lyrics

If you have to fly to Alexandria tonight
For a conference on King Bickwamhocsnoozer
I tell you don't go

You will be
Fellated with bombast!
Suborning your best friend!
You will face
Canceled subscriptions!
Sit-downs and sit-ins!
Gargamel's kitchen sink of stunts!
Fellated with bombast!

You will white out!
You will black out!

There will be
Flat-waxed odium!
You will never go back to
Work for Swerve Griffin!
Sit-downs and sit-ins!

Oh the interview beasts off the clock
Won't remember your bloated visage
Your dry addictions
The mock black turtleneck itching
A mythical bird back to stone
We need you home

You will white out!
You will black out!

There will be
Flat-waxed odium!
You will never go back to
Work for Swerve Griffin!
Sit-downs and sit-ins!

Oh the interview beasts off the clock
Won't remember your bloated visage
Your dry addictions
The mock black turtleneck itching
A mythical bird back to stone
We need you home
We need you home
We need you home
