I’m just a space bridge maintenance man
I only transform into a panel van
Neural net crankin’, won’t you tell me the news
Blaster’s been-a jawin’ ‘bout them energon blues
Told me ‘bout a miner called Megatron
Spent every day diggin’ up nucleon
Government folks, they come by one day
They say, “We’re sorry, boys, we’re takin’ your job away.”
We got the energon blues
We got the energon blues
The energon blues
We got the energon blues
The energon blues
We got the energon blues
(We got) the energon blues
We got the energon blues
Oh lord
Then he say this miner he call Megatron
Formed his self a band he call Decepticons
Got into a fist fight with Orion Pax
Now everyone that’s got sense is out makin’ tracks
We got the nucleon blues
We got the nucleon blues
(We got) the nucleon blues
We got the nucleon blues
The nucleon blues
We got the nucleon blues
The nucleon blues
We got the nucleon blues
Oh lord
Orion took the cap’tol, he’s feelin’ hot
Declared himself to be the very first Autobot
Them government boys, they kick ‘em out in the cold
Got himself a new look with that matrix of gold
He stepped out of the shadows now, feelin’ fine
Got himself a new name - call him Optimus Prime
Took over the planet of Cybertron
Declared a world war on the Decepticons
We got Decepticon blues
We got Decepticon blues
Decepticon blues
We got Decepticon blues
The energon blues
(We got) the energon blues
(We got) the energon blues
We got the energon blues
Oh lord...

I tie shoes, I’m fly dude!
I’ll write you a Raichu
Just wait and see what I do
I swear I’m nothin’ like you
The pokémon that I choose is here to bring you bad news:
“I vandalized your front door, man!”
A smeargle attack
I sketch quick like a speedrunning orphan
I beat Cooking Mama, I’m boss at meal preppin’
But check this shit - this shit’s my real weapon:
A spreader gun spray can, I’m F-n’ Bill Rizer
Your wall’s a Splatoon map and I’m an MS Paint wizard
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
I’m Banksy, I’m Bambi, I’m Rambo, I’m Chansey
Just give me that grilled cheese, I’m not super fancy
He-Man is my man and Space Jam is my plan
I’ve got more to spray than Team Fortress all day, fam!
I kill DDR ‘cause I’m Beast Boy with more steez
You think your Fortnite character can dance? Please…
I got more cheese than Ryu on a Mario Level
I don’t paint no tributes: no Jew Wario murals
I watched Bob Ross before Twitch streams
I’m Cyclops, bitch, with laser beams
That Piccolo shit, I make Saiyans scream
I once creamed my pants in a painting dream
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Ya think you’re safe, but we’re coming for you
You’ll have pixelated walls now too
Your storefront’s now nerd culture remiss
It’s dangerous to go alone; take this!
I spice your life with sprites that always surprise incomers
That don’t know what to do
When they run out of pixels
The world is digital and I am making it more cute
With poppin’ culture for the vultures who never forget
(Yeah) Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming
Geek graffiti
Yeah, you better watch out
Geek graffiti
Oh, you better see us coming

Mata Nui Risen
03:45
|
|||
Gather around, hear the ancient song
Before we played kohli and we all got along
We came from canisters - at war before long
Makuta betrayed us, didn’t do his job
The lives of matoran - their peace he would rob
Carried our masks, the power he saw
Corrupted his mind, bad as piraka
A chronicle starts, three virtues aligned
When the masks were made in the time before time
Elemental heroes - six sacred shrines
A battle of fate that will shatter the line
Warriors fell like stars from the sky
Toa, they’re called, and they’re built to fight
Fire, water, wind, earth, stone, and ice
Drive the shadows away, and save paradise
Le-koro’s drums tell us the tale
From a kio away, that Makuta has failed
Our island has cracked, Mata Nui stands
Cast out of his body, but awakened in mind
Trapped in his prize - the mask of Life
Treated like rahi, a beast left to die
Before their eyes, made a sword from a knife
mārama pōuri
pakanga mana
kanohi kaha
ōi mata nui
New chronicles written, three virtues aligned
When the mask was made in the time before time
On Bara Magna - six warring tribes
Scorched by the sun in a fight for their lives
Bionicle bloodshed, extinguishing hearts
History made - etched into Stars
Elemental heroes bringing light to the dark
A battle just won, now the dancing can start
Each set sold separately

