097 - Parrots

There’s no such things as parrots

They’re just big painted carrots

And there aren’t any real dogs

They’re just huge mutated logs

Penguins can really fly

Your whole life has been a lie

And the Earth is flat you know

Just take a look below

The Titanic didn’t sink

Sheeple - why won’t you THINK?

And we didn’t land on the Moon

Because it’s just a big balloon

5G makes you mad

And Elvis was your Dad

When Kennedy got shot

Aliens planned the lot

Lizards run the planet

From fortresses of granite

They have this weird sort of power

That increases by the hour

Contrails in the air

Will make you lose your hair

The Earth’s just a few years old

That’s what I’ve been told

Time travel is a thing

I’ve got this magic ring

The twin towers didn’t vanish

They were stolen by the Spanish

This is all true I swear

You wouldn’t know - you weren’t there

But I promise not to tell

If you let me out this padded cell
