Verse 1
There is a chord so crystal clear,
We have another story for you all to hear.
Two hundred years have gone
Since our fabled Artichoke Pythagorum.

When opposites attract,
Play to your satisfaction.
Power on electric song.
Verse 2
Down in the city streets,
Fearful gnomes all living in a home of freaks.
To their science they’ve made a vow,
Wondering who will be our savior now?

Verse 1
Welcome to
Our vegetable
Institute.
Scientist,
Not an expert,
But I know this.

Mix the chemicals
To react.
Lace the cask,
We’ve got nutrients
To extract.
Chorus
Gnome City Labs,
Experimenting awaits.

Bridge
Its not in the way that you fall in love,
But what you do with it.
Its not in the way that you linger and wait
But what you’ve got left to give.
Its not in the way that you receive the information
Its how you want to live.

Splitting Atoms

Verse 1
Dear Doctor, what’s the news?
Have there been any clues?
Tell us what’s in the tubes,
You test into the night.
Those molecules divide,
The science never lies,
It comes from many sides,
How can we tell its right?
Chorus
Splitting atoms,
The theory you fathom
Will awaken and come alive.
It’s hard to imagine
The ideas that you fashion
Will come to materialize.
Verse 2
The secret is within
an incubator spin,
And much to your chagrin,
Will take you by surprise.
When veggies start to grow
From underneath your toe
And moss begins to show,
You won’t believe your eyes.
Chorus
Splitting atoms,
The theory you fathom
Will awaken and come alive.
It’s hard to imagine
The ideas that you fashion
Will come to materialize.
Verse 3
Dear Doctor, is it time,
To gather up the slime,
And force another rhyme,
Into an amplitude?
An elemental claim,
Experimenting game,
There’s never been a name
For what we’re going through.
Chorus
Splitting atoms,
The theory you fathom
Will awaken and come alive.
It’s hard to imagine
The ideas that you fashion
Will come to materialize.

With food shortage and starvation on the rise, Gnome City is in great peril! But fear not, brave citizens!

We tune in now to Zezop Way South to hear the mayor’s announcement.
It is with great honor that I can share such a momentous occasion with you fine citizens of Gnome City. Our beloved scientists have been hard at work building and developing this groundbreaking technology. Say goodbye to hunger troubles and hello to delicious, delectable fruits of the earth. It certainly fills my heart with glee to witness the birth of a new era where our gardens and wealth will flourish once again.

Vegetable Medley

Carrots,
Carrots on the hillside,
Frolic through the fields of lifetime.
Growing on the vine,
Their roots alive.
Carrots,
Carrots on the hillside,
Frolic through the fields of lifetime.
Growing on the vine,
Their roots alive.
Your dreaming in time,
They live there upon reflecting.
Its there that you’ll find
Those fields sprawled and never ending.
So slow, those vegetables.
Ready with your toasting glass to raise,
In a sunny side of growing grass to laze,
With their celery, Gnome City Labs will praise.
Now our future’s even brighter, can you not feel it?
If a carrot has a skin can you not peel it?
When a farmer picks an apple, does he not steal it?
Or is it his offer to answer the call?

Hear now, dear Mayor, what are we going to do?
Get a grip and hire someone to see us through.
Call him up and shut ‘em down, our fate is up to you.
Chorus
He’s a monster seducer captor.
With a badge and a gun tote slide.
Fastest hand in the western sector.
What a bad man.
Better watch out for Detective Sheriff.
Verse 2

Vegetables unstable, there’s gonna’ be a lot.
Crawl out from hiding are you ready, are you not?
Get a dinner fork tonight and eat ‘em while they’re hot!

Let me tell you something about them Bamboozle blues.

He’s a monster seducer captor.

The best sheriff that you’ve ever had,
You don’t want to make him mad!

What is that boom, Bamboozle Tesseract?
For you to pull cables and retract,
Before soon, overheat and overload,
Those smoke plumes come to cover up the
Chorus
Lights over Zezop Way,
Can’t put my finger on it,
Don’t know what to say.
Verse 2
What are those doomed mutant veggies on the loose,
They assumed we’ve no wanting for their juice,

Cruciferous Creepers
03:48
|

Malice,
Malice in the riptide.
Rotten mutants of a bad kind.
Creeping up the vine,
Their roots alive.

It will never end.
To find your way out,
You’re lost again.

Street Fight
03:32
|
|||
Verse 1
Street fight, all night,
I’ve got nothing to hide,
A monster to find,
A crooked knife.
A stranger design,
Cyanide crime
To take a life.
A bit of dismay,
With nothing to say,
So, who are they?
Peculiar kind,
Unpeel the rind,
Are they ripe?
Street fight, all night,
Cruciferous disease,
A lemon to squeeze,
Down on your knees.
Roll up your sleeves,
Now rinse and repeat
And rip the sheet.
Time to defeat
The only-to-eat,
A tasty treat.
There in the trees,
And down on the streets
We’ll find the broccolis.
Verse 2
Street fight, all night,
Cauliflower in stocks,
Are winding the clocks,
To be behind.
Tomatoes are sour
And seizing the hour
With red delight.
Pushing the soil
By daylight they toil,
And spreading fright.
Corn is to husk
From dawn to dusk,
They’re growing in light.
Never had a song to sing,
Drained it down the kitchen sink,
Had it been for everything,
Trade it for an onion ring.
There are mutant spuds to farm.
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
What is mine and what is yours?
To walk a path through several doors.
When is time to run its course?
What is mine and what is yours?
There are mutant spuds to farm.
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
One of us! One of us!
There are mutant spuds to farm.
No, we will not grow,
We will not grow to be one of your kind.
Grow to be one of your kind.
No, we will not grow,
We will not grow to be one of your kind.
Grow to be one of your kind.
