Re: Your Brains Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

Heya, Tom, it′s Bob, from the office down the hall
It's good to see you buddy, how′ve you been?
Things have been okay 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?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that′s okay for now
But someday you'll be out of food and guns
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
