Everything is fucked Everything is fucked and When you wake up in the morning you know it too be true Everything is fucked Everything is fucked from Your dad, mom, sister, brother Husband, wife, or lover Everything is fucked Everything is fucked Get up out of bed If you have the strength the world’s turning against you Or maybe it’s just your brain Hey, how's it going? Welcome to the album, I hope you enjoy it. Not enough bands introduce their albums Could you imagine if the Beatles were like "We're Sgt. Peppers and we hope you enjoy the show" Oh wait anyway these songs are all about a bunch of different things but you might notice a thematic resonance. Did the Beatles ever do that? Oh yeah Sgt peppers. You know what maybe just go listen to Sgt peppers. It's probably a better album.

Dinosaurs, dinosaurs are dicks they fucked up by turing into fossil fuel years ago now they are stupid bodies that work to pollute the earth dinosaurs dinosaurs are dicks now let me take you let me take you to a quiet day in 1963 It’s a bright day in dallas with a lovely parade to see but all of a sudden there is a shock when our president goes limp in Jackie’s arms no one checked no one checked the grassy knoll for a pacycehlpalasaur dinosaurs killed JFK it’s true they don’t want you to know dinosaurs are responsible for everything bad in the world dinosaurs are the reason I can’t make out with girls dinosaurs gave me measles when I was just the age of three they filled my vaccine with sugar water and saline And for the final travesty let’s go to September 2001 here’s where I’ll tell you the truth of what happened that day Everyone believes that Al Queda was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, that’s what your government would have you believe and they’re actually completely right, but several ankylosaurs were on the plan that day, and lost thier lives never forget never forget, america lost its innocence that day even dinosaurs stopped being dicks to focus on our true enemies Invade Iraq and stop gay marriage that's the message of this song

I’ve conquered the all the Earth with an iron fist You can try and stop me but I’ve got a list Of cool kicks and punches to do I taught my army them as our victories accrue I’m the planet dictator and I’ll take you to school You’ll learn the godly worship of me is your new rule Get out of here Ra I’m the only sun you need When I am everything you want you will never be free Get down baby work the labor camps I hope you work hard to show me your thanks Get down baby work the labor camps I hope you work hard to show me your thanks He’s our all-knowing leader He keeps us all in fear From his volcano lair He’s got a Poly Sci degree He knows how to oversee To keep us from laissez faire Ok I guess it seems austerity isn’t working I need to jumpstart our country with government spending Don’t worry I’ll always be an overload that’s cruel But I’m signing subsidies for technical school But now I need to handle crumbling infrastructure A society without roads can’t really function I could use slave labor but that doesn’t seem A good way to stimulate the economy Get down baby I’ve installed a new tax On carbon emissions for our polar ice caps Get down baby I’ve installed a new tax On carbon emissions for our polar ice caps He’s our all-knowing leader He keeps us all in fear But he cares about the environment He works us all to death We all just want some rest And to stop cap and trade requirements Please continue with your mining activities Our leader needs more coal for his turbo massage chair Also those in the south quadrant begin mining for beats Our leader will be engaged in a rap battle with the rebel leader Kendrick Lamar now I’m thinking of the women who want to have it all To work in the mines and raise a family That’s why at the start of the new fiscal year I’m implementing paid maternity leave I’m noticing my workers getting sick with the black lung Somehow constant mining has put disease in the air And since I can’t silence them all by cutting out thier tongues I’m adding government backed universal healthcare I’m your leader, your leader Your leader in it all I’m gonna rule forever when everyone else falls I’m your leader, your leader Your leader in it all I’m gonna rule forever when everyone else fall Actually now, I think about it the best way to go Is to hold democratic elections because everyone knows The best societies are where people are free So I’m stepping down and I’m gonna flee Does anyone know a planet where they don’t extradite? I gotta get out get out overnight I gotta run run run real quick The firing squad’s coming for me I can hear the guns click

