of Fun
02:15
|
|||
I've got tell you - since I've been away
I really don't miss that place from yesterday
I've had some time to think it over
and now I'm in Tahiti, and much less sober
So let that thing tear down the town
I'm happier here, in this place I've found
and I don't care about the damage done
I'm in paradise, having fifty-two tons of fun
I miss Philz coffee in the bay
but I grow my Kona to caffeinate
I've had some time to drink it over
and I love it on the island when I'm not hungover
So let that thing tear down the town
I'm happier here, in this place I've found
and I don't care about the damage done
I'm in paradise, having fifty-two tons of fun
fifty-two tons of fun
I'll stay here, 'till the llama's gone
fifty-two tons of fun
Beachside with the setting sun
So let that thing tear down the town
I'm happier here, in this place I've found
and I don't care about the damage done
I'm in paradise, having fifty-two tons of fun

Hey. So, like.. where did everybody go?
Tom? ... shit...
I need a frappuccino
where did that llama go?
I'ma sing now... here's a song
I am a person, and my name rhymes with mock turtle soup
Eww! who eats that?
My name is Leslie Shaboop
Shaboop!
I don't know where I am, and the buildings are all broken and stuff
All I have left is this bag of marshmallow fluff
marshmallow fluff is like, yummy clouds - but for your mouth
People keep screaming from far away somewhere, but I can't see them
They're gonna ruin my song! Rude...
Shaboop!
I used to have a cat, and her name was Biscuit
one time I did shrooms and she totally spoke for like, a minute
she said I was pessimistic. Rude!
Shaboop!
I can't believe there's no reception on my phone right now
I have like, no bars.
I just took a selfie, but I can't send it out
Verizon is ruining my day. They're like, so rude...
Shaboop!
I don't know why I have a can opener in my pocket
One time, when I was a kid, I tried to stick it in an electric socket
It got all hot and fuzzy, and it bit me. Rude!
Shaboop!
Shaboop!
