I need a Match right now I’m the biggest flamer that you know I’m a bad boy And I was Never sad when Santa gave me coal Come see things From my view And maybe I can lighten up your life I love to see things in a fiery state Just give me a torch and I won’t hesitate I put the sin in incinerate I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, whoa Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, whoa When things go bad, the flames ignite I’ve never had a problem twice You may find Where I live The whole city has no trees in sight Hey hippies, Don’t freak out I recycle ash, so it’s alright My love for Flame boils I even kinda want to go to hell I think even Nero might look up to me And I don’t need a computer to burn a CD Billy Joel didn’t start the fire… that was me I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, oh Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, oh A fresh lit match makes me so glad Tell Johnny Cash I said “my bad” When I told mom that the house burning down wasn’t me, she called me a liar Unfortunately she’d figured me out… my pants were on fire I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, oh Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, oh

Birdfucker 03:14
You spend your days bird watching While petting your sap sucker And pelican debauching And goosing some poor clucker The early bird will get the worm If worm is just a cute sea term You're using to describe your sperm, birdfucker Now when you buy a chicken You don't want to pluck her No, you'd rather stick your dick in You filthy rubber ducker And in your wettest dream you let An ostrich and an emu peck your neck and double team you, birdfucker You fuck birds. There are no words Except birdfucker You'd get fowl with an owl You'd make sweet love to a turtle dove You want to screw and cockatoo You'd plug your hole with an oriole The common loon is your favorite poon You'd love a swan to cum upon You'd bury your meat in a parakeet You'd fuck an eagle if it weren't illegal There is no quail you wouldn't nail There is no stork you wouldn't pork You'd spill your sauce on an albatross Let loose your juice on mother goose Oh yes, you're throbbin' for a robin so good Misbehavin' with a raven and woodpecker peckin' your wood And the swallow swallows your birdseed That's what you need to skeet skeet to the tweet tweet And you're fuckin' a falcon And you're cocked in a hawk And you wanna make 'em all go SQUAWK! Cause you're a birdfucker You fuck birds.

Got no creativity No creativity We don't know anymore than just three notes Got no creativity No creativity If you thought that we did, the answer's nope Got no creativity No creativity We just can't seem to think cause we're on dope This song has like three words in it Cause I'm illiterate But make a billion dollars in this band And so I'll just repeat this line And then I'll make it rhyme Our fans have really sort attention spans We could have wrote a different part But let's not think too hard We gotta put this riff into its place And even though we're middle aged I still dress punk on stage The makeup helps to hide my ugly face Add some backing vocals here To make it sound bigger And also this guitar riff is a loop We wrote this song out of thin air But we don't even care We're only in this for the chicks and booze Now we'll just invert the chords It keeps us from getting bored Now the solo's simply more of what you heard before This part is all dramatic like It's time to bring down all the lights And then scream something in the mic While wearing this red sissy tie And now I'll scream cause I'm so badass And now it is just solo me Yeah just guitar and me Because I am so awesome at guitar Got no creativity No creativity We don't know anymore than just three notes Got no creativity No creativity We just can't seem to think cause we're on dope It is hard remembering Where we could end this thing Our drummer says he's lost and doesn't know Got no creativity No creativity This song should have been over long ago

Lesbian 03:39
When I was younger, I had my wishes I dreamed of being something else each day Wished I was a superhero or an astronaut in space My life continued, and as it happened I watched it from the sidelines and I looked back and realized how I wish it had began If I was a lesbian my life would be great I would be a lot less shy when asking girls out on dates And I’d be the cutest girl, as I’m sure you’re aware And I’d be the only girl I know to wear boys’ underwear And if I was a lesbian buy pretty clothes And I’d be all cool and edgy and I’d pierce my nose And I’d have a lot of fun comparing boobs with my friends And I wouldn’t be afraid of getting pregnant again As I grew older and went to high school I was your average teenage boy Wearing makup and skinny jeans was the stuff that I enjoyed And then it hit me one fateful weekend I tried to lez out with my friends one day Then I knew that my path in life was not completely straight If I was a lesbian my life would be grand Cause I’d go around in public holding my girlfriend’s hand And I’d read a bunch of anime and vampire books And I could finally buy pantyhose and not get crazy looks And if I was a lesbian I’d dance in my bra And I’d make out with another girl in front of grandma And I’d finally ask girls out without getting turned away Cause it seems like every girl I like always turns out gay

