Kick It Up a Notch - Starkid

Scales and exoskeletons
Why, they pale in comparison
To a body that is covered up by skin.
We get rid of those antennae,
Give you hair and clothes, and then I
Add two eyes and a nose and mai boy that is only
The beginning

(Talking) Hmmm…
What do you say?
You become a Starship Ranger?

Bug- (Talking) Me?

Pincer- (Talking) Now listen to me, my confused little friend, we are friends, after all.
I used to have my fair share of doubts and fears and, well, they quite literally almost ate me alive.
But NO! I took charge! I pushed it to the limit!
So you gotta be strong. Be tough!
To coin a phrase…be a man. Ahahahaha!

(Singing) You gotta kick it up a notch
If you’re ever gonna reach your goal
You can’t sit around and watch
Your destiny is in your control
Go ahead and, kick it up a notch
If your life is at a level too low
There’s no attempt, that you can botch
When all you gotta do is just give it a go
But then again, what do I know?

What I see right there
Is a prisoner
Who’s sitting on top of the key!

So kick it up a notch
If you ever wanna be
Free

Bug- (Talking) Wow. A real Starship Ranger. That- that would be the coolest thing in the world!
Pincer- It would, wouldn’t it? A bug in a human body. You could be the link between our race and theirs!
Bug- Well, do I even what it’d take-
Pincer- Shhhhh…
Mosquitoes- (Singing) All you gotta do is
Kick it up a notch
To dig yourself outta this hole
You wanna have the things they got?
Then you gotta give that dice a role

Kick it up a notch
What’s the point of less when there’s more?

Have a cigar
A glass of Scotch
When opportunity knocks on your door
You let him in and then ya settle the score!

Pincer-
Life is short
So before it’s over
Take a chance and think it through
You better kick it up a notch

Mosquitoes- It’s the human thing…to do.

Pincer-
Hahahaha
It’s a big, big universe
So many dimensions and unanswered questions
Not to mention
Life
What an invention
Life
There’s no choice involved in what you are given
One mind, one voice, one body to live in
But
You wanna be
A Starship Ranger
Or is that a dream that you forgot?
You wanna be
A Starship Ranger
Well this might be your, one and only
Shot!

(Talking) So here’s the choice, Bug!
You can go on leading your meaningless existence
Or you can take everything you’ve ever wanted
All I ask in return, is that you befriend the humans
And bring them back to me
Well, Bug? Whaddya say?

Bug- (Singing)
I…
I..
I think I’ll kick it up a notch!
I don’t care about the Queen or the hive!

Pincer-
That’s the spirit! Kick em all straight in the crotch, how bout that?

Bug-
Yeah!
Who are they to deprive us, who wanna do?

(Simultaneously)
Bug-
I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!
I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!
I’m gonna be a Starship Ranger!

Pincer-
Kick it up a notch
Don’t give yourself a reason to doubt
You gotta strike it while it’s hot
Cause that’s what livings all about!
My dear Bug, it’s time to start
And
OUT!

Bug- (Talking)
Well, see you on the other side Pincer. I love you.

Pincer- (Talking)
Duh oh…oh…uh I uh I love you too, Bug. Ahahaha

Mosquito- (Talking)
I know we’re suckers, but that guys a SUCKER!

Pincer-(Talking)
Yes, yes what a dumba
** Break out the good china boys!
Tonight, we dine, again!
(Singing)
Kick it up a notch
Oh, my plan is all about to unfold
Let’s put a twist, into this plot
Bug, go forth, do everything that I’ve told ya
When we, kick it up a notch

Mosquitoes-
It’s blood for us!

Pincer-
And brains for me!
I’m gonna let this little snot
Be everything he’s wanted to be
But only because I know he’ll actually
Feed my hunger for flesh
I want it warm and fresh!
Oh, Pincer, you’re in for a treat!
Let’s kick it up a notch

Mosquitoes-
Kick it up a notch

Pincer-
So at last
I’ll have human, meat!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
