Entry of the Toad King 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Croak, croak, croak, croak! Hail our great Toad King! Webbed hands folded on a heaving belly Wobbling and bobbling like putrid jelly Covered in algae all fetid and smelly Majestically waddling in! Croak, croak, croak, croak! Hail our great Toad King! His face the colour of rotting lime Oozing and squelching and covered in slime Dripping with royal beauty sublime! And drool on his bulbous chin Croak, croak, croak, croak! Hail our great Toad King! Demanding our eggs for His Highness to feed upon Grunting and guzzling and gobbling up frogspawn All he asks for is each of our firstborns And whatever else he can fit in! Croak, croak, croak, croak! Hail our great Toad King! Regally dressed in poisonous weeds Draped with sparkling swamp slime beads Bulged eyes glinting with sickening greed Hail our great Toad King!

If It Moves, Shoot It; If It Doesn't, Chop It Down 04:58
lyrics

If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down Don't let nothing natural infect our lovely town You cannot hinder progress, 'cos the wheel keeps turning round If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down! If it moves, it's dead meat; if it doesn't, it's dead fuel And the kiddies standing in our way should just go back to school We'll tear down old growth forests and we'll poison all the lakes We'll make this country great again, no matter what it takes! If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down Don't let nothing natural infect our lovely town You cannot hinder progress, 'cos the wheel keeps turning round If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down! If it moves, it's dinner; if it doesn't, it's just wood The more that we can kill and burn, the more we're doing good And hopefully along the way we'll find some coal and oil We'll burn it all in glee and make those silly oceans boil! If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down Don't let nothing natural infect our lovely town You cannot hinder progress, 'cos the wheel keeps turning round If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down! If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down Don't let nothing natural infect our lovely town You cannot hinder progress, 'cos the wheel keeps turning round If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down! If it moves, we'll kill it; if it doesn't, just the same Anything that Mother Nature gives us is fair game We'll empty all the oceans and we'll hollow out the land We've fucked it for our kids, but our retirement will be grand! If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down Don't let nothing natural infect our lovely town You cannot hinder progress, 'cos the wheel keeps turning round If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down!

Stagnant Water 02:51
lyrics
buy track
I have a pond in my garden It's full of filth and dirt It stinks so much, if you get too close Your nostrils start to really hurt In my pond swim three little fishies God only knows how they survive They feed off of scum and slime and gunk They really seem to thrive The smallest one of those three little fishies He's really, really cute Sometimes when I'm lonely, I go and watch him He's a real beaut He swims up and down in the stagnant water And I just love to watch The bigger fishies are always tryna catch him and eat him But he can always dodge Whenever I'm having a hard day at work Or standing in a long line I like to think about that smallest fishy And how he's doing fine If those fishies can survive in that water And they're still ok It gives me hope that, with a bit of effort I'll make it through the day

Old Mr Beekeeper 03:09
lyrics

They call me Old Mr. Beekeeper Say I keep bees by my shed But what they don't know, and I ain't gonna tell them I've started keeping wasps instead They say "look, there's that sweet old beekeeper When he works he's been known to sing!" They think I work for honey and wax But all I want is the sting! They call me Old Mr. Beekeeper Though bees ain't what I keep They think I'm lonely 'cos I live by myself But wasps is all the friends I need A wasp is a natural born killer Shows no pity and no remorse The wasps that I breed, with just one sting Can take down a fully grown horse! They call me Old Mr. Beekeeper Though bees ain't what I keep They think I'm lonely 'cos I live by myself But wasps is all the friends I need A wasp is a thing of great beauty An airborne agent of pain Fast like an arrow, light like a pin They come down on their victims like rain! They call me Old Mr. Beekeeper Though bees ain't what I keep They think I'm lonely 'cos I live by myself But wasps is all the friends I need

A Song About A Cute Little Hermit Crab 02:03
lyrics
buy track
I am a little crab and I'm wandering along And I'm dragging along my shell I don't have anything interesting to do But I'm doing it astoundingly well! I snip and I snap with my snippy snappy things As I wander along through the sand You see, I have to snip, and I have to snap 'Cos I don't have any sort of hands! If you pick me up in your hands And hold me up in the air I'll be very nervous and afraid 'Cos I don't like being up there So please refrain from touching me Or disturbing me at all For you are really quite scary and big And I am so very harmless and small I am a little crab and I'm wandering along And I'm dragging along my shell If you step on me, I'll get crushed I'll die and begin to smell

The Flat Earth Song 04:40
lyrics

Have you ever had that feeling That something is not right with the world? That the truth you think you know is a lie? That there's a secret you're not being told? What if I could tell you That it's best to trust your gut? Here it comes now, the big secret The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! Ask any expert in a tinfoil hat If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! It's probably on four elephants on a turtle's back If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat! Illuminati and the whole "New World Order"? Come on, I really doubt it 5G, chemtrails, and all that vaccine stuff? That's just some crazy cowshit A fake moon landing? That's too far fetched Paul is dead? What's up with that? Epstein didn't kill himself? Well, maybe that one might be true but never mind, anyway, whatever The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! Ask any expert in a tinfoil hat If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! It's probably on four elephants on a turtle's back If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat! It's a sad and sorry state of affairs When all of science, united, declares That the world we are standing on is actually round It's easy to disprove, just take a look at the ground! Just use a gyroscope to measure rotation And you'll see – no, disregard that find Use a laser to measure the Earth's curvature And – ah, never mind Just google flight paths in the far south And be prepared to notice that there aren't any Oh wait, there's one, and there's another one But never mind, the point still stands! The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! Ask any expert in a tinfoil hat If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat! The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat! It's probably on four elephants on a turtle's back If you're gonna believe something, why not believe that? The Earth is flat!

