lyrics

A MODEST PETITION

COME ON BEZOS! WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
That the other richest man in the world will fund a private rocket shaped like his privates and beat you in the space race? What a shame. Your life must be so lame.
I’d love to see your shiny face, as a satellite, reflecting from space.

I hope the launch goes well, I hope nobody gets hurt, I JUST HOPE THAT YOU LOSE REVERSE

If I had the wealth you do, I’d buy the whole world lunch, new shoes and a roof.
Your brother seems ok, why not let him stay,
and for the sake of Humanity, Take Tucker and Hannity.
Go big and don’t come home. Why don’t you go to the moon? I hope you overshoot.
Then you and the two douches can be the first dudes on Neptune. with no food. boo hoo.

COME ON BEZOS! WHAT! ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
I HOPE THE LAUNCH GOES WELL, I HOPE NOBODY GETS HURT,
I JUST HOPE THAT YOU LOSE REVERSE!

I hope you have 9 months of supplies, I want y’all to have time, to reflect on your life,
Before you start eyeing each others thighs. I say don’t each the rich, just give it time,
You know in space there ain’t no Amazon Prime!

COME ON BEZOS! WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
I HOPE THE LAUNCH GOES WELL. I HOPE NOBODY GETS HURT.
I JUST PRAY THAT YOU LOSE REVERSE. I JUST PRAY THAT YOU LOSE REVERSE.

Outro:
Hello You’ve reached the customer service hotline for earth. If you are calling to make a return please press one. If you are calling about a refund please press two. If your name is Jeff and you are a greedy asshole trying to return from space, please press any number you want cause it won’t matter. You are up Shits Solar System without the respect of the people. The people that make your paddles.
