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 comfort 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 went wrong They'll say it's not their fault
So when you're feeling mighty 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 you 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 mighty 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
