Lyrics[]
You were always quite the loser, Jeremy
Then I invaded and you upgraded
Badababa woah
Jeremy, it's true that I found you
But look around you
Woah
All your peers are just so incomple-e-ete
You can't see it, but they're all in pa-a-ain
Their operating system's obsole-e-ete
So let's complete the chains
And get inside those brains
Let's save the pitiful children, woah
Let's save the pitiful children, woah
Let's teach the pitiful children, who just haven't a clue
Just what to do
He-elp them to he-e-elp you
Ah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Can you see the vision clearly, Jeremy?
Users embracing and interfacing
beepbobobbo
Shiny, happy people singing swee-e-etly (yeah)
Gone is human error a-and fear (beeb bop boo beep bop boo beep bop boo beep)
Every issue tucked away so ne-e-eatly
If you feel a sob or tear
Turn that knob and switch that gear
Let's save the pitiful children, yeah
Let's save the pitiful children, yeah yeah yeah ye-yeah yeah
Let's teach the pitiful children, who just haven't a clue
Just what to do
He-elp them and soon this will be you
Let's save the pitiful children, rab beep beep bope
Let's save the pitiful children, re bop bo beep bop bo beep bop bo
Let's teach the pitiful children, who haven't a clue
That's what we do
If that's what we do
Then everything about us is going to be wonderful
We love everything about Squips
Everything about us is going to be so alive
We could never live without Squips
You won't feel left out or unsure
Not pitiful children anymore
'Cause
Everything about us is going to be cool
When... we... rule!
