Full text of "Tyler, hello, it's nice to meet you. I like your songs.":

Verse One:

Hell is going to be other people.

On their knees the war pig's crawling

People discriminate against white people.

Look into my eyes you'll see who I am

Chorus:

Tyler, hello, it's nice to meet you. I like your songs.

Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face

Boy howdy I'm about to pop my top.

It's number is six hundred and sixty six

Verse Two:

Suffering sucatash!

Always takin' baby out that's o.k.

I shit myself.

They seem to mesmerize... can't avoid their eyes

Chorus:

Tyler, hello, it's nice to meet you. I like your songs.

Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face

Boy howdy I'm about to pop my top.

It's number is six hundred and sixty six

Chorus to fade

As promised, the full text of our metal song:

"Master of Evil dog-paddling"

By evil vincent van gogh

A Metal Anthem

Faster than a zombie (28 days later)

Terrifying lid

Enraged and like a demon

He's half man and half goldschmid

Master of evil dog-paddling I'm pulling your weenie

Twisting your deadly cold and smashing your soul

Blinded by me, you can't see the wienie

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you steal

Master

Master

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you steal

Master

Master

66/69 is the number of the lid.

A cruciform redeemed corpse nestled somewhere in time

A dormant impalement - no warnings, no signs

Judgment day and the a terrorizing lid arrives

Eventually, they all commit crimes

The soul went SMACK, there was no use turning back

'Cause I just had to see, was a lid watching me?

In the mist the deadly cold twists

Was all this swell, or just some kind of hell?

66/69 is the number of the lid.

Is it the end, my friend?

Master you're going 'round the bend

Half man and half goldschmid

No, no, please, no

66/69 ... 66/69
