Song of the day, 14 July 2011

[Bob Schroeck]

Let's all groove to the Curbstomp Song,

Come on now and sing along:

Up in space their ships go boom

In a pyrotechnic doom

On the ground no hope is found,

as they die in burning mounds.

Lacking tech or fire and wheel

going up against cold steel.

“Strategy”? Well, they just rush;

There’s no fool that they can crush.

Their invasion’s a meltdown

Ground to dust by unarmed clowns

All that’s left: to wait and see

Whether they will fight or flee.

There’s no need for kryptonite,

Silver cross, a stake, or light

There’s some fights that just ain’t fair

but it’s fun to gawk and stare!

When a fight is just plain wrong

We all sing the Curbstomp Song

People dying left and right

It’s a slaughter, not a fight!

Start a brawl that can’t be won,

See the boots eclipse the sun.

Either swallow bitter truth

or eat curb and lose a tooth.

When a fight is just plain wrong

We all sing the Curbstomp Song

People dying left and right

It’s a slaughter, not a fight!

Start a brawl that can’t be won,

See the boots eclipse the sun.

Either swallow bitter truth

or eat curb and lose a tooth.

Ill equipped with laser guns

That explode when set to “stun”

Using armor made of rags

Nothing’s left for body bags

With a weakness so painful,

Quite annoying and shameful

Kids with H2O balloons

oh so gaily melt these goons

Their assault's a failure

putting guns on super tankers

Now just watch: and you will see.

battles that should never be

Here they come; they're charging us

why should we put up a fuss

It's a war that won't last long

and why I sing the Curbstomp Song!

When a fight is just plain wrong

We all sing the Curbstomp Song

People dying left and right

It’s a slaughter, not a fight!

Start a brawl that can’t be won,

See the boots eclipse the sun.

Either swallow bitter truth

or eat curb and lose a tooth.

When a fight is just plain wrong

We all sing the Curbstomp Song

People dying left and right

It’s a slaughter, not a fight!

Start a brawl that can’t be won,

See the boots eclipse the sun.

Either swallow bitter truth

or eat curb and lose a tooth.

So when a fight’s a slaughter,

not any quarter given,

just sing along to the Curbstomp Song

and ask yourself:

'why can't we all just get along?'

When a fight is just plain wrong

We all sing the Curbstomp Song

People dying left and right

It’s a slaughter, not a fight!

Start a brawl that can’t be won,

See the boots eclipse the sun.

Either swallow bitter truth

or eat curb and lose a tooth.

ATC will be pleased to know about this. And I can't wait to see the scene that was inspired by it. (^_^)

I thought this was a callout to the Warriors' standard battle tactics - hit them as hard as you can.

Oh, it is, as far as I can recall anyhow.  But you must admit: it's always a treat to see Doug go to work on some mooks.  *evil little grin*
