Lyrics
Joss A caveman painted on a cave,
It was a bison, t'was a fave,
The other cavepeople would rave.
They didn't ask "Why?"
Why paint a bison if it's dead?
When did you chose the color red?
What was the process in your head?
He told their story,
What came before he didn't show,
We're not supposed to--
Homer's Odyssey was swell,
A bunch of guys that went through hell,
He told the tale but didn't tell,
the audience why.
He didn't say, "Here's what it means"
And "Here's a few deleted scenes"
"Charybdis tested well with teens"
He's not the story,
He's just a door we open if,
our lives need liftin'...
But now we pick - pick - pick - pick - pick it apart,
Open it up to find the tick - tick - tick - of a heart,
A heart...
Broken.
It's broken by the endless loads
Of "making of's" and mobisodes.
The tie-ins, prequels, games and codes the audience buys.
The narrative dies,
Stretched and torn,
A spoiler warning...
We're gonna pick - pick - pick - pick - pick it apart,
Open it up to find the tick - tick - tick of a heart.
A heart...
Broken.
Jed Joss, why do you rail against the biz?
You know that's just the way it is
You're making everybody mis--
ZW These out-of-date philosophies are for the dinner table please,
We have to sell some DVDs...
Jed, Zack, Maurissa Without these things you spit upon.
You'd find your fame and fanbase gone...
MT You'd be ignored at Comic-Con...
Joss I sang some things I didn't mean,
Okay, let's talk about this scene,
I think it's great how Ryan Green--
Oh, This is no good!
I thought J-Mo would back my play,
Now Zack and they all say-
We're gonna pick - pick - pick - pick - pick you apart,
Open you up and stop the tick - tick - tick of a heart.
A heart...
Goodbye.
