We Need a Gimmick - Nekrogoblikon

What do we need?

What do we need?

I wish someone would tell us what we need!

We need a gimmick

Pretty little gimmick

A fool-proof plan to gain the trust

Of the human race

After all…

We come from outer space

(and we smell like shit!)

No more shame;

it’s time for fame

Nothing to lose, everything to gain

We’ve seen it, heard it, felt it, thought it, sought it

Lived it all before

We’ve read it, watched it, bought it, stole it, sold it

Now we just want more

Listen up!

We won’t be let down anymore

Now we’ve got a killer plan

And it just might be crazy enough to work

When it all began

They were desperate, they were prideful

They were reckless, pitiful scum (and never mindful)

Never thought enough to realize that

Everything is just a joke

We’re at it again

Just us and the friends

We know what this is

No need to lie

We push that boulder up the hill…

We need a gimmick

Squishy little gimmick

The perfect way to win the heart

Of the human race

After all…

They live in the comfort zone

(and they’re a bunch of dicks!)

Watch them watch themselves on hi-def plasma television screens

We made a human costume for a goblin

Best to hide the green

Now they’ve got a killer plan

And it just might be crazy enough to work

When it all began

They were desperate, they were prideful

They were reckless, pitiful scum (and never mindful)

Never thought enough to realize that

Everything is just a joke

But that was then…

Now they’ve got a clever plan

And it ain’t half-bad

It’s got to work;

It’s just what they need

They are temperate, they are mindful

They are zealous, wonderful chums (took off the blindfold)

Never thought enough to realize that

Everything is still a joke

We’re at it again

Just us and the friends

We know what this is

No need to lie

We push that boulder up the hill…

…but then it rolls back down again

Over and over

The coldest of shoulders

Missing the point

Misguided drones

They keep checking their phones

As if it really fuckin' matters

We skinned a dog to make its hair

We peeled a preschool and stole their skin

Wow, ain’t he looking debonair

Just smash the face, he’ll blend right in

Ooh!

now he’s getting on the ship

We built a rocket, to send him to earth

No need to freak, it’s just a trip

I think it’s about time you got a grip

We’re at it again

Just us and the friends

We know what this is

No need to lie

We push that boulder up the hill…

…but then it rolls back down again

Over and over

The coldest of shoulders

Missing the point

Misguided drones

They keep checking their phones

As if it really fuckin' matters

What do we got?

(x2)

…A gimmick!
