A Closing Song (or That’s The End of Braindead)
The final song wrapping up all the loose ends from Braindead Season 1
Some things got much better while some other things got worse.
Lets tie up some loose ends while the space bugs all disperse.
All the head explosions notwithstanding, mostly everything turned out alright!
Laurel’s leaving politics, she’s tired of D.C.
Some day she might finish her dream documentary.
She and Gareth got a place together, they kiss and canoodle every night!
[How many kids do you want?
Zero, why, how- how many kids do you want?
The normal amount, like five or six?]
Red made some mistakes but never really paid the price,
Stayed on as a senator, got re-elected twice.
Easily distracted, not intelligent as such,
Turns out having half a brain just doesn’t matter all that much...
[Well, I’m not a scientist...(am I?)
(No sir)
So... I can’t tell you a hundred percent whether global warming is real, but, a... doggy woggy. There is doggy woggy. Why can’t I have a doggy woggy...? What I mean is that there are those who believe that global warming is a conspiracy put forward by the Chinese... You tell me.]
Same for all the senators, who needs a perfect brain?
Powerful and stupid but at least they’re not insane.
Somehow everything still holds together, even when it’s running off the rails.
Dean lost something precious and it really took a toll.
He’d gladly trade his Parkinsons for partial mind-control,
So the ending isn’t perfect, but at least there’s love and kindness when it fails.
[*groans “help”*]
You can vote your conscience, you can vote to make a point,
Or cut and dry your principles and smoke them like a joint.
Though we rarely rise to be the best that we can be,
Just stand up and be a citizen, it’s called democracy.
Luke is forced to leave but got a better offer right away,
Wall Street firm has slightly fewer principles, and higher pay.
Laurel came to help him right before another market crash,
When everyone was long on risk and dumbly sadly short on cash.
But that’s another story that they’ll write someday I bet.
And as for all the space bugs, well so far nobody’s seen them (yet).....
