The Thing on the Bass Amp

Well it got my goat

For heaven's sake!

What? A-Ha!

See something's come over

The people around here

They never leave their comfor zone

What? A-ha!

They seem not to care

So try to steer clear

As the legend goes

Of the mystery house

The old man in his basement chained

A monster in the cabinet

A creature of habit

incredibly inevitable

Incredibly strange

Ever since the day

Just like a parade

When the old man moved to town

The people started losing track

Of important things they'd known

And folks 'round here lost the will

To get things done at all

Ask someone what wwent wrong

They'll say it's not their fault

So when you're feeling might low

Not just a little, but a lot

You realize you're all messed up

But don't feel bad

A voice inside your head says

It's not your fault

The Thing

That climbs into your head at night

The Thing

With selfish teeth and greedy eyes

The Thing

That helps you escape your mistake

The Thing

There's something else that you can blame

THE THING IN THE BASS AMP

He unleashed the beast on the people

When it hit no one cried or screamed

They all went about their business

Getting back to the front of the TV screen

Now the thing, he's part of your

He'll keep your pride alive

And who are they to accuse you?

I guess they think that thing's a lie!

It's a lie!

It's a lie!

It's a lie

It's a lie!

So when you're feeling might low

Not just a little, but a lot

You realize you're all messed up

But don't feel bad

A voice inside your head says

It's not your fault

The Thing

That climbs into your head at night

The Thing

With selfish teeth and greedy eyes

The Thing

That helps you escape your mistake

The Thing

There's something else that you can blame

It's alive!

It's alive!

It's a lie!
