You want me to tell you my opinion On my favourite kind of juice When it comes to orange, I’ve had a million Glasses of that shit Juice! Juice! I’m gonna tell you my juice opinion (he’s gonna tell you his juice opinion baby, he’s gonna tell you about his juice) I’m gonna tell you my juice opinion (sip it up, sip it up, sip it up!) Peaches and pineapples Grapes are great, they make wine But my favourite juice of them all Mango. Mango. Juice! Juice! There you have it folks, that’s my juice opinion (he’s put the cap on it baby, you’re never gonna hear from him again) There you have it folks, that’s my juice opinions (sip it up, sip it up, SIP IT UP) Juice!

Volcano Man 04:53
I feel bad for all of you people You’re all stuck in your bland routines I’ve come to unlock the secret A real challenge but it’s what I need I live in a volcano In a little crevice just inside the crater What a place, what a place to be You think you’ve got it all figured out And you think that I’m such a fool Die at any time, burnt up and lonely But I know your smiles are untrue And the adversity is toughening me I’ve become so enlightened It’s almost too much to bear I’d reach out my hand and ask you to join me But frankly, for all of you, I just don’t care They say variety is the spice of life And things here are really heating up You wake up, work, then fizzle out in the evenings I’m living my best in here, and it’s incredible I see all the lies that you lay out before me That’s why I live in this volcano to begin with And you think I’m crazy and this whole thing is ridiculous But actually, you’re the one who’s crazy and ridiculous! We’re all going to the same place But your ways are bland and your dreams are small I’m going there in a way that’s far more interesting I live in a fucking volcano, after all This is all a risk that I have to take This life of mine is my true call I’m the heroic Volcano Man Misunderstood genius Volcano Man Humble and generous Volcano Man You better know it Volcano Man Things in here are really heating up now This may be my greatest challenge yet Okay no seriously it’s actually getting really hot in here Oh God, oh God, oh God AHHHH OH GOD OH GOD I TAKE IT ALL BACK MY SHRIEKS DROWNED OUT AS THE EARTH BENEATH ME SPLITS IN HALF

Poison 04:08
If I’m cut by rust, and don’t treat it enough Will I become, poison? Poison If I eat fast food every day around noon Will I become, poison? Poison If I eat that mushroom that I found walking through the woods Will I become, poison? Poison I don’t wanna be poison, poison If I drink too much, and use drugs a crutch Will I become, poison? Poison Smoking cigarettes, drinking booze Breath it in, inhaling fumes I got a tattoo on my skin It doesn’t mean anythin’ I don’t wanna be poison, poison

Aspartame 04:58
Saw a high-hanging fruit I climbed that tree and I retrieved that loot I took my bite To my surprise It tastes like aspartame It was kind of cute Two little dogs fighting over a little food One got the prize But did he win? It tastes like aspartame Aspartame really makes me feel like shit Aspartame makes me feel tired and weak But, I’ll eat anything as long as it tastes sweet I’ll do anything if it makes me feel like I have no rent to pay It tastes like aspartame

CERB 03:56
Had a dream I went out tonight Oh yeah I took all my money, and I spent it right Fuck yeah Huh! Oh well I'm so sick of being stuck inside Oh no But I got my baby to hold me tight Fuck yeah C E R B I want that government money Give me that government money I want that government money Give me that government money Give me that C E R B Government money Government money Government money Government money Government money Government money Give me C E R B!

Fake News 04:31
I hear it on the radio See it on the internet Play it from my stereo Watch it on my TV set The news today can go any which way Fact, fiction, share this feedback. Hey, did you read that? (Hey, did you read that?) I would stay away if I wasn’t in the rat race (away if I wasn’t in the rat race) I’ll hear your opinion, respect your religion and get on with my day I hear it on the radio See it on the internet Play it from my stereo Watch it on my TV set I could say I lean this way or the other I might let the algorithm tell me how to spend my summer (spend my summer) It’s not my place to judge you for what you discover (judge you for what you discover) Fuck you fake news, anti-mask, racist-ass mother fuckers The news today can go any which way Fact, fiction, share this feedback. Hey, did you read that? (Hey, did you read that?) I would stay away if I wasn’t in the rat race (away if I wasn’t in the rat race) I’ll hear your opinion, respect your religion and get on with my day Fake news Fake news Fake news
