It is 1985, and CASIO Just announced a new calculator; FX-7000, it graphs And it also has got programming 422 bytes for you! I'm such a nerd I love my calculator Mathematical, it just works! Then came along Texas Instruments, they hit it big TI-81, it was huge Updates came along, TI-84 It was a success and still is today, now! I'm such a nerd Graphical calcuator Educational, it just works!

Rhythm Games 03:08
Standing on the mat, and insert one token Ready player one, and start! Arrows falling down, you tap 'em with your foot This is pretty fun, oh yeah! You start playing rhythm games all of the day They help take all anxieties out the way It is fun and helps you pass a lot of time And it costs a little, just about a dime! You are getting good, but there is now a line Credits running low, oh no! Guess it's time to stop, hit home from the arcade You could always go again! But it's not enough, you need to play some more Suddenly you run back, bust open the door Inside you see they have left all the power on Sneak behind the counter, take a few tokens! Start playing again in the dead of the night Who cares about noise? No one! You think you're alone, can't hear nothing but noise You see flashing lights, you're screwed! The police have shown up and caught you in here You are charged with breaking and entering You are taken to the local county jail And then you are charged with a low bail!

You are the robot that came here to kill us We can see that your hands are covered in blood Got a robotic grin, you want to kill me Too bad I have access to your mains supply! (Robot, robot, robot, robot...) You are the robot, oh no! You are coming at me, but I'm not shaken I have played enough games to know what to do I'll just throw some water over your circuits Where my cup, oh my God, you smashed my damn cup! (Robot, robot, robot, robot...) You are the robot, oh no! Well great, I can't attack, you took my weapon I was enjoying the thrill, but then you smashed it So what am I to do but to surrender? It is hopeless, I'm lost, you win and I'm beat (Robot, robot, robot, robot...) You are the robot, oh no! Wait, is that just cardboard? You aren't a robot Who is inside? I must just find out All this tin foil's thick, I can't break through it Oh there's a small corner, aha, I know you! (Robot, robot, robot, robot...) You are the robot, oh no!

My Bedroom 03:23
My bedroom is the safest place in the house Because I don't ever leave it alone It has all my valuables inside On all of my shelves, it's not a surprise Sleep is not just a hobby, it's a full sport for me What's the longest I can sleep for? My record is 16 hours But then I got woken up by a noise downstairs I don't ever leave it, it is my bedroom It has my bed, I use it in my bedroom In my bedroom I have lots of computer games To play on all systems ever made Who needs a social life? I have my games My bed and my sofa, and thoughts in my brain This life is a dream, what more could I want? Complete isolation from the real world I love it in here, but I feel lost I have got nobody, not even close I don't ever leave it, it is my bedroom It has my bed, I use it in my bedroom But I just have to make do with my online buddies I have ultra fast ethernet So I can chat all the time Without fear of losing out on the conversation It is not close to the real deal But when I have my friends I just don't feel as much regret as I do when I am alone Which happens a lot, I don't know I don't ever leave it, it is my bedroom (*crying*) It has my bed, I use it in my bedroom

You walk into the local charity shop You go to check up on the game section You walk past the shelf full of old photo frames But one in particular catches your gaze; You see a photo of yourself Picture looking shocked at itself How did it get here? I can't say I am just in shock, oh my days A picture of you is on the wall of a shop You realize it is only a small mirror You feel so stupid for being in such terror But then you turn to face the shelf of the old games Another frame has its very own claim to fame You see a photo of your mum She is wearing shop uniform Why is this photo just sat here? You don't know, but this does strike fear A picture of your mum is inside of the shop "Hey darling," she says, speaking from just behind you She has volunteered here at the charity shop "Hey mum," you respond back, trying to hide the fear You see a photo of your dad drinking some beer You see a photo of your dad You think you are starting to go mad You see photos of your brother You and your mum stare at one another Pictures of your family are now in the shop

Gravedigging 03:05
Digging up the graves with my new shovel Let's see how many more graves it can draw Hole one is dug up in a record time But what is that young couple doing o-over there? Are they kissing under the light of the moon tonight? Oh, I cannot let that happen in my graveyard, in my graveyard I'll bash my shovel through their stupid heads their stupid heads Oh, put them in the freshly dug grave I just made, grave I just made Nothing suspicious happening here now Problem was solved with just a simple pow No secrets hidden here as of yet Wait, what is that man doing over there? Are they drunk or something, alcohol or pet-r-ol? Oh wow, they just fell into a newly dug grave, newly dug grave Better make sure they can't leave, dig the soil, dig the soil And stab the shovel into their big old head, their big old head Zombies are now rising up from the dead Just bash my shovel back through their neck A funeral procession coming through Now from what I've done there will be a few more But I won't let that happen, hit the priest and hit the patrons Steal all of their valuables, dig some more holes, dig some more holes Drop the bodies in the holes, say nothing more, say nothing more Make sure to lock the gate door, no more events, no more events My job sure seems to be busy today All of the people walking here astray Shovel's not enough, I need a stronger tool Time to crack out the old sledge hammer Bash and thwack and doink, hit the people with the hammer Shovel up some makeshift holes, hide the bodies with more bodies No witnesses are present, burn evidence, burn evidence Job seems to be secure here, I am done now, shift is over

