The Catch-Up Song

logo
Letra
You see

Taxis are Ubers

The stars are YouTubers

Neil Tyson gave Pluto the axe

Cell phones got smarter

The oceans got hotter

The global economy collapsed

We get internet deals

On our hyphenate meals

Like cage-free, Vegan-Paleo sausage

We don't leave our homes

Thanks to Amazon drones

They track what we do

Through our watches

What's going on? Will we be okay?

Has it all gone mad since we went away?

Oh update us please, and put us at ease

Cuz we've run out of jokes

About the 90s

Al Gore lost bad

'cause of one hanging chad

Dubya hunted for Dubya-em-dees

Obama brought hope

So Clinton thought "Dope!"

"Twenty-sixteen should be a real breeze"

(So, Hillary finally broke that glass ceiling?)

(No, but it certainly does feel like it's raining shards of glass all around us)

The country's cut into two

The red and the blue

Facebook's a toxic waste dump

The Fox friends are doting

The Russians are voting

And now there's a President Trump

(At least, we think there's still a President Trump)

(You see, the writers are writing this in 2018)

(How is that possible?)

(The people rely on Animaniacs for outrageous and relevant content)

(Well, how can we finish catching up when we don't know happened in the last two years?)

(I don't know, wild guesses?)

(Sounds good to me!)

We have chips in our brains

We no longer feel pain

There are worsening climate disasters

Now we live underground

And we can't make a sound

Lest we anger our polar bear masters

(They've come south for revenge!)

We breed birds without arms

On our factory farms

And we live in aluminum bunkers

We sent humans to Mars

All the food comes in bars

And the top-rated show is called "Clunkers!"

(It's about a talking police car!)

(Who's also a time machine!)

(Wow, here comes the star, Clunko!)

(I travel through time, solving crime!)

That's what's going on

In the world today

It's as crazy now

As when we went away

Our ratings depend

On knowing the trends

We're all caught up

That's how this song ends!
