I wake up wound up and wet
And so upset
I’m sweating bullet trains
I must have swallowed Christian Grey
My stomach’s full of high-end knots
And so it’s writ in the stars
And in the entrails
Here’s the name of the beast
No one likes an
Idiot who thinks that she’s happy
Idiots who think they’re happy
Marching off in lockstep
So I play nice
With my gratis advice
Wipe that look
You only think that you’re happy
In the event of a loss of cabin pressure
Or water landing
Please be sure you’re sure to secure
Your own before assisting children
And so the central conceit
It doubles as a
A flotation device
No one likes an
Idiot who thinks that she’s happy
Idiots who think they’re happy
Marching off in lockstep
So I play nice
With my gratis advice
Wipe that look
You only think that you’re happy
You only think that you’re happy
You only think that you’re happy
You only think that you’re happy
You only think that you’re happy

12 million femurs are stacked in the catacombs
Leaving 182 missing bones times
6 million Parisians
Scholars say of the zombie hypothesis
When the Cranberries sing the word, you may tell
It’s just a random thing that they think sounds cool
One thousand years
One thousand years
They can hover
Then they dissipate, disapparate,
Disappear and desert us forever
Haunting is for business left undone
They’re among us to repair some worldly affair and then they move on
So every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Hostile forces possess mundane articles
Like a dress or a soda can
Can become rife with acrimony and wailing
But don’t disparage your haunted commodities
Constant terror is tedious, ‘til it’s gone
Leaving just a mansion of lifeless stuff
For a thousand years
One thousand years they can cling
Then they fade away
Fade, fade ‘cause they’ve overstayed
And must abandon the living
Haunting is for errands unresolved
When the spirits make right their corporeal plight, they promptly dissolve
So every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Haunting is for business left undone
They’re among us to repair some worldly affair and then they must move on
So every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here
Every night I go to bed with the fear
I’ll wake up to find the undead are not here

This late in our lives
We’d be remiss
If we don’t strive to be basically nice
Tricycles crash
But once in a while
I get this thing when it’s hard not to
Smile up at the sky
What a delightful day
Try filing away
Such a delightful romp
Stomp into my room
I’m a delightful guy
Zoom into my day
It’s a delightful romp
Delightful romp
Delightful romp
La la la la
La la la la la la
La da da da
La la la la
La la la la la la
Crap.
There’s some raccoons
Up in the roof
Tapping out telegraph messages
God knows it’s the truth
Maudlin’s in style
But I got this thing where it’s hard not to
Smile up at the sky
What a delightful day
Try filing away
Such a delightful romp
Stomp into my room
I’m a delightful guy
Zoom into my day
It’s a delightful romp
La la la la
La la la la la la
La da da da
La la la la
La la la la la la
Burst into the void
It’s a delightful deed when you
Lead first with your heart
Then you start a delightful romp
A delightful romp
Chomp at the bit
Ready to go
You’re a delightful kid
And you’re so not gonna quit
Oh, no
It’s a delightful romp
Delightful romp, delightful romp
Delightful romp, delightful romp

Check out the
M in STEM in academics
Slope is m in y=mx
Hope is slim when casting votes
When we’re taking names and kicking asymptotes
The rabble is fighting verbally
With parabolas and hyperbole
The abacus of the economist
Has become fabulous in its commonness
Numerical honesty is our policy
And honestly our quality’s bottomless
When equality’s an anomaly
The wannabes gonna be anonymous
You must trust our data’s
Just greater, just too muscular
Only thing worse than a hater’s a traitor
And the only thing worse than a traitor’s a buzz killer
Time to trick out your TI-85s
Give me Xs and I’ll make you Y’s
Time to trick out your TI-85s
Give me Xs and I’ll make you Y’s
You Y’s
So many foreigners
Father, teach us about satire
So many foreigners
Very well
So many foreigners
Former foreigners
Swarming the borders of California
Forming enormous forces just to
Force us to gorge on gorditas and force-feed us shawarmas
Alarmist you call me?
Ya’ll appall me
if you don’t support the deporting of hordes and enforcing the borders,
You’re a morally horrible moron, at best
And at worst a deplorable commie
Of thank you, father!
So let me pro forma forewarn ya California
It’s cause and effect
And there’s always a formula
Time to trick out your TI-85s
Give me Xs and I’ll make you Y’s
Time to trick out your TI-85s
Give me Xs and I’ll make you Y’s
You Y’s
You Y’s, you Y’s, you Y’s
Police brutality?
We can mangle it
Sexuality?
There’s an angle
The gang’ll link net neutrality to infant mortality
In a newfangled way til you can’t disentangle it
Takes two to tango, so says Jane Doe
It’s true, but I’ll prove two isn’t a single number
It’s an entire rainbow.
