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]
