Out Of The Tar Pit

A cautionary tale of what happens when a violent dinosaur is given a second chance to get behind the wheel of a car. I reserve the right to cut down any of this if it is too difficult to sing/shout.

Me and my friends, wrongdoing is our fancy
And we were fed up of kicking our heels around town
Thought that we’d turn to some necromancy
And attempt to raise a dinosaur from the ground
We got a pentagram and some candles to burn
We couldn’t get a goat so we sacrificed the intern
Out of the pit it came, lurching and wretched
It didn’t take long for us to start to regret it

He was a monster (out of the tar pit!)
He was a brutal beast (out of the tar pit!)
It all went too far (out of the tar pit!)
It hotwired a car (out of the tar pit!)
It seems like we’re finished and we’ve only just started
An ill-advised full return for the departed
And we’re never gonna get those stains out of the carpet
The ones made when that fucker came out of the tar pit!

The dinosaur was driving without a care in the world
It was a car against humanity, a war flag unfurled
The spectacle was terrible, we didn’t think it through
Horror’s only entertaining when it’s not happening to you
We thought it would be funny and no one would get hurt
But when we asked for merchandise we didn’t want to wear the shirt
Everybody loves to hear the sound of car crashes
Except for when they’re woken by the lights and the flashes

He was inhumane (out of the tar pit!)
An atrocity exhibition (out of the tar pit!)
Spoilt like old milk (out of the tar pit!)
Gaston’s ilk (out of the tar pit!)
It seems like we’re finished and we’ve only just started
An ill-advised full return for the departed
And we’re never gonna get those stains out of the carpet
The ones made when that fucker came out of the tar pit!

Violent scum
Not fit to lick my crumbs
A banner beast for the out of date
Unworthy of opposable thumbs
We’re gonna break hearts and records tonight
We’re gonna break hearts and records tonight
We’re gonna break hearts and records tonight
We’re gonna break hearts and records tonight

Why is this permitted? (out of the tar pit!)
Why is this licensed? (out of the tar pit!)
Ignorant and unsighted (out of the tar pit!)
Passé and violent (out of the tar pit!)
It seems like we’re finished and we’ve only just started
An ill-advised full return for the departed
And we’re never gonna get those stains out of the carpet

The ones made when that fucker came out of the tar pit!
