Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
So when you gaze at planet Earth from outer space,
Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face?
I saw this aura over the battleground states.
I lost the money, lost the keys,
But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase.

[Chorus:]
And I never thought, not in a million year,
That I'd meet so many Lolas.
Can I please have my money back?
My virtual reality mask is stuck on ‘Parliament Brawl',
Emergency battery pack, just in time for my weekly chat
With God on video call.

[Verse 2:]
Breaking news, they take the truth and make it fluid,
The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward,
A montage of the latest ancient ruins
Soundtracked by a chorus of "You don't know what you're doing".

[Chorus:]
And I never thought, not in a million years,
That I'd meet so many Lolas.

[Bridge:]
And all of my most muscular regrets
Explode behind my eyes like American sports.

[Chorus:]
And I never thought, not in a million year,
That I'd meet so many Lolas.
