From hiddeninthesand.com: “Overture is a song by Rob Cantor and Rick Lax. It is the first song in Mr. President, There’s an Asteroid Headed Directly For the Earth: The Musical
Song Meanings
Mainly to just make fun of how ridiculous musicals are in serious situations."
[Verse 1]
You're all gonna die
The world's gonna end
You'll be pleading for mercy
You'll be bleeding and burning up
[Verse 2]
You're all gonna die
And your grandma will die in her bed
Everything living
Will cease to be living instead
[Chorus]
But first it's a musical
It's astronomical
We've all been practicing
We're so prepared
You're in for a musical
For it just began
It's like armageddon
Had a child by the music man
[Verse 3]
Your wife and your kids
They're not feeling well
Because they're melted puddles
On the ground
Burnt bits of baby strewn around
[Verse 4]
The world's gonna end
Definitely you will die
Watch as your life
Flashes before your eyes
[Bridge]
We'll still be singing and dancing
And having a ball
We've got drama and tension
And asteroids
Emotion, adventure
We've got it all
And you can watch it every single night
[Chorus]
Because it's a musical
On your computer screen
Time to begin
Let's cut to the titular scene
[Outro]
Mr. President, there’s an asteroid
Headed directly for the earth!
