lyrics

The world is such a messy place
The things I've seen, I can't erase
Life keeps getting worse and worse
The only way outta here is in a hearse

It's been too long, or so it seems,
That I've been living off broken dreams
When I've reached my downfall
And it feels like nothing can help me at all:

I eat lots of corndogs,
Give a call to my grandma,
Watch an episode of SpongeBob
Play a game of leapfrog

Rock Band at midnight
Yo, dawg, this is so tight
Maybe have a tickle fight
(No, shh)
These things make me feel just right!

Pain keeps coming from all around
It's powerful and deep like surround sound
With the subwoofer of pain and the treble of sorrow
Sometimes I only hope I'll face a better tomorrow

Corn dogs remind me of the fair
And they can go with me anywhere
I can eat them on a train, I can eat them in a tree
Doctor Seuss ain't got nothin' on me!

I eat lots of corn dogs
Yeah, lots and lots of corn dogs
Another episode of SpongeBob
(Hey, Roger, look what I drew!)
Good Job!

Take a look at the blue sky
Corn dogs are deep fried
I really like corn dogs
I'm gonna eat my corn dog now

We're so dark and mysterious
...What? I'm serious!
In this world we're living in
I don't think I can ever win!

I'm all alone; I wish I had friends
At least I'd like to know that life gets better before it ends
Everything good comes with a price
And free things just never are nice

Now that you know how much life sucks
You can be sad and depressing like us
Never feeling happy; never feeling good
This is what I get for living in the hood

We got something that keeps our head above the water
A little trick I learned from my wise grandfather
When the glass is half-empty instead of half-full
Just take your favorite food and shove it in your mouth-hole

I eat lots of corn dogs
Yeah, lots and lots of corn dogs
So many corn dogs
I am eating corn dogs

Crunchy on the outside
Meaty on the inside
It's deliciousness cannot hide
Be prepared to die as worlds start to collide!
