Title: Flattering!

Prompt Page: Poison Ivy -> Allergy -> Immunotherapy

Lyrics:

I don't begrudge flat-earthers cuz I think that they're crazy or insane its just

a pity for their party thats based purely on their laziness

cause there's mountains of evidence that help make it clear

that our planet's a shape and that shape is a sphere

and I fear that insisting we've already won

will prevent us from doing whats yet to be done

cause I have a dream and I need you to get with it

earth isn't flat and if you, too, are sick of it

Join Us, Help Us, make coins and coasters jealous

The earth isn't flat (yeah, you don't have to tell us)

When there's no way, here's our will:

we won't die on this hill

We're not Flat Earthers... we're earth-flatteners

we'll get much further than that tin foil hat of yours

We work all day to achieve the great flattening

a pancake shape is a bit more... Flattering!

There's no subscription fees, neither monthly nor annual

just one flat rate and we hand you the manual

we'll start with the mountains 'cause how could we not

when the low-hanging fruit is the highest of rocks

once we're smooth as a cue ball we'll need to start kneeding

then plan the next steps at the quarterly meeting

cause I have a dream and now you're in the thick of it

the earth isn't flat and we're all just plane sick of it

[Chorus]

We work all day to achieve the great flattening

a pancake shape is a bit more... Flattering!

and faith can move mountains but damn, when I'm done with 'em

moles will look down on the ground that's become of them

When you had a dream and no one understood it

to get back at all who have told you you couldn't

Join us, Help us, we employ the overzealous

The earth isn't flat yet, and damn does that compel us

head to china, grab your chisel and I will meet you in the middle

we're not flat-earthers, we're earth flatteners...

I have a dream, but whether its happening

you all believed, and damn is it... Flattering!

Title: Someone's Gonna Change The World

Prompt Page: War on Terror -> Misnomer -> Anachronism

Lyrics:

open up the curtains let the darkness in

the emperor expired in his bed

and now the power vacuum that was left by him

and filling in the air above our heads

Gunships littering in the sky

Fuel cells glittering like diamonds

And all us ordinary folk

Gathering below

Oh oh oh

And we've got fire in our eyes

Up there someone's gonna change the world

But the world down here's in short supply

Who do you expect us to rise up against?

The armies or the admirals or the gods?

Might as well suggest we turn the river running through the town back on itself

and flood the mountain tops

Mainsails blocking out the moon

Spent shells falling like a heavy rain

And all us ordinary folk

Gathering below

Oh oh oh

And we've got fire in our eyes

Up there someone's gonna change the world

But the world down here's in short supply

At night I dream like everybody dreams

I wake up I've forgotten what I've seen

No matter who prevails up there above

The meat down here still rots, and the air still tastes the same

Tomorrow there'll be champagne for the rich

But the only thing that trickles down is piss

You could cut the head off every king

The meat down here still rots, and the air still tastes the same

[Chorus]
