Kick It Up a Notch

Starkid

PINCER-

 Scales and exoskeletons

 Why, they pale in comparison

 To a body that is covered up by skin.

 We get rid of those antennae,

 Give you hair and clothes, and then I

 Add two eyes and a nose and my boy that is only

 The beginning

 

(Talking) Hmmm…

 What do you say?

 You become a Starship Ranger?

 

BUG- 

(Talking) Me?

 

PINCER- 

(Talking) Now listen to me, my confused little friend, we are friends, after all. 

I used to have my fair share of doubts and fears and, well, they quite literally almost ate me alive. 

But NO! I took charge! I pushed it to the limit! 

So you gotta be strong. Be tough! 

To coin a phrase…be a man. Ahahahaha!

 

(Singing) You gotta kick it up a notch

 If you’re ever gonna reach your goal

 You can’t sit around and watch

 Your destiny is in your control

 Go ahead and, kick it up a notch

 If your life is at a level too low

 There’s no attempt, that you can botch

 When all you gotta do is just give it a go

 But then again, what do I know?

 

What I see right there

 Is a prisoner

 Who’s sitting on top of the key!

 

So kick it up a notch

 If you ever wanna be 

Free

 

BUG- 

(Talking) Wow. A real Starship Ranger. That- that would be the coolest thing in the world!

 

PINCER- 

It would, wouldn’t it? A bug in a human body. You could be the link between our race and theirs!

 

BUG- 

Well, do I even what it’d take-

 

PINCER- 

Shhhhh…

 

MOSQUITOES- 

(Singing) All you gotta do is

 Kick it up a notch

 To dig yourself outta this hole

 You wanna have the things they got?

 Then you gotta give that dice a role

 Kick it up a notch

 What’s the point of less when there’s more?

 Have a cigar

 A glass of Scotch

 When opportunity knocks on your door

 You let him in and then ya settle the score!

 

PINCER- 

Life is short

 So before it’s over

 Take a chance and think it through

 You better kick it up a notch

 

MOSQUITOES- It’s the human thing…to do.

 

PINCER-

 Hahahaha

 It’s a big, big universe

 So many dimensions and unanswered questions

 Not to mention

 Life

 What an invention

 Life

 There’s no choice involved in what you are given

 One mind, one voice, one body to live in

 But

 You wanna be

 A Starship Ranger

 Or is that a dream that you forgot?

 You wanna be

 A Starship Ranger

 Well this might be your, one and only shot!

 

(Talking) So here’s the choice, Bug!

 You can go on leading your meaningless existence

 Or you can take everything you’ve ever wanted

 All I ask in return, is that you befriend the humans

 And bring them back to me

 Well, Bug? Whaddya say?

 

BUG- 

(Singing)

 I…

 I..

 I think I’ll kick it up a notch!

 I don’t care about the Queen or the hive!

 

PINCER- 

That’s the spirit! Kick em all straight in the crotch, how bout that?

 

Bug-

 Yeah!

 Who are they to deprive us, who wanna do?

 

(Simultaneously)

 BUG-

 I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!

 I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!

 I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!

 

PINCER- 

Kick it up a notch

 Don’t give yourself a reason to doubt

 You gotta strike it while it’s hot

 Cause that’s what livings all about!

 My dear Bug, it’s time to start

 And

 OUT!

 

BUG- 

(Talking)

 Well, see you on the other side Pincer. I love you.

 

PINCER- 

(Talking)

 Duh oh…oh…uh I uh I love you too, Bug. Ahahaha

 

MOSQUITO- 

(Talking)

 I know we’re suckers, but that guys a SUCKER!

 

PINCER-

(Talking)

 Yes, yes what a dumba** 

 Break out the good china boys!

 Tonight, we dine, again!

 (Singing)

 Kick it up a notch

 Oh, my plan is all about to unfold

 Let’s put a twist, into this plot

 Bug, go forth, do everything that I’ve told ya

 When we, kick it up a notch

 

MoOSQUITOES-

 It’s blood for us!

 

PINCER-

 And brains for me!

 I’m gonna let this little snot

 Be everything he’s wanted to be

 But only because I know he’ll actually

 Feed my hunger for flesh

 I want it warm and fresh!

 

PINCER AND MOSQUITOES-

Oh, Pincer, you’re in for a treat!



(OVERLAPPING) 



PINCER-

Let’s kick it up a notch

 

MOSQUITOES-

 Kick it up a notch

 

PINCER-

 So at last

 I’ll have human, meat!

 HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
