Key: Am
Intro: Am G Bdim Am Am G Bdim Bdim
Verse Am Gm
Intro:
we have the chemical
we have the chemical for you!
we have the chemicology we have have the alchemy
we have the chemicals for you
Intro 2:
The year is 18--. The diseases are rampant and it’s all the government’s fault. Sex is illegal. The Mighty Industrial Revolution has given us so much. Based on these gifts the chemicology* industry, an application of alchemy, is booming. Andrew Carnegie, well known for his work with the chemicals, is employing millions of children. No one has tried to stop him, until now.
Chorus: 4 bars
This is serious heed my words
don’t let the kids eat the chemicals when they work
im andrew carnegie
i invented alchemy (he stole it from the wizards)
I was born in 1776
the lord has bestowed upon me
the power to make money with the chemicals
i hate children
i want them all dead
unless they work for me
Chorus
A child of three
I wish I could feed my family
i love my mom and my dad kind of
i work so hard to buy their love
the chemicals burn my skin and my eyes
i work all day and it hurts my eyes
they tell me not to eat them but i do
they taste so good but it hurts too
Chorus

Key: C major
(man yelling) DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
(sexy bassline comes in)
verse: (rapping)
first things first now sex is illegal
you can’t get past me, i got eyes like an eagle
i’m watching every move you make and if you touch those privates
i’m takin you downtown
down to the station - you cant fuck there either
and no masturbation - i know that youre eager
to touch yourself, and all your friends
but making love is outlawed and the rules don’t bend
hook:
don’t even think about it
don’t even try
i’m watching you
you can’t hide
speaking part interlude:
hey you! yeah you!
get those hands outta your pants
thats a 500 dollar fine
if you can’t pay that.. you’re goin’ to jail, buddy
verse: (rapping)
we got officers assigned to every home
you heard that right, you’ll never be alone
but it’s the price you pay for being so horny
why don’t y’all try living your life more holy
go to church, serve the lord
there’s more to life than just tryna score
listen to my words, and you’ll be fine
and obviously don’t have sex in the meantime
pre-hook:
this is a free nation
you can do whatever you want
except you can’t do it
with yourself or with other people
don’t kid yourself, you know that it’s evil
you can’t. do. it.
hook:
don’t even think about it
don’t even try
i’m watching you
you can’t hide
andrew carnegie speaking part:

...okay, so, does everyone understand the deal with-
you can’t have sex? it’s against the law- it’s illegal?
you guys all got that? okay…
so yeah, don’t even think about it (don’t even think about it!)
don’t even- (don’t even think about it!)
don’t even- if you even touch your-
don’t even wash your privates in the shower
not even with a loofa or a washcloth
you’re gonna have to let that stuff get a little stinky
but it’s uh, that’s the devil’s work
okay. as long as everyone understands the deal,
i guess i’ll be outta here.

disease president:
(laugh)
I’m the president
and I’m gonna fuckin give you all the fuckin diseases
and there’s nothing you can do it about
typhoid, the plague, the common cold
They’re all yours free of charge
With all of humanity incapacitated
Soon, I will become the supreme ruler of the Mighty Industrial Revolution
Every Ironmaster must bow to me!
(laugh)
child of three:
stop!
i’m sorry, mr. president
but it’s your time to go
i was a child of three
but now i’m older now
i’ve come here to take down
you are gonna die from every disease
sometimes a man
has to do what he must
sometimes a woman
same thing
there is no difference between us all
we are the same
and now we die