I Wanna Be Hokage
02:26
|
|||
D, C, B, A, S, and more ranks to go
I wanna be Hokage!
Leader of the village, protecting us all,
I wanna be Hokage!
Just send me on a mission, I have got to train
Scurry scurry scurry, and a Leaf Hurricane
Ninjutsu with my fingers, genjutsu with my brain
Oh no oh oh oh
D, C, B, A, S, and more ranks to go
I wanna be Hokage!
Leader of the village, protecting us all,
I wanna be Hokage!
I just passed exams, now I am Chuunin
Celebrate tonight with a ramen cuisine
Anbu aren’t furries, they just cannot be seen
Oh no oh oh oh
Made my way to Chuunin, few more ranks to go
I wanna be Hokage!
Leader of the village, protecting us all
I wanna be Hokage!
Finally, I’m a Jounin, but I still put on a show:
Shadow clone jutsu, ninja harem!
The whole Hidden Leaf Village, has gone out of control
Oh no oh oh oh
Ram, snake, tiger, ram, and more hand seals to know
I wanna be Hokage!
The strongest shinobi, in the village
I wanna be Hokage!
Sacrifice myself with forbidden kinjutsu
If you were the Hokage, you would do it too
I’m sorry, just believe it, I’m better than you
Oh no oh oh oh
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba
I’m gonna be Hokage!
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba
I’m gonna be Hokage!
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba
I’m gonna be Hokage!
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba
I have become Hokage!

The Ballad of Samus Aran
04:57
|
|||
Left alone, helpless and small
No more K-2L - they pillaged it all
Wandering through the ashes and smoke
Her home is gone and her heart is broke
Her parents’ heads crushed by a dragon
Seemed like a monster, they called him their captain
No one to run to, or so she thought
Mysterious bird men - to their planet she was brought
The Chozo were her saviors
A favor now for vengeance later
infused with alien DNA never signed a waiver
Learned their tongue, fired a gun, a brand new life has just begun
An interruption, the pirates are back
Used a scary jellyfish to attack
The Chozo are dead, left alone again
The tech they left, her only friend
A power suit, a big ass cannon
Turns into a ball but needs expansions
Now plaguing Zebes, bloodthirsty Metroids
Three one track minds - all set to destroy
A mission to exterminate
Invading at a shocking rate
They grab ahold of heads with their fangs
Kill them all before they lay eggs
Taking revenge for what she witnessed
No hard feelings, this is business
Oh my fucking god, is that Ridley?
“Stay outta my way, I’ll have your kidneys”
He took her home and took all her friends
Time for the captain to meet his end
A battle erupts in lower Norfair
Countless missiles flying through the air
Marching on through his fiery breath
Varia suit - she fears not death
She clipped his wings now he cannot fly
Sunk into lava, he lays to fry
Samus, avenge us all
The metroids were our fault
Yeah
Now, you didn’t think it was gonna be over that easy, did ya little girl?
Nah, nah - you got one more dance to perform
So reload - it’s time to start the show
Now it’s off to Tourian
Safer now with ice beam in hand
Ridley is dead, but there is one more
Someone else she has met before
A heavily guarded computer AI
The hivemind to which the metroids comply
Mother Brain, she’s sitting in a tank
For her life she has the Chozos to thank
But since her creation, they’d lost control
Corrupted the galaxy with her ego
Samus destroys her but there’s one last catch
Time bomb set - get out fast!
(Mission complete)

Last Stop, Comic Con!

Don’t you love that feeling?
Your bags are packed
your ticket is paid for
and the whole weekend is ahead of you
It’s time to go to a place where you can finally be yourself
but ironically
or maybe not ironically
you’re dressing up as someone else
Adventure and wonder are yours
You and your friends pile into the car, costumes on, and there’s only one thought in mind:
Last stop:
Comic

I want capes that flutter free, 'cross hotel carpet sky
No place I’d rather be, n’matter how much time goes by
If you need me, you know where to go
You know I’m speeding to the world's biggest comic show!

Folks that game
Too many guests to name
I’ve been away
Wish that I could stay
Where the force is strong
But the lines are always long
And that’s alright because
This is Comic Con!
I’m trying to eat my pizza, but my fangs are in the way
My wig is itchy and sticking to my face
My makeup is smudged and I’m having fun, I swear
Wait, is that a seam coming undone? Aw fuck...
Cosplay emergency! Somebody help!