I am scared of everything All around me, it gives me the Heebie-jeebies, creepy crawlies I can't stand it, I can't stand it I am scared of society Everybody just judging me Silently as I walk on through The town center, the town center It sounds ridiculous to be Frightened by everything I see All around me, everyday It is hard to even walk around My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear Walking down the road, I see a cat Oh God, its claws, they are retracted But at any moment It could strike for no good reason I can't risk it, it could kill me I'll cross the road, oh no It is crossing too, what shall I do? I don't like this, I don't like this It sounds ridiculous to be Frightened by everything I see All around me, everyday It is hard to even walk around My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear All these cars are way too fast I can't walk near them, what if I Trip into the road, wheels Run over my head, and now I'm dead No, that is too much, I can't handle Living in Town Square, cars just can Drive 'round freely, doing wheelies I'll move away, I'll move away It sounds ridiculous to be Frightened by everything I see All around me, everyday It is hard to even walk around My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear My biggest fear, my biggest fear

A Wild Ride 04:02
Ticket barriers are in front of me Ticket to Manchester Piccadilly Hop inside just before the doors close Full speed ahead, I am ready to go! Choo-choo train is filling up the speed nice I'll read up on the news on my device Oh hey, a new theme park is coming soon A splash park themed around a monsoon I hope I'm not in for a wild ride Last train I rode on, I nearly died Seems to be smooth, I think I'm safe I hope this train faces no delays The train is approaching a rail crossing Turning right, I hear a lot of screeching An announcement over the intercom "Attention passengers; something is wrong We have taken a slightly wrong turn And brakes aren't working; we can not return" A sign passes, and so it reads; "UNDER CONSTRUCTION: UNSAFE TERRITORY" I know I am in for a wild ride Last train I rode on, I nearly died No longer seems smooth, I think I'm safe I hope this train faces no delays What's this up ahead? The rail goes up Then it loop-de-loops, the train erupts (aaah!) I feel sick, I'm scared for my life And our train carriage is gaining high Loop-de-loop is over, now it's Straight forward to the exit, I can't wait! Wait, the track lifts up, the end's ahead We are gonna go flying, I'll be dead

Just got a package I ordered today, so Let's see what's inside, I think I know The smell of the package fills the air This is the type of smell that I can't bear Open up the package just to see Juice along the floor beside my feet Wait; this isn't the mattress I had in mind This mattress is sort of meat-like No replacements, sold out 'til Tuesday Guess I'll have to use it for one day What kind of meat is this, anywho? Is this some sort of trend that is now? I'll install it inside my bedframe Hope the wooden brackets do not stain This is weird, it makes a squelching sound Is this type of mattress allowed? Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb? Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb? Settling into the bed really feels Almost relaxing, but it don't appeal It feels wrong to not know what it is Made from, but I can not answer this Without taking a section of my bed To the oven, heating 'till not red But that make the warranty void Meaning no new bed; I'll be annoyed Maybe I will sample the corner Prep it, cook it, make it a sauna How could someone ever purchase this? Now let's taste it, find out what it is Am I sleeping on a bed of veal? This is what it tastes like, and it feels Just as soft as a fresh plate of beef Was this mattress marketed to eat? Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb? Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb? Let us google what type of meat this is I hope my conclusion ain't amiss Oh no, please tell me this result's wrong! I have been sleeping on human Human meat supposedly should feel Like a T-steak and should taste like veal I better call the police, dear God This day could not get much more odd Hello 999, what do I need? I'm not sure, I really need to speak A package ordered from online Was a mattress marketted to eat But when I tested what it was Human meat was all that came across Okay, thanks, police are on the way They will test the mattress anyway Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb? Meat mattress is super squishy, I feel like I'm inside a pram Is it morbid to count sheep while sleeping in a bed of lamb?

Rolling 'round the town, I always get to see People just stop and stare right back at me I could not figure out what it was about Then suddenly ideas began to sprout I'm not riding a conventional vehicle I am riding sat atop of a tricycle This explains the disruption that I've caused And all of the traffic flow I have paused I'm so fast, I am rolling 'round the town Holding up all the traffic that's around I can't stop it, I am going so fast I am counting the cars that I have passed Still going 'round the town, but in a new way I can't stop thinking back to yesterday New vehicle got my mind in check And I must make sure I don't cause a wreck Wait, people are still looking towards The vehicle mirror; oh damn, of course Just because I am riding on horseback Doesn't mean the traffic should be held back! I'm so fast, I'm still rolling 'round the town Holding up all the traffic that's around I can't stop it, I am going so fast I am counting the cars that I have passed

I am playing ping pong with my friend They're really good, a worthy opponent I have been training for this for weeks and months I can not believe I am finally here! Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping ping ping ping You nearly missed, I can not believe it I am struggling to hold up this long rally But when I complete this long game, I'll be the king Of the ping pong table at the ping pong club! Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping ping ping ping You just dropped your paddle, I will win There is nothing you can do but sit there and sulk Wait, what are you doing? No, that isn't fair! You can not hit the ball with your forehead! Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping pong ping pong Ping ping ping ping
