About the song
KING KOBRAAAAAAAA
Lyrics
Greek Creation Mofo Song

There was an empty void, an empty darkness,
The only thing was a black bird called Nyx
It laid an egg, from which came Eros
He was the god of love, was real mellow

And from the egg came:
Prometheus of the Earth, and Uranus of the sky
They fell in love, but that’s real lame
They had children, and their children’s children, and their grandchildren’s children

But Uranus treated those kids pretty bad
And Gaia thought, what a bad dad
So she made Cronus set things right’n
She’ll make Uranus remember the titans

So Cronus smited him and took all of his power
I think it’s time he took a cold shower,
Because he married his sister, became the king of titans
Just like Conan O; Brian is the king of late nightin’

Cronus heard all his chullin’d kill him,
So he swallowed every single one of em’
Except for one was hidden, that’s Zeus
Cronus was screwed, should’ve tied the noose

So Zeus killed him with Hades and Prometheus
Ya better believe these gods made the a-list
Now it’s time for Zeus to create human kind
He thought Prometheus and Epimetheus would do just fine

Epimetheus made animals, Prometheus made man,
And they had to give gifts to each of them
But Epimetheus gave them all to the animals, what a fool
His Brotha’ Prometheus gotta take em’ to school

Prometheus gave man fire, which was only for the gods
You can bet Zeus didn’t appreciate this a lot
So he chained him to a mountain, had a vulture peck out his liver
Just the thought of it makes me shiver

Zeus made a thing to make all men twitch,
Her name was Pandora, what a (censored)
Zeus made her Epimetheus’ wife
He was stuck with her… for life
Except she had a box that she wasn’t supposed to open
Curiosity killed the cat and curiosity won
And out from the box came sickness and plague
But out at the end a voice did said:

Let me out, I am hope

So the world got hope, who knows what it was
Maybe hope was the pope or Jesus or Buddha
Maybe it was Schwarzenegger or Washington or Lincoln,
But that’s the end of this myth, hope I got you thinkin’.
