[I.Overture]
No one knows the hour or the day
-----------------------------------
[II.Creation of the Tzolkin and Haab]
The numbers 20 and 13
Our sacred numbers bring to being
A calendar to use as commonplace
But this is not a solar year
So in concurrence, as I feared,
Two calendars, why must we complicate?
We are the brains put in charge of our timeframes
And our cultural background makes things fail to work
We are the brains burdened badly by our timeframes
All because our Earth chose to be a jerk
Months of 20 put in place
Give us 360 days
This misalignment brought the demons' wrath
5 days where we must feel defeat
Make the solar year complete
The gods will punish us for crappy math
We are the brains put in charge of our timeframes
And our cultural background makes things fail to work
We are the brains burdened badly by our timeframes
All because our Earth chose to be a jerk
-----------------------------------
[III.Long Count Calendar, Mushrooms, and Revelation]
We have a Long Count calendar
We can use it, to track history
It's got not many uses beyond that
A break for lunch sounds good to me
Two mushrooms for appetizers
A couple more left on my plate
I think that they're talking to me
About the world, and its sealed fate
I'm sorry that I ate your brothers
I'll go share this prophecy
Send my regards to your family
The people must hear this from me
-----------------------------------
[IV.Presentation and Dismissal of Prophecies]
I know this sounds unusual
Let's make it understood
That I heard it from the oracles
Of the mushrooms in the woods
I have an exact date
When the planets will form a line
We could be in for incredible change
Or maybe even the end times
Yes, we've heard it all before
But we question the source
The shrooms that made my brother see
A cow riding a horse
No need to fear, our would is fine
Enough with your jokes
And one more thing, mushrooms are food
They're not meant to be smoked
There's more than just the mushroom
I think there's a greater being
This message from an oracle
Just think what it could mean
Maybe a pole reversal
Or we'll hit a black hole
There could be a spiritual transformation
That changes the world as a whole
Don't annoy us further
Oh, this crap's below our rank
Take it to the scientists
They'll give it to you frank
No one that year will fill with fear
They'll tell you on the spot
Forget about your theory
Your shrooms have gone to pot
-----------------------------------
[V.Media overdose of fear]
I plopped my butt down to watch TV
The end of times, they're telling me
Is coming soon, they say it's fact
Kids: How will they react?
The kids will now drop out of school
To go do things they think are cool
Since there's no time for heart attacks
Try mixing bacon, snuff, and crack
Rob their favorite place to shop
Then try to run it past all the cops
It's pointless to lock me up here
'Cause we'll be dead within this year
Wishing this crap world would end
This final countdown they'll pretend
Is the real deal, so they'll declare
Let's trash our lives without a care
I can't wait to see how they feel
Come next year!
-----------------------------------
[VI.People who gave up schooling to find out the prophecy failed need brains]
The year is 2013
I can't believe I'm not dead
I'm locked up with insanity
I make out with my bed
My crazed mind thinks that my blanket
Is made up of TP
Just think that I could not be stopped
If I saw this was a flop
I don't think I can return
Can return to a normal human life
I've rotted away all my intelligence
I'm desperate... for BRAINS!!!!!!
-----------------------------------
[VII.Zombie Apocalypse]
(ongoing various collage of zombies yelling "BRAINS!!!!!")
(dumb guy): Huhuhuhuh, zombies all walked away from me. Huhuhuhu. That means I... that means I... uh... uh... (long pause) BRAAAAAAAIIIINNNNNNNSSSS!!!!!!!!!