I'll tell you a story about a man with a plan in the city of Amsterdam I can read your face just like a book, let's take a look, learn how to cook Feast on the eyes of a new day, careful of the spray, you know what they say Grab that towel on the ground, shove it round, don't let it be found Take this plastic fork, put it in your eye Put this puppy dog in the catapult and watch him fly Listen to the trees scream their songs of peace and nuts Doorknob in the face when you bring the final cut Never been like a big guy, throw it down old school, you know what they say Grab the soda pop in the machine, make sure it's clean while you look away Holes in the fort, holes in the fort, whoa Holes in the fort, holes in the fort, whoa Take this plastic fork, put it in your eye Put this puppy dog in the catapult and watch him fly Listen to the trees scream their songs of peace and nuts Doorknob in the face when you bring the final cut

Laughing clown ventures forth in a hot air balloon Spreads his magic fairy dust all around the room Little good girls and little good boys set their eyes to the sky Wanna see just how high the crazy clown can fly I see the world through your golden eyes The lizards who taught me to read My love’s like a library card, it’s all the same to me I make an attempt trying to see the trend But I can’t get to the end It’s just the pain that time won’t mend Like poisonous ink from a pen Flame weekends in the pale moonlight The clown’s journey ends tonight Somberly yet sweetly he puts out his pilot light Lands softly in the water, his ambition grows dry Little good girls and little good boys begin to cry I see the world through your golden eyes The lizards who taught me to read My love’s like a library card, it’s all the same to me I make an attempt trying to see the trend But I can’t get to the end It’s just the pain that time won’t mend Like poisonous ink from a pen

Dumbledore died a pretty long while ago But his followers mourn to this day A tragic event, we wish that he didn’t go Then we later found out that he was gay Well I was dicking around outside the castle grounds And I found the beloved man’s grave So to pay my respects I set some flowers out And I water them in my own special way I’m draining the lizard on a dead gay wizard There’s a slight chance of rain for our headmaster today I’m leaking the Schwartz upon the master of Hogwarts And I’m pissing on Dumbledore’s grave Dumbledore’s memory will be in our dreams Well, we always knew that he was Number One And though I’m washing those memories away in a stream There are many good things that he’s done If your day was a drought he’d always help you out With a golden shine from within He would come to your side at each catastro-pee So you’re safe from the danger urine I’m draining the lizard on a dead gay wizard The chamber of secrets sprung a small leak today I’m making an ocean with a magical potion And I’m pissing on Dumbledore’s grave This act I’m committing seems so perfect and fitting And it feels so good to pour these feelings out As he sits and decays I’m feeling pretty okay Besides a shower’s one thing he’s gone too long without From the land of the free to France where they say “oui, oui” They say I’m doing something awful and wrong But though a great flood of pee-ple might be pissed off at me At least they’re not getting pissed on I’m draining the lizard on a dead gay wizard I’m speaking in Parseltongue to whip out the snake I’m whizzing the wand to make a magical pond And I’m pissing on Dumbledore’s grave I’m draining the lizard on a dead gay wizard I can hear Rowling bawling but I still won’t behave I’m baptizing the phoenix using my full petrenis And I’m pissing on Dumbledore’s grave Everybody! I’m draining the lizard on a dead gay wizard It’s the first wand unleashed on him since his dying day Though I’m merely a Muggle, I can summon a puddle And incase you were pee-occupied and didn’t hear me… I’m pissing on Dumbledore’s grave
15.
The first mistake I made was not filling up with gas And then I screwed myself when I had a few drinks and crashed And now I’m in a loop of free fall through abyss Now I won’t be going home and I’m really really pissed Never been this far away from home Now I can’t see anyone at all I told myself I’d be found but I guess I lied The timer’s ticking down but what’s left of me is stuck on this ride Now I’m lost in space and my engine has collapsed Communication’s down and I can’t check Google Maps I checked my phone but here, I don’t have any bars The only place I’m going is over the stars Never been this far away from home Now I can’t see anyone at all And the stars so vast surround me yet I’m all alone Never been this far away from home Now I can’t see anyone at all But for now I’m here, waiting for the day that I cease to breathe Then I’ll be swallowed up and get my own constellation named after me

about

Nuclear Bubble Wrap's fourth album is a brain-bursting bonanza of far-out music and outlandish gags! Featuring the viral hits "Sharktopus," "Draining the Lizard on a Dead Gay Wizard" and the Logan Award-winning "Avada Kedavra," each of which were featured in videos on AlbinoBlacksheep. "Exploding Head Syndrome" is the first professionally-recorded NBW album, and the extra spit-shine certainly allowed the band to unleash the full force of its pop-culture-jamming insanity for the band's first foray out of the strict confines of comedy music into a great, musical unknown.
