Everything You Know Is Wrong

I was drivin' on the freeway in the fast lane

With a rabid wolverine in my underwear

When suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat

Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes

I guessed, is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?

Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?

Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?

I probably would have kept on guessing

But about that time, we crashed into the truck

And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt

Finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer

Who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me

Everything you know is wrong

Black is white, up is down and short is long

And everything you thought was just important doesn't matter

Everything you know is wrong

Just forget the words and sing along

All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong

I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams

When I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension

And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space

Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr

They sucked out my internal organs and they took some polaroids

And said I was a darn good sport and as a way of sayin' thank you

They offered to transport me back to any point

In history that I would care to go

And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night

So I could pay my phone bill on time

Just then the floatin' disembodied head of

Colonel Sanders started yelling

Everything you know is wrong

Black is white, up is down and short is long

And everything you thought was just important doesn't matter

Everything you know is wrong

Just forget the words and sing along

All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong

I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin

When I got a nasty paper cut

And, well, to make a long story short

It got infected and I died

So now I'm up in Heaven with Saint Peter by the pearly gates

And it's obvious he doesn't like

The Nehru jacket that I'm wearin

He tells me that they've got a dress code

Well, he lets me into Heaven anyway

But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine

For all eternity

And every day he runs by screamin'

Everything you know is wrong

Black is white, up is down and short is long

And everything you used to think was so important doesn't

Really matter anymore because the simple fact remains that

Everything you know is wrong

Just forget the words and sing along

All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong

(Everything you know is)

Everything you know is wrong
