Jonathan Coulton - Re: Your Brains

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

Maybe I've watched too much "Walking Dead" but I'm beginning to have my suspicions about the Villagers that populate our Sunday shows. That's right. I think we're looking at a zombie problem, people. Think about it. It's the same people over and over (my god, ABC...John McCain, again???) and it's all the same conversations. If that's not an attempt to eat our brains, I don't know what is. And as the song says, the idea of compromise in Washington is "why don't you agree to let me do what I'm going to do anyway?". Zombies, I tell you.
