We got a few short hours til the whole thing is ended The ashes are startin’ to fall and we’re all united We got a plan in place workin’ just as intended We’re headin’ on up the hill and everyone’s invited One bring the beer and one bring the fancy cheese platter One bring some tunes and a battery powered turntable Have yourself a peyote button fried in pancake batter Put on your sunglasses and dance long as you are able We’re goin’ out on a high note So meet me up on he hill We’re goin’ out on a high note You best believe that we will And the only thing the alien archaeologists Who dig up our bones will be Able to say for sure is that These were some people who loved each other The sky turns red and purple and the temperature’s risin’ It’s lookin’ like we’ll be in for some nasty weather We’ll hold hands and turn to the blazin’ horizon And when the shockwave hits, we will take it together We’re goin’ out on a high note So meet me up on the hill We’re goin’ out on a high note You best believe that we will We’re goin’ out on a high note So meet me up on the hill We’re goin’ out on a high note You best believe that we will And the only thing the alien archaeologists Who dig up our bones will be Able to say for sure is that These were some people who loved each other Ooo yeah

Mister Kubrick, thank you for joining us here In this smoke filled room in a warehouse by the pier You were brought here cuz we know you’re the best And we’re very impressed with your latest film Two thousand and one As you know, we’re in something of a bind In our space race with the commies, we’re lagging behind They had Sputnik, and Laika, and Gagarin We’re in the jaws of defeat So we’ve come to you for help Your skills are so elite Your country needs you, Mister Kubrick Mister Kubrick, will you please direct our fake moon landing? Mister Kubrick, please use your expertise to direct our fake moon landing Mister Kubrick, you don’t need to worry There’s no chance of anybody finding out our plan We’re bribing every major news outlet They’ve got all the sheeple duped right down to the man Mister Kubrick, please meet Buzz, Michael, and Neil They are actors from our stable, they’re in on the deal We’ve got a sound stage in Arizona where we’ll film the whole show And broadcast it pre-recorded, but disguise it so it looks live And no one will know It’s not really a request Mister Kubrick, will you please direct our fake moon landing? Mister Kubrick, please use your expertise to direct our fake moon landing Ooo these are extraordinary measures It's a necessary evil that we do Ooo we are not monsters, Mister Kubrick We are the last line of defense Mister Kubrick, please direct our totally fake And not real And fraudulent Moon landing

Attention units of Quadrant Three Please report to the Soylent Green facility Your regional supervisor has decreed There are just too many mouths to feed You’ve been selected for a most righteous task We knew you’d all agree to it, so we didn’t ask Your choice is thrifty, noble, and judicious Go to your duty knowing you’ll be delicious The technomancers came one day From far across the Stygian plains With positronic cybernetic implants Wired to their brains They plugged into the earth itself And ran their algorithmic game It spiraled out of their control Into a beast they couldn’t tame Enter your screenname Recover your password You depraved, degenerate sinners Your guilt is as plain as the light of sun Your name was put down in the book of destruction Before your life had even begun You ate from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge But spat out the silicon seeds to pray The algorithm is holy and righteous And we know that it giveth and taketh away Enter your screenname Recover your password The Endeathenator rests It idles now in standby mode The prophecy of its awakening Written in the lines of code Attention units of Quadrant Three The guilds have issued this decree The shimmering dust you breathe will do you no harm And the rumbling sounds you’ve heard are no cause for alarm We hope this explanation will suffice It’s just another day in paradise Error four oh four, file not found Error four oh four, file not found Error four oh four, file not found
