about
EVERYBODY, LET’S BE HONEST: “Yeesh, I sure wish someone would write a song about the homogenisation of music, which has only accelerated in an era of competing Spotify playlist optimisation, TV show syncing demands for similar and inoffensive soundtracks, and algorithms designed to serve you more-of-the-same in a race-to-the-artistic bottom bid for dwindling attention spans.”
AWESOMEOSAURUS: “Can we interest you in a 5 minute psychedelic rock song using peak evolutionary sea creatures as a metaphor?”
lyrics
(Many, many, many, many
Many, many, many, many
We follow the law
The law of the claw
The law of the claw)
Arise from the ocean
And conquer the land
Fall on your knees and prepare to receive
The terrible Laws Of The Crab
The convergence of oceans
Mixing of the bloodlines
They can’t repeat
Not that wonderous feat
Of the time they defined
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
Oh, we can’t repeal
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
(Take another chance, take another stab, take another crack)
Interstellar schematics
The decapod’s shrine
Forever they creep
To that pinnacle’d peak
Of perfection designed
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
Oh, we can’t repeal
The Laws Of The Crab, the Laws Of The Crab
Nature’s many attempts
At the crab
Continue the research
And return back to the lab
The king’s an imposter
For he stole the throne
The hermit is living
In another man’s home
It’s the crab!
(Oh, it’s the crab
Take another chance, take another stab, take another crack at the crab)
Nature’s many attempts
At the crab
Continue the research
And return back to the lab
The king’s an imposter
For he stole the throne
The hermit is living
In another man’s home
Nature’s many attempts
Many attempts at the crab
Continue the research
And return back to the lab
The king’s an imposter
For he stole the throne
The hermit is living
In another man’s home
It’s the crab
(Many, many, many, many
Many, many, many, many
We follow the law
The law of the claw
From ocean to shore
From starboard to port
The claw, the claw, the claw is the law)
