Lyrics

Extinction Burst

[Intro]

Today is going to be the greatest day of your life

Today is going to be the greatest day of your life

Today is going to be the greatest day of your life

[Verse 1]

With a head full of pancakes, a gut full of rot

He shoots from the hip for one final

[Chorus]

Extinction burst

Extinction burst

Extinction burst

[Verse 2]

He ran like a bastard and jumped like an ape

He left the crowd cheering his one final

[Chorus]

Extinction burst

[Verse 3]

Randy throws fastballs like man's never known

Kobayashi ate hot dogs to take the throne

The avocado is shedding its pit

Beef on a pancake to a tree don't mean shit

[Chorus]

Extinction burst

Extinction burst

Extinction burst

Extinction burst

[Outro]

Today is going to be the greatest day of your life

Today is going to be the day you get up on your heels and fight

In the face of all that you disdain you will burn so bright

Extinction burst
