Cut to the Cat by Kevin Godley Lyrics
We have to be careful not to alienate people
'Cause everyone likes a little violence
We need to be inclusive
I’m talking all faiths and creeds
What about restrooms?
Can we show what we like
Or is this gender assignment thing a problem?
In some parts of the world yes
But it's not clear yet if it’ll kill the business
Or be a speed bump or alchemy how can I know? How can I know?
But what I do know and what’s becoming really clear
You can't have black backgrounds behind the screens anymore
It needs to be white, white
As in supremacist? No!
As in Apple
It's the default design color for now
Cos it’s easy on the eye
It’s clean
It’s fresh
Won't we get mauled by the Black Backgrounds Matter people?
And do we need to skew things towards a younger demographic?
Which suggests that homicide needs a little less abrasive name
How about Bye Byes?
I like Bye Byes - 30 seconds max or 10
Maybe you import a song from your playlist
And run it in Snap Chat
And add bunny ears
Is it possible?
Well we need to scope it
But yes I believe so
We could maybe get an MVP out
By the end of the world
Bottom line
You can do anything as long as people smile
For 20% of screen time
Language is tricky though
Motherfucker is passé
And we still got a problem with the C-Word
But pretty much anything goes
And the trick is to make what's really offensive
As inoffensive as possible - How would I know?
If it's a home invasion
Do the family have to look like they're enjoying it?
Or do we cut to an ad for home security?
Or medical insurance? - Something I know
Or do we shoot the intruders?
Cos revenge cuts through everything
But no more than two shots a perp
Any more would be gratuitous
But if Granny's getting gang-raped by
Smacked-out zombies
Cut to the cat
Everybody loves Grumpy Cat
R.I.P
'Cause everyone likes a little violence
We need to be inclusive

Or is this gender assignment thing a problem?
In some parts of the world yes

Or be a speed bump or alchemy how can I know? How can I know?
