Lyrics
♪ WAKE UP! ♪
♪ You've got a lot to do today ♪
♪ Feel proud and wipe your eyes, 'cause hey ♪
♪ Stifle the yawn, You stayed up 'til dawn ♪
♪ Let's see what you been workin' on ♪
♪ IT'S GONE ♪
♪ Keep in mind the DEADLINE is closing in ♪
♪ Your byline, the headline, They're in the bin ♪
♪ Uncompleted, all deleted ♪
♪ WHAT'S GOING ON!? ♪
♪ You'll have to crunch and work til' dawn til' you die! ♪
♪ Cut out the corners, cross the Ts and dot the Is ♪
♪ Whip out the white-out but keep it in good taste ♪
♪ Just so that no one will ♪
♪ Ever know it's defaced ♪
♪ Ooooh... ♪
♪ Epithet Erased ♪
