Gap-Toothed Prophecy

Intro

Oh oh

Hm-mm

One two

Here we go

Verse 1

Nineteen fifty two New York

Two outlaws planned a major heist

Harvey drew the fire

Gaines paid the price

Comics Code tried to act polite

The magazine was born in a storm of spite

Cleanest obscenity you ever heard

Chorus

What me worry says the gap-toothed kid

Alfred grins at all the stupid things we did

Gap-tooth kid

Gap-tooth kid

Buy a pittance worth of spin

Let the idiocy win

Let the idiocy win

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Win win

What me worry

Oh oh

Verse 2

Black versus White with knives out

Antonio left Havana for the ink

Spy vs Spy

Don Martin makes the kitchen sink go sploink

Doodles in the margins

Weirdos in the corners

Marginalized madness

Chorus

What me worry says the gap-toothed kid

Alfred grins at all the stupid things we did

Gap-tooth kid

Gap-tooth kid

Buy a pittance worth of spin

Let the idiocy win

Let the idiocy win

Bridge

Fold the page back until the hidden answer shows

Dave Berg watches while your office boredom grows

Snappy answers

Sacred song

All the culture smells like ink

Cheap ink

Beautiful ink

Chorus

What me worry says the gap-toothed kid

Alfred grins at all the stupid things we did

Gap-tooth kid

Gap-tooth kid

Buy a pittance worth of spin

Let the idiocy win

Let the idiocy win

Post-Chorus

What me worry

What me worry

What me worry

Neuman forever

Oh yeah
