Lyrics

The best-laid plans of mice and men Invariably meet a cat The cat meets a dog The dog meets a leopard The plot works out better like that Aristotle said sorrow and pity Could bring one catharsis, thus purging one Not sure about you, but I'd take catharsis And tell it to take a flying one This is my spoiler alert Things never turn out for the best Happy endings are boring as hell God's got it in for us Block your ears now, spoiler alert You're going to come to the crunch Things will start rotting from rack down to ruin Characters? All out to lunch You've got to get screwed with the best of them You've got to get stuck with the worst God's law, sod's law Spoiler alert Put all your strength into stopping shit happening Nobody cares if you're dull The requirements of life, the requirements of fiction They're not the same at all Works of art need passionate chaos The tragedy's never enough Life on the other hand Tends to repay us The more we get shot of that stuff This is my spoiler alert Things never turn out for the best Happy endings are boring as hell God's got it in for us Block your ears now, spoiler alert The plot will get bitter and twist Things will start rocking from rack down to ruin Characters? Do not invest! You've got to get shafted by heroes You've got to get saddled with jerks God is a sadist Spoiler alert
