Chorus: Dude! Like that’s not too rad! Get away from us, you’re not groovy anymore.

Oedipus: Dat an’t cool homies, I’m feelin’ the pain, yo.

Chorus: You just made two wrongs, man. That’s like crashing and burning twice in a row.

Oedipus: Yo, homies, I can’t see you, but I’m feelin’ the love.

Chorus: Dude! Why’d ya poke your eyes out? Your face looks like ya got attacked by a shark!

Oedipus: My brotha in da hood, Apollo made me do it. And now there ain’t nothin’ nice left for me here.

Chorus: Yeah, man, I’d be way totally bummed if I was you.

Oedipus: Yo my life is cursed and I pay yo. I ain’t stayin’ here in Thebes, boy. This ain’t my ghetto no mo’.

Chorus:: Right on, dude. Right on. I find it totally tubular how well you express your radical emotions, dude!
