The Frowning Quokka

VERSE 1

A species of animal that was born to smile

Quokkas got fur and a whole lot of style

Lined up like chess pieces for their photo op

Here comes the flash bulbs and the crowd pop

Nothing could go wrong in the land of ear scratches

There’s no fine print and there are no catches

Rub their fuzzy bellies and feed them cherry pie

Laugh and have fun, ‘cause it’s a heavenly high

VERSE 2

But there’s always one who’s having a bad time

With a face sourer than a lemon and lime

Because he was different, he was made the villain

Gave seniors heart attacks, scared away the children

Nobody asked him if he was feeling alright

They assumed he was toxic like a pandemic blight

The frowning quokka had opinions of his own

But it’s hard to tell the story with a burned out tone

VERSE 3

While his smiling brethren danced on without him

He sat in the darkness playing music so grim

The tears wouldn’t come, because they’re not manly

Only the freaks could do it, they’re already uncanny

Remembering a childhood of leather belt beatings

A horny ex-wife who he divorced for cheating

A lifetime of pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge

Stress-eating every meal like he had an endless fridge

VERSE 4

Life is always easy when there’s someone to talk to

But instead there’s an army of strangers to mock you

“You look like you’ve got a bug stuck in your ass

You look like you’ve got a giant food baby to pass

You’ve got Small Dick Energy for years on end”

And then they wonder why you don’t want to pretend

That everything is okay in your fiery underworld

Got your finger on the trigger, never leave it uncurled

BRIDGE

Bang, bang! Now they’re going to die!

Bang, bang! And they still wonder why!

Bang, bang! Quokka genocide, bitch!

Bang, bang! Leave them all in a ditch!

Boohoo! Now there’s no turning back!

Boohoo! Put a clip in your mag!

Boohoo! Now you know what to do!

Say goodbye to a world that you never knew!

Bang, bang!
