We're scrolling down the World Wild Web, and I don't quite know what's going through my head. We might just find some obscure band. Oh yeah, all right, the web is fine. What are we doing, where are we going, I don't know but this is the World Wild Web, How did we get here, what's going on there? It's not safe to browse on the World Wild Web, oh. In 1989, at a CERN Laboratory, there was a man a contractor, he was Tim Berners-Lee, proposed a concept merging evolving technologies, helping aid communications between the Unis. We're scrolling down the World Wild Web, and I don't quite know what's going through my head. I saw a video of a cat. Oh yeah, all right, the web is fine. What are we doing, where are we going, I don't know but this is the World Wild Web, What is the point of browsing on Reddit? It's not safe to browse on the World Wild Web, oh. He set up a NeXTStep computer, a note would be crowned, This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER IT DOWN!! He ran his server and left it up to the machine, info.cern.ch, the first in history. We're scrolling down the World Wild Web, and I don't quite know what's going through my head. I posted up some OC work. Oh yeah, all right, the web is fine. What are we doing, where are we going, I don't know but this is the World Wild Web, I am accustomed to all online hate. It's not safe to browse on the World Wild Web, oh. What are we doing, where are we going, I don't know but this is the World Wild Web.

Welcome to my laboratory, where you will see so many mice. It is advised not to run from my laboratory, my laborator- Welcome to my laboratory, why are you cowering in fear? It is safe to pass the storm in my laboratory, my laboratory. My Laboratory is sweet as hell, we've got test tubes, beakers and also some shelves. But, nobody is here I feel so afraid, about the giant robot inside of that cage. (oh no, oh no, oh..) Welcome to my laboratory, the cage is breaking at the seams. It is advised now to run from my laboratory, my laborator- Goodbye to my laboratory, why weren't I cowering in fear? Let's get as far away as we can from my laboratory, my laboratory. My Laboratory is sweet as hell, but it's abandoned and now we're stuck in the hail. We left my lifetime's greatest achievement, because the metal frame started to bend.

The robots attack! The robots attack! Out here on another sunny day in Boston, Massachusetts, a laboratory has gone completely berzerk. Robots are spewing out of a building causing traffic chaos, and they are attacking people now you see! The robots attack! The robots attack! They have declared war on all humans across the country, (What do we do, what do we do?) and then, they are seeking to take over the United Nations, (What do we do, what do we do?) giving them full control over the entire planet, (What do we do, what do we do?) from there, they can do what they want and so we are doomed, (What do we do, what do we do?) what is there more to say? (What do we do?) The robots attack! The robots attack! People are trying to fight back against the robot invasion, but their tools are puny in comparison with them. Lasers flying all around dissolving people into powder, robots seize the White House, taking leadership from U.S. The robots attack! The robots attack! [break] The robots attack! The robots attack! We need to escape from Earth to neighbouring planets like Mars, (What do we do, what do we do?) and then rebuild the Earths population entirely from the ground up, (What do we do, what do we do?) then we need to find a sustainable food source, bring them up and grow them out. (What do we do, what do we do?) Now, let's get into the rocket, shoot out into the dark abyss, GO! (What do we do, what do we do?) The robots attack! The robots attack!

Trekking through space, We find a home planet, used to be ours, a while ago I don't recall... why it would fall. Scan the terrain, We spot a small object, Comics of cats, Garfield's his name, What is his game? I do not know! What does it mean though? This cat's a dumbo. What is this book for? Other than to hold the door? Why are we here on... this floating space turf? What is this orange thing... we call the Earth? Open the book, what are these crude comics? The cat's lazy, there is Odie, and there is Jon, and there's Lyman. Where's the humour? He's just an old fat cat. No exercise, how does he live? What does he eat? He's unhealthy! What does it mean though? This cat's a dumbo. What is this book for? Other than to hold the door? Why are we here on... this floating space turf? What is this orange thing... we call the Earth? That one's funny, the one where the dog goes, to the online, and buys away, to Jon's dismay, a bunch of toys. I don't get it. Well back when we lived here, dogs were just pets. Oh, that makes sense. But, no offence. It kinda blows. What does it mean though? This cat's a dumbo. What is this book for? Other than to hold the door? Why are we here on... this floating space turf? What is this orange thing... we call the Earth? It's time to leave, It's not safe to stay here, I'll miss you though, I'll take this book, and have a look, at the mischief. No, leave it here. It may have some virus. Plus, it's not ours. Who knows they might, catch us on-sight, and be annoyed. What does it mean though? This cat's a dumbo. What is this book for? Other than to hold the door? Why are we here on... this floating space turf? What is this orange thing... we call the Earth?

