by Underground Panther in the Sky
Since you had different parodies on yer site, I got inspired in the shower today and I wrote this one. It's sung to the tune of "The Brady Bunch" ...
Let me tell you a story, 'bout a game called Normal
It's really no more than a psycho hunch
That people to be a better species
need to die a bunch
In eighteen seventy-seven Normal was invented
It's birthplace was the mind of Francis Galton
Galton had a fondness for pins and boxes
The marbles said who'd pass on
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's why we all play the Normal Game.
Galton was a cousin of Charles Darwin
Of origin of species writ of fame
They were cruel men thought of as smart men
None dare call them insane.
Galton thought he'd engineer evolution
Some greedy rich men felt that this was it
They called it a genius innovation
Their heads were full of shit.
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's why we all play the Normal Game.
Till the one day when Galton sold the public
And they believed it was much more than a crock,
Because Darwin said our species might be guided.
let's start with Galton's cock.
The bible scholars were up in a furor
Evolution still has their panties in a bunch
But it's the people who evolved into the churchmen
Whom ate the normals for lunch
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's what happens when we play the Normal Game.
Years later a Galton fan named Hitler
Took normal to it's very scary ends
He killed lots and lots and lots of people
He even killed his friends
But these stubborn and clever eugenicists
Wouldn't stop normal o'er bad press
they changed tactics, co opted psychology
And made a total social mess
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's what happens when we play the Normal Game.
Eugenics then warped the social mindspace
Creating false ideas about human minds
Take a person, make them play Normal
fit in to save their face
So psychiatry has forced us to be 'normal'
The crazy norms became our 'sanity'
We are so scared now of being different.
We act like Hannity
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's what happens when we play the Normal Game.
So we'd rather lie than know our own life story
Never admit how confused and scared we are,
But we are different people living all together
Hiding from our scars
So to avoid this we all try to look real normal
Pretend our life it is not so very rough
Denial and control is our way of life now
So we must be tough.
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That's what happens when we play the Normal Game.
So It seems that old man Galton got his way now,
It seems we all are normal to a fault,
Monoculture rules in the suburbs
Normal is a cult
The Normal Game
The Normal Game
That is why we all play the Normal Game.
