VERSE 1:
Prepare for questions, prepare for awkward anecdotes
With poor reception, specific humour we explore
Prepare for comments that make the online critics cringe
So condescending, the internet's a fickle bitch
CHORUS:
We never said, we never said that we were journalists
We never claimed our opinions were opinion less
We never meant what you graphically alluded to
But in the end all you really want to hear is you
VERSE 2:
A frame of reference, a mildly standard point of view
And angry comments, you know who said what and to who
Prepare defences, we've got our facts straight so do you?
We're left defenceless, a statue built on points of view
BRIDGE:
Why, why, do you ask us all the time?
Why, why, do we have to pick a side?
Why, why do we bother, do we try?
Why, why do we have to pick a side?
ALTERNATE CHORUS:
We never said, we never said that we were journalists
We never claimed our opinions were opinion less
We never said what you practically accused us of
And all the while you never saw where we were coming from

Demo Disk
03:06
|
|||
VERSE 1:
Let's see where this leads
Let's just see where this goes
Put the demo disk in
Give it a chance, I suppose
Lets see where this leads
Lets just see where this goes
Click the start on this game
Give it a chance I suppose
CHORUS:
Too often we find, time after time
Leads us to flash games if that's how you are inclined
Too often we see a game that's supposed to be free
Brings us more enjoyment than these demo CDs
VERSE 2:
Lets see where this leads
Lets not pre-judge or presuppose
Take that demo disk out
Give it a bend and there it goes
Lets not do this again
Please Lets not re-subject ourselves
Break that demo disk Bruce
Try to protect ourselves I suppose
BRIDGE:
Where did they come from? Where are they going?
Snapping those demos but otherwise was going

Peake
03:02
|
|||
VERSE:
He's at the top, he's at the apex of his game
Wearing a crown, living the hey-est of heydays
The height of his fandom, a pinnacle reached and vertex claimed
He's at the top, he's at the apex of his game
CHORUS:
Gotta reach the top, gotta reach the top gotta reach the Peake (oh oh oh oh oh)
Gotta reach the top, gotta reach the top gotta reach the Peake
I have gotta reach
BRIDGE:
Acme, apex, crest and crown, heyday, height, pinnacle now
Summit, vertex he's at the top of his game

Manhunter
02:59
|
|||
VERSE 1:
The greatest hero always finds a way to fight himself, and fight inside
You think you know where they are, but you, have no idea
Manhunter is at his best when he's bleeding out on the battle field
Got a long range 50 cal and a Mai Tai in the other hand
VERSE 2:
Don't forget about Babyhunter, it is obvious that to me that he's critical
Babyhunter you're simultaneously the best and the worst soldier
War is hell. Oh no, the things he's seen.
He killed a child, he just shot a baby!
CHORUS:
He's a bounty hunter with a heart of gold
And this just won't get old
Brought a sniper rifle to a knife fight, oh
Or that's what we were told
BRIDGE:
This is worse than the time I got a roast beef without cheese
I thought I could trust those guys at my favourite Arby's
But it turns out to be like the Babyhunters' betrayal
Delivered me a sandwich with cheese and it was stale!
CHANT:
JUST LIKE THE ROMANS!
COUNTER BRIDGE:
Go get 'em tiger
COUNTER CHORUS:
That's a frozen bird in the air, what a backwards country
The birds refuse to fly in protest, it's a video game!
OUTRO:
Remember, when Manhunter starts sniping, everybody here bunch up.

Sex [S]Wing
02:07
|
|||
VERSE 1:
They're the worst of the baddest dudes around
"Tha Schling is not impressed. He's absolutely not impressed"
CHORUS 1:
Tommy Steale, Spunky Bruester, Tha Schling and Jamez The Rip Her
We are Sex Swing, got tons of bling, no summer fling,
we are the kings of the world...
...Or just of our specific part of the internet
VERSE 2:
Hey Jamez, it's time for you to rip
Oh wait, not yet, we've a second chorus
CHORUS 2:
Sex Swing, Sex Swing
Got banned in Bejing
Sex Swing, oh Sex Swing
Shoe strangs
Okay, Jamez now you can take it away
Sex swing, sex swing, oh oh oh