Rolling down the street, everybody sees them coming, looking really cool and you can see right to their skull, they are a gang of skeletons in your neighbourhood. Skateboards underneath, the skeletons boney feet. They have sideways hats and sunglasses, and everybody knows that they are really cool skeletons. Really cool skeletons are rolling down your neighbourhood, they think drugs are bad and they are allowed to have an opinion, It's not like I'm going to stop them, that'd be absolutely absurd. Bad sleep schedules, they keep riding through the night, but do not know why, are all the skeletons alright? Surely, they are going to need some rest for tomorrow. Law-abiding, because that's the coolest thing anyone could be doing, having BBQs with skewers, making food with friends is so much fun, and it's legal. Really cool skeletons are rolling down your neighbourhood, you're invited to their BBQ, don't forget to bring Pepsi. They are super cool, but they are leaving today onto another realm, they might be going back to hell, I'll really miss them but I will respect their decision. One last parting gift, a cool neon t-shirt, the leader wears it with pride as they say their last goodbye, and roll their skateboards down the road, I will really miss them. Really cool skeletons are rolling down your neighbourhood, I will really miss them, I hope they have more fun in the afterlife. (Really cool skeletons are rolling down your neighbourhood) (I will really miss them, I hope they have more fun in the afterlife.) So long... you really cool skeletons.

I'm watching Robot Jones, the show it really owns. Watched every episode, it is my favourite show. But, one thing bothers me, the lack of DVD. So, Cartoon Network please, give us a DVD. Watched seasons 1 through to 2, they are not tiresome. But, season 3 I bet, would help me fill the cracks, that were left when the show, was left to rot and burn. Why was it cancelled though? I guess we will never know. My Ode to Robot Jones, I love you down to my bones. My Ode to Robot Jones, I pray for your big return. The list of characters, is one that deserves, to be nominated, for some cartoon award. Some characters are nerds, and some flock with the herds. But, I like all of them, I'll watch all over again. I had a dream last night, it was a true delight, I went to polyneux, I stayed there at the school, I got to see Robot, and it was quite a lot, that when I woke up that night, I just sat there and cried. My Ode to Robot Jones, I love you down to my bones. My Ode to Robot Jones, I pray for your big return. For Halloween last year, I made a great costume, I dressed up as ol' jones, no-one knew who I was, I spend 10 hours on that, and all I got was crap, because I chose to be, my idol CAN'T YOU SEE! I wish I could be there, to see my robot friend, my bot companion, the super champion, I could go on all day, about how I'm amazed, at how I love Robot, I think he's really- ok now I'm blushing... My Ode to Robot Jones, I love you down to my bones. My Ode to Robot Jones, I pray for your big return. My Ode to Robot Jones, I love you down to my bones. My Ode to Robot Jones, I pray for your big return.

On the News 03:31
News is at 5, It's your big day today, You are going onto the news, Wash yourself before it is time, and make sure to brush your hair this time. It's 3pm, make sure you're there by 4, and don't forget, to eat before you go, else you will be very hungry, and nobody is there to feed you. You're... On the news, Yes, it's true. Catch the tube, It's coming through, You better make sure, To top up your oyster card before you go, My, oh, my! At the station, You just caught the first train, You are on time, whoopee for you! Everything is going to plan, You'll be there by the snap of your hands. You just arrived, Station's 5-minute walk to the studio in Westminster, Straighten your tie and unscruff your hair, It's time for you to face your fear. You're... On the news, Yes, it's true. 5 mins till, You are due, Make sure you have remembered your answers, before you hit the studio floor. You're on the set, Ready for interviews, And suddenly, the host walks in, Your clip mic is clipped on your shirt, You are asked a question you know well. "wElL", oh my god, Your voice just cracked on TV, Everyone is laughing at you, You can't undo it you suck! What will you do now? You're... On the news, Yes, it's true. Feeling blue, You've lost the cue, You've embarrassed your bloodline for generations to come, Dear god!

Roundabout 03:29
Going round the roundabout, I'm spinning fast, I'm going now, I'm spinning round, I'm going down, I'm spinning out I can't control myself. We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I feel so free, We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I'm falling on my knees. Going round the roundabout, I'm taking control, Of the wheel, Not by myself, And by control, I'm by the centre, Of the spinning plate. We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I feel so free, We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I'm falling on my knees. Going round the roundabout, But I fell off, My arms are cut, This hurts a lot, But I am not, Afraid to go back, And do it again. We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I feel so free, We're going round the roundabout, I don't know where I'm going now, Going round the roundabout, I'm falling on my knees.