Down by the Seaside 03:54
lyrics

Down by the Seaside! Where the sky is grey All I can see are clouds And the wind is cold And the road is loud Down by the Seaside! See the plastic bags And the sewage spills And the dying trees And other natural ills And you're in the wind Tryna catch your breath But the ocean stinks 'Cos it's full of death! Down by the Seaside! See the flocks of gulls Living off our waste And the lonely children Moving on in haste 'Cos the air is thick And it's hard to breathe You can taste the smog And feel it on your teeth Down by the Seaside Is where I wanna be! Down by the Seaside! Where you can taste the salt And the rotting fishes And the industrial chemicals And the broken wishes Down by the Seaside! See the foamy waves They're full of bits of gunk Washing up dead things And discarded junk See the crumbling cliffs Where the rocks erode And the sand gives way To the asphalt road Down by the Seaside! See the mangy dogs Tryna stay alive On the washed up bones Of things that used to thrive See the roughed up cats That used to hunt our birds But now there's nothing left Except for empty words Down by the Seaside Is where I wanna be!

See me smiling I can't stop grinning 'Cos now I am sure that I'm going to win! Hear me chuckling I can't stop laughing I'm much closer now than I ever have been! I'm not crazy!

I'll show all of you! I wreak havoc! I cause chaos! And now that I've started, I'm not gonna stop! I spread panic! I wreck cities! Through the confusion I'll come out on top! I'm not crazy! Smoke is rising The town is burning! And in pandemonium I am the king! In the ruins On the ashes Look at me dance and hear how I sing! Don't call me crazy! I'll show you! I'll show all of you!

I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big Everybody plays along but my game is rigged! I pour money down your throat 'Til I get my way The best part is You think you have a say! I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big Everybody plays along but my game is rigged! I can eat off your plates 'Til you've got nothing left Then I point the finger And you're at each other's necks I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big Everybody plays along but my game is rigged! I can burn down your house And convince you that that's good You'll even help light the matches And stack up the wood! I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big Everybody plays along but my game is rigged! I tell you what to think And I tell you who to trust I tell you what is right And I tell you what is just I tell you what you want And tell you that you want it I tell you what to do And that that's what you've always wanted! I get what I want and my name is Mr. Big Everybody plays along but my game is rigged!

I Love Animals 02:27

I love animals! How dare you say I don't love animals? I love to pat a dog and I love to pet a cat And I really love to eat the rest! I hate cruelty! (It's a personal choice) I really am against that cruelty! But I still think it's ok, shoot one million cows a day (I just can't give it up, they taste so good) As long as they get to eat grass! (Stop shaming me!) I'm a carnivore! (It's the way I am!) (It's the ethical choice!) It's simply science, I'm a carnivore! (We need to) Our ancestors ate meat, just look at all my teeth (Eat them, it's natural) (It is clear to me that you are wrong) It's clear they're made for ripping flesh! (That's how we evolved) (Leave me alone!) It's my way of life! (And dairy!) (I'm not hurting you!) (Like a lion eats flesh!) Why can't you just respect my way of life? (That can't be bad) (You're just getting) It's just a bit of meat, so please just let me eat (Where'd you read that? I'm sure you're wrong) (Mad 'cos you need more) (And I also like milk, cheese and eggs) It doesn't mean I don't like (I don't think they'd hurt the) (Protein from the) (And they don't hurt the) Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! I care, I care, I really care! Please believe me! It's a personal matter! Who are you to tell me not to eat Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! I care, I care, I really care! "Really care" Global warming! We have to combat global warming! But I do not think it's fair to say meat-eaters don't care I read that the problem is soy! I love bacon! (And I do not eat soy!) How can you say you don't love bacon? Is there something wrong with you? Do you really like tofu? (You say that it's fed to animals) I read that that will give you tits! (I think you're wrong!) I love dairy! (Show me some proof please!) ('Cos it's full of hormones) Yes, we are made to live off dairy! (No, not like that) It's how we've always lived, there's no alternative (That's just propaganda!) (And it's not the way our ancestors ate) That cow's milk was made for us! (Did you know that) (They ate meat) Yes, but vitamins! (We invented) (And, of course, some cheese) (Yes, they lactate for us!) May I ask where you get your vitamins? (How to make cheese?) (It is natural) I read the other day, there is no other way (We can make it and that is what) (To eat cheese and) (If we didn't breed them, they'd die out) If you're not prepared to eat some (Separates us from the) (Milk from other) (And we would have no) Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! Animals! Yum yum yum yum yum yum! I care, I care, I really care! Please believe me! It's a personal matter! Who are you to tell me not to eat Animals!
