I’M RIGHT, YOU’RE WRONG I read your comment on the internet Now we’re gonna have an argument I’m fired up and in the zone I got the CAPS LOCK on…let’s go! ‘cause I’m right and you’re wrong You’re weak and I’m strong I got the studies and I got the facts I’m getting ready for my counterattack I’ll type it out then I’ll press return This emoticon’ll make you burn I’m sitting here in my underwear Cold pizza in a basement chair I take my job so seriously ‘Cause America depends on me

You look so cute but that’s such a scam Why you gotta do this at 4AM? You just shat all over your new pajams It looks like curry and candied yams and smells like Spam We’re waiting for a poop... You’re straining like you’re in yoga class I can’t rest til crap comes out your ass if you sleep in shit you’ll get diaper rash Why can’t you go outside like the neighbor’s cat and use the grass? You’ve just sprinkled piss all over this place You sprayed on your mouth and nose and face Hurry up and shit cuz it’s getting late You better pay us back and reciprocate in our old age

When we get to work at eight they put hash browns on my plate and we wash it down with ice cold lemonade when we get off at five we eat coconuts and rye get on my truck i’ll take you for a ride I’m working in a sand mine When we get to work at two we head straight for the pool mama’s right I should have stayed in school When we get off at nine we eat macaroni pie and our pension kicks in when we’re 55. all day long i’m watching them dump trucks go by and if a storm comes along it blows all of our work into the sky Listen for the whistle That’s our dinnertime Serving up ham sandwiches and brine Bobby drives the loader Billy clears them pines Yer sittin’ at yer desk but I’m outside Hoppers in the morning Grandpa sets the price Another train goes rollin’ down the line Don’t need no computers Stinky cheese or wine You can keep your desk cause I’m alive!

when it gets real dark the monsters come from under my bed that big one there’s named Clark he wants to sink his teeth in my head when i fall asleep the monsters tear up all my homework my teacher doesn’t believe fuzzy says that’s cuz he’s a jerk fuzzy’s my invisible friend he’s purple pink and white when monsters attack me he’ll defend cuz fuzzy is a friend of mine when the lights go out fuzzy holds them off with a punch that big one there’s named Ralph he wants to eat my liver for lunch fuzzy is a friend of mine he’s a friend of yours he’s a friend of mine

Driving down the road I am the coolest guy alive Everybody’s fast but I’m a laidback 55 I’m just cruisin My favorite mechanic is a robot named Marie She doesn’t have to eat or sleep so all the work is free yeah I’m movin... Me and my electric car Pickin’ up the girls in bars Hanging out with movie stars Me and my electric car The traffiic light turns red for you but I don’t have to stop I got a special permit that was issued by the cops I ain’t lyin I park it near my penthouse on a helicopter pad My pilot eats falafels and he likes to dress in plaid I’m just flyin On oscar night we’ll cruise the boulevard in Hollywood When you’re on the A-list people treat you really good We’ll be famous

Special One 02:39
Everyone is having fun We’re going on vacation I’m looking for a special one Everyone is such a hon I set my laser gun to stun You could be my special one Everyone’s a little young A little freedom in the sun I just wanna be a hon Everyone is anyone A little desperation I wish I had a special one I don’t really care I’m just a hairy bear I’ll still dress with flair My boss is a square You don’t really care You’re still too young to swear Your favorite fruit is pear And all those truckers stare I don’t really care My head lost all its hair I’ll shine it so it glares A beacon everywhere You don’t really care You’re still too young to stare I’m a hairy bear Our people are so rare

Gamma Ray 05:28
In between math class and phys ed you used to laugh at me in the hall i was working down in my basement while you were cool at the mall it looks like something from space and you’re gonna feel it one day gamma ray! it fits in a 20-foot box truck and runs on pure kerosene it turns daylight into dark those trees over there used to be green you laughed at me in the school play and i’m gonna make you all pay you drove a car, i rode the bus i had suspenders, you had cool jeans i’ll turn your Mercedes Benz into dust it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen you’re gonna wish you were late to the homecoming parade