I Don't Know 04:19
Could it be buried in the corner of a room, In a pile of clothes, and the dustpan and broom, Oh no! I don't know. Or could it be in the back of the wardrobe, Collecting dust with the old board games, Oh no! I don't know. Every time I look around for thee, I never know where it should be, I don't know where to look, I don't know where to look apart from there. Could it be in the back of my head, While I sit in bed till I'm old and dead, Oh no! I don't know. Could it be sitting right in front of me, I don't know where it could possibly be, Oh no! I don't know. Every time I look around for thee, I never know where it should be, I don't know where to look, I don't know where to look apart from there. I don't know. I haven't found it, I don't know, Could it be in the dirt or the snow, Oh no! I don't know. Could it be just in the garden, Along with the flowers, the grass and the worms, Oh no! I don't know. Every time I look around for thee, I never know where it should be, I don't know where to look, I don't know where to look apart from, Every time I look around for thee, I never know where it should be, I don't know where to look, I don't know where to look apart from there. I don't know.

I don't know what I was thinking, This feels like I am dreaming, Oh, and now we're falling, Down the road of snoring, Waking up the others, Causing minds to shutter.

Paper Press 03:20
So I'm working and I'm working and I'm never gonna stop, It's an endless cycle, Working with machines at a newspaper factory, Paper on a press. And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never, At the printing press now, Paper kept reloading, Ink is always drying, And the news is growing, World in devastation, Newspapers in boxes, Sell them to the shops and, Continue next. So the papers rolling, rolling, rolling never gonna stop, It's an endless cycle, Threading paper in so the headlines keep coming through, Paper on a press. And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never, At the printing press now, Paper kept reloading, Ink is always drying, And the news is growing, World in devastation, Newspapers in boxes, Sell them to the shops and, Continue next. So the money's rolling in and it is never gonna stop, It's an endless cycle, Spreading news with bias into corner shops around, Paper on a press. And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, And it's never gonna stop, No, it's never, At the printing press now, Paper kept reloading, Ink is always drying, And the news is growing, Money's in our pockets, But, people believe us, Sell them to the shops and, Continue next.

Make a Mess 02:40
Whether you're looking for some trouble or you're rolling in a bubble, Then call us, we'll make a mess! If you're calling from your mothers or escaping from your brothers, Then our service is the best, Are you looking for some trouble, are your losing all your marbles, Then we'll be right through your door, Did you find our service good, did you love it as you should? You'll be calling back for more. We were in our music course, working on our power chords, When the teacher knocked on the door. The practise room we're in is booked only by appointment, So we picked up our all stuff, And we smashed it to the ground, with a smash, a bang, a pow, And we knew we had talent, So we ran out of the room being chased by Mrs Gloom, As we scurried to the phones. Our qualities assured, And all our taxes are ignored, By our friends, we are adored, We are good! Whether you're looking for some trouble or you're rolling in a bubble, Then call us, we'll make a mess! If you're calling from your mothers or escaping from your brothers, Then our service is the best, Are you looking for some trouble, are your losing all your marbles, Then we'll be right through your door, Did you find our service good, did you love it as you should? You'll be calling back for more. Our business was started, and as soon as it was started, We had our first phone call, It was my older brothers saying it is time for supper, But this weren't the time for games, I said "we're a smashing crew, what the matter with you", And I hung up nice and sharp. Little did I notice though, that the phone was gonna blow. As I'd smashed it through the desk. Our qualities assured, And all our taxes are ignored, By our friends, we are adored, We are good! Whether you're looking for some trouble or you're rolling in a bubble, Then call us, we'll make a mess! If you're calling from your mothers or escaping from your brothers, Then our service is the best, Are you looking for some trouble, are your losing all your marbles, Then we'll be right through your door, Did you find our service good, did you love it as you should? You'll be calling back for more. We were rolling in the dough, as our business came to grow, But we still weren't satisfied, We are smashing well and truly but it came to feel quite schooly, As we didn't do much more, So we started up a band, and pretty soon we're at all banned, At the local festivals, But we were having fun again, till the boredom comes around, But let's not get too ahead. Our qualities assured, And all our taxes- WAIT, you can't arrest me wait no no- Whether you're looking for some trouble or you're rolling in a bubble, Then call us, we'll make a mess! If you're calling from your mothers or escaping from your brothers, Then our service is the best.

Who are you, why are you calling me, I don't know what this phone number is. I see your caller ID yet, Your phone number's from New Orleans. My voice is travelling over the phone, But I don't know who I am speaking to, Who is this, please let me know, And leave a message after the tone. Who are you, please let me know, Who are you, I want to know, My reception is appalling, So just text me or leave me alone. Please pick up I'm in distress, Who are you know we must progress, I don't know what actions to take, Do I block you or just hand up the call. My voice is travelling over the phone, But I don't know who I am speaking to, Who is this, please let me know, And leave a message after the tone. Who are you... Sorry, I was on mute. Take your time please, you've already wasted mine. Oh my bad, got the wrong number. Sorry for all the pain I've caused ya. Your voice is travelling over the phone, But, you called me instead of whoever you meant, Who is this, don't let me know, Don't leave a message after the tone.
