- Jonathan Coulton: Some kind of meteor came down / No one knows where it's from / They shipped it off / So they could study it in Washington / Guess what? It's filled with space bugs / Now they're loose and eating people's brains / Poor Laurel only wants / To make her documentaries / She's out of money / So she works for Luke, her brother / He's a Democratic senator / She listens to constituents complain / Gareth is working for / Red Wheatus who is a senator / A Southerner, Republican / A drunk / Government is shutting down / Until they find a work-around / Deal they make looks like a slam-dunk / But space bugs crawl into Red's brain / And start controlling him / He steals a Democrat / And flips him to Republican / The shutdown happens / And now everybody's mad again / Laurel discovers Scarlett sleeping with her brother / And it looks like Scarlett / Probably has a space bug problem, too / You know your day was lousy / When somebody's head / Explodes on you.