End Times 03:49
The Apocalypse is nye Now we are to die Wake up and be reborn You inhabit the dragon’s form Here now the horsemen four do arrive Death, Disease, and War and saline bottles to help you cry Throw a bible into the lake Sing with me now your soul’s to take I hope you like taking your baths in molten lava It’s great for your pores but not so much your organs The Garden of Earthly Delights has left you to the right The Prince of Hell is eating and will shit you out tonight Hellfire is rising crazy and covering the Earth Your Japanese tea garden is now covered in dirt Aristocrats can’t shelter in thier bourgeois cage they’ll lose thier heads real quick when the estate tax is raised Now you might think “Hey I’m an atheist, The laws of immortal gods don’t apply to me” But that’s where you’re wrong you shouldn’t have fought To get the Ten Commandments out of government The Apocalypse is nye Now we are to die Wake up and be reborn You inhabit the dragon’s form The blood moon is here The wolves will howl in fear The blood moon is here The wolves will howl in fear Hey there Mr Anti-Christ let’s hang out today You have some gross pimples that scared the other kids away No big your busy, I totally get it Taking over out planet carries a lot of jobs with it I’m starting to think you’ve been avoiding me Like you’ve gotten tired of my comedy You have to admit I always make everyone cackle When I talk about your mom getting boned by a jackel But that’s cool I’ll ave a stay at home night Maybe drink a glass of wine and watch some Netflix alright? And when I’m drunk I’ll give evil Jesus a call and he’ll yell at me and begin to layout all of my flaws He’ll say Your friends have put up with your shit for way too long Your friends have been chosen by the almighty dog Your friends don’t want to hang out with you You’re condemned to be alone and watch Bill and Ted 2 The Apocalypse is nye Now we are to die Wake up and be reborn You inhabit the dragon’s form The Apocalypse is nye The Apocalypse is nye

If you’ve been feeling your life’s in too much malaise I’m right there with you in a daily muddy haze I know that you might want somebody who feels this too I’ll be the one to be with you I promise you’ll get over the odors that I make My slimy skin will grown on you once you enter my lake If you’re cool with living in the noxious, toxic, fumes I’ll be the one to be with you If you ask me to If you ask me to I can make you a cool display of rose I’m botanokinetic I can’t speak much for the values that you seek I terrorize highschoolers once or twice a week If you want to build a mud hut in my dark lagoon I’ll be the one to be with you I must admit I don’t have much for internet Dial-up plugged into a tree is the best you’ll get But we can watch squirrels get into bloody fights It’ll be a great Friday night Do you like frog legs? I eat a lot of frog legs They’re pretty good they taste like chicken I don’t actually know that I have no taste buds If you wanted to connect with the person I thought I’d be He’s trapped in the bog living subconsciously But if the thing I am is something worth your view I’ll be the one to be with you

What if it's not so bad? Maybe things will work out, work out, work out Cynics can hold but what it they're wrong? It's all downhill once we're gone It'll be OK It'll be alright We can't do much better so let's not fight We'll run away we'll find our path We'll never worry, 'cause we'll never last We'll jump through hurdles and dodge the traps We have to move before our dye is cast

Ruby you’ve got your diamond slippers Headstrong and alone down to your DNA Ruby you’ll find that there’s some meaning In between the extremes that the people will say Like hercules you are half goddess But unfortunately the other half you’ll see All I want for you is not to squander Everything that is made, everything is perfect And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way from me The ocean’s expanding and collapsing It’s on you Ruby to fulfill all you dreams I don’t want to obligate you further But hopefully you won’t hate me quite enough I want you to share in all of our unconscious I want you to know that I won’t always be there But you won’t need me for much longer Once you’re here Ruby the world’s for you to see And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way Ruby I don’t want to say it’s over But at this point I’m more entropy than man All what Iife’s worth what’s ever knowing Doesn’t exist but you are close enough And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way And when I want you to follow don’t Just find your own way find your own way from me
