Lyrics
0:09I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane
0:12With a rabid wolverine in my underwear
0:16When suddenly a guy behind me in the backseat
0:19Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes
0:21I guessed is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie
0:24Is it Bob or Joe or Walter
0:27Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed
0:28Or Bernie or Steve
0:29I probably would have kept on guessing
0:31But about that time we crashed into a truck
0:33And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt
0:36Finally I recognize the face of my Hibachi dealer
0:41Who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me
0:45Everything you know is wrong
0:48Black is white up is down and short is long
0:51And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
0:56Everything you know is wrong
1:00Just forget the words and sing along
1:03All you need to understand is
1:05Everything you know is wrong
1:09I was walking to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams
1:13When I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension
1:17And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space
1:19Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr
1:21The sucked out my internal organs
1:23And they took some Polaroids
1:25And said I was a darn good sport
1:27And as a way of saying thank you
1:28They offered to transport me back to any point in history
1:31That I would care to go
1:33And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
1:36So I could pay my phone bill on time
1:38But then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling
1:44Everything you know is wrong
1:47Black is white up is down and short is long
1:50And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
1:56Everything you know is wrong
1:59Just forget the words and sing along
2:02All you need to understand is
2:05Everything you know is wrong
2:44I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
2:48When I got a nasty paper cut
2:51And well to make a long story short
2:53It got infected and I died
2:55So now I'm up in heaven with Saint Peter by the pearly gates
3:00And it's obvious he doesn't like the Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
3:04He tells me that they've got a dress code
3:08Well he lets me into Heaven anyway
3:10But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity and
3:16Every day he runs by screaming
3:19Everything you know is wrong
3:23Black is white up is down and short is long
3:26And everything you used to think was so important
3:28Doesn't really matter anymore
3:30Because the simple fact remains that
3:32Everything you know is wrong
3:35Just forget the words and sing along
3:38All you need to understand is that
3:41Everything you know is wrong
3:42Everything you know is wrong
3:44Everything you know is wrong
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane With a rabid wolverine in my underwear When suddenly a guy behind me in the backseat Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes I guessed is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie Is it Bob or Joe or Walter Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed Or Bernie or Steve I probably would have kept on guessing But about that time we crashed into a truck And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt Finally I recognize the face of my Hibachi dealer Who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me Everything you know is wrong Black is white up is down and short is long And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter Everything you know is wrong Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is Everything you know is wrong I was walking to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams When I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr The sucked out my internal organs And they took some Polaroids And said I was a darn good sport And as a way of saying thank you They offered to transport me back to any point in history That I would care to go And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night So I could pay my phone bill on time But then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling Everything you know is wrong Black is white up is down and short is long And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter Everything you know is wrong Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is Everything you know is wrong I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin When I got a nasty paper cut And well to make a long story short It got infected and I died So now I'm up in heaven with Saint Peter by the pearly gates And it's obvious he doesn't like the Nehru jacket that I'm wearing He tells me that they've got a dress code Well he lets me into Heaven anyway But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity and Every day he runs by screaming Everything you know is wrong Black is white up is down and short is long And everything you used to think was so important Doesn't really matter anymore Because the simple fact remains that Everything you know is wrong Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is that Everything you know is wrong Everything you know is wrong Everything you know is wrong
