Hey Judas

John Archibald Wheeler once said that time is just nature's way of stopping everything from happening at once, as if the universe had a limited amount of bandwidth, or low RAM, like an early 80's games console Certainly without time things would make a lot less sense than they already do, and there's a whole host of reasons why time travel wouldn't work If butterflies flap their wings to make hurricanes, then crash-landing a Delorean in the Cretaceous is gonna derail every little step of the pathway From the garage where you built the thing in the first place Back around to your parents fucking before an open fire on their second date But we're scientists right? Open like new flowers to enquiry, the universe, new ideas and new paradigms And it might just be that our under-evolved ape brains can't yet conceive the permutations and contortions of logic that could lead from how we understand the world now to how it could be That the wormholes and shortcuts that might throw Einstein for a loop but make the whole thing somehow, impossibly, inconceivably possible So, here's the deal. You have a time machine The question is... What are you gonna do with it? I'd say it's obvious, you have to make plans Arm yourself with a paper and pen Hum your way through every Top 40 hit Since the hit parade started and make a list Learn all the words, remember the tunes Make sure you have it all written down Set the dial to where you're heading to The year before Elvis: 1952 Now, welcome to your alternative life You are the king of rock and roll, insurmountably high You have the songs, you are the king of radio You preempt every fashion like you knew exactly which way to go It just seems to be effortless The way you write them in ten minutes or less And bitter nobodies can't explain how You took their inner secrets and spewed them out your mouth Before they could write them down But wait a minute, seriously, wait a minute This has happened before, I swear this has happened before There were those two weird kids from Liverpool, they came out of nowhere Wait a minute, John and Paul something... Paul McCartney and John Lennon Came back from a different future Armed with notebooks filled up with songs Stolen from kids who now stay at home Paul McCartney and John Lennon Came back from a different future Armed with notebooks filled up with songs Stolen from kids who now stay at home Mark Chapman was sent back in time To assassinate John Lennon Paul is left but the questions is Who will be the T-1000?
