15) RE: Your Brains- Jonathan Coulton 9-12-07

Recorded live at the Paul Gleason Theater 9-12-07

Heya Tom, it's Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I'm a zombie now
I really wish you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's OK for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns
And then you'll have to make the call
I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you're working with me
I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

I've got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we'll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we'll table this for now
I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

[arminius75]

[Balertman]

@burn44killer Dude, same here. I teared up pretty hard, like little JC is all grown up being in games and what not. :)

[abrcj]

@Pengalor RE: also means about. but regarding makes more sense lol.

[666ShahMat666]

Wonderful zombie audience

[ChrisFan11]

I love that crowd

[Pengalor]

@rickythechicken RE: Is used in emails and office memos, it stands for "regarding" and is used to tell the reader what the title and message is about. In other words, the title is "Regarding your brains"

[xxjaggedxheartxx]

It must be fun to be in the audience for this kind of song to chant the chorus together...imagine in a stadium with everyone dressed up xD
