LYRICS
Why not
Twist n’ tie into a knot?
… ’cause then your have to wrangle with the untangle?
Why don’t I twist and tie “I” into a knot…
Is there an angle to… the wrangle of a tangle?
An angle angel
Why knot
The shape of things to come
Coming out from

LYRICS
Keep on moving
Keep improving
You know if you go too slow
You’ll likely seize and cease to go
Waiting for a guy “if he only had a brain”
Might be considered lame or insane
Ask a Tin Woodman… he’ll understand
Strike up the band (striking up the band)
If when has become then
Than we’re in the land of tinmen
Oooooil
Uncoil with oil
Loosen up and seize the day
Instead of the other way
Remain lost in the forest
Restrained in a sudden reign
Now we must bust free of the rust
Lust for a heart
As Dorothy can see
A new knew start

LYRICS
Chase your dreams
They will come
So it seems
And then some
There is a spider lady
That weaves her web
Catches dreams that are shady
Waiting for the dark to ebb
“Once the sun rises
All bad dreams just disappear”
Good thoughts all shapes and sizes
Will become ever clearer
(whispered “She’s Asibikaashi”
ABOUT THE SONG

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe people. The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.

Time to plug in
To what’s happenin’
Time to turn on
To what’s goin’ on
Time to tune in
Focus us… listen
Folks… us… reason
“Keymaster, I’ve forgotten the password”
Think faster… the word is my sword
Can’t fool Zuul?
The master of the Destructor distractor
Would you believe… there’s nothing up my sleeve
Wa-lah
Bring on the laughter
Haha
Slaughter with laughter
The word is my sword

Vinz Clortho the Keymaster of Gozer was a demi-god and loyal minion who obeys The Destructor, and possessed Louis Tully in Ghostbusters. Vinz is assumed to be male because it is known as the Keymaster, and possessed a male host instead of a female host. Also, it has noticeably longer horns than Zuul, the Gatekeeper, who is believed to be female. Vinz Clortho was worshipped by the Sumerians and Hittites in 6000 BC, alongside Zuul and their master.

LYRICS
Forget about subsidizing
… corn… or oil exploration
Realizing…
I yearn… for some real education
Tired of paying for the ignoramus
Hard to ignore the value in us
(instrumental interlude) Hey, Ignoramus!
Edumacation benefits all of us (Hey, Ignoramus! Edumacation — benefit to us. Come out of the ignorant fit… Edumacation = benefit)
“We don’t need no education”
Double negative reaction
When it’s obvious ya do
And, then sum, too
What you say just doesn’t add up
Is it half empty? What’s in your cup?
What about subsidizing
Are you realizing
The gain from an asset
The cost of an ass, yet…
And, lying… can’t you see the liability of your disability
Why promote being ignorant
Or being indifferent
To enlightenment
Nooooo, Ignoramus please don’t ignore us
After what you’ve said, I wonder what’s in your head?
How can you have any learning if you don’t know meet from meat?
