Directly above the center of the Earth Directly above the center of the Earth Yesterday I climbed a tree The further from this world to be The birds flew ‘round and they laughed at the ground The birds flew ‘round and laughed at me Directly above the center of the Earth Directly above the center of the Earth

Hey Resident The turquoise phase is underway Great supposedly Say, Occupant The turquoise phase is underway Now baby Yes we’d love to be your heroes Though we’re mostly ones and zeroes And all the work we did today Ends up crushed on the highway Hey Citizen The turquoise phase is underway Today maybe Hail Plebeian The turquoise phase is underway Dig it baby And we’d love to be your idols There’s no need to be homicidal And we fill those cracks and holes In your mind. This is our goal You better hide your car today The turquoise phase is underway Let’s get reasonable for an hour for two Now that the fury has been unleashed Our health insurance has increased What the Hell can a tiny person do? Say Occupant The turquoise phase is underway Now baby Hey Resident The turquoise phase is underway Great supposedly And we’d love to be a deity We’ll pretend that we’re high and mighty And the world we will create Something supposedly great Something supposedly great

Let’s not talk about tomorrow I hear it might get pretty bad Let’s not talk about the olde tyme future The one that George Jetson had Howdy Uncle Future I’m not ready to go The past is nice and slow And the present is all I know Howdy Uncle Future I’m not ready to go A Golden Age is ending Goodbye goodbye goodbye Uncle, you’re looking mighty shabby Like that wandering Drinky Crow You don’t have anything to do with Gleaming monorails and jetpacks so Howdy Uncle Future I’m not ready to go The past is nice and slow And the present is all I know Howdy Uncle Future I’m not ready to go A Golden Age is ending Goodbye goodbye goodbye Goodbye goodbye goodbye

He’s the President of the hammers He’s the President of the hammers And everyone else Is just a nail And he alone can fix it He can tear it down he alone And he alone can fix it He alone can hammer it home He’s the President of the hammers He’s the President of the hammers And everyone else Is just a nail And he alone can fix it A little brute force and a lot more wood And he alone can fix it I guess he fixed it real good! He’s the President of the hammers He’s the President of the hammers And everyone else Is just a nail

Now there’s a trouble Turns into a problem Blossoms into a crisis Alert and attractive Get retroactive! We all know what the price is Now there’s a feeling Turns into an idea Blooms into obsession It drives you bonkers It makes you nutty Leaves a nice first impression Never put off until tomorrow What you can postpone for good Everything else, you gotta get it all over Get it over with This superhero We call him IgnoreMan You’d sure like to see him But with great power Comes great responsibility Do you still want to be him? Never put off until tomorrow What you can postpone for good Everything else, you gotta get it all over Get it over with Get it over with

Na na na na na naah Boot up every morning Hello Mr. Glass Of Orange Juice and It comes as a warning Too much time spent looking up Not enough time spent looking down I seep in like gas I’m the next generation pain in the ass You shall not pass I’m the next generation pain in the ass 21st Century wearing the suit Of a dancing dank gorilla 21st Century getting the boot Well I hope it doesn’t kill ya Na na na na na naah And then in the evening All the shadows get longer then And people are leaving They can sense that chaos lurks They just wanna get home from work I seep in like gas I’m the next generation pain in the ass You shall not pass I’m the next generation pain in the ass 21st Century wearing the suit Of a dancing dank gorilla 21st Century getting the boot Well I hope it doesn’t kill ya I seep in like gas I’m the next generation pain in the ass You shall not pass I’m the next generation pain in the ass 21st Century saying “so long” Drops the lavender agenda 21st Century offers a song They’ll call it “Red Globe Contender” Na na na na na naah
