2012... You Must Be Upgraded
The Flaming Lips feat. Ke$ha & Biz Markie Lyrics
'Cause I want my ass...
Shit, one more time?
(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)
(You must be upgraded)
Well it's 2012, think we're going to hell (you must be upgraded)
Put me under your acid spell (you must be upgraded)
Because I want my mind to be completely toast (you must be upgraded)
When the tides destroy the whole West Coast (you must be upgraded)
Because I want my ass to be jumping, too (you must be upgraded)
Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)
(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)
So with the world ablaze, I'm in an acid haze (you must be upgraded)
And though the end is near, I have no fear (you must be upgraded)
So the deal for me is not the same (you must be upgraded)
I'm having fun, while you're having pain
2012, the morning to the New Year's light
Just save yourself, oh I'll meet you on the other side
Is this the ending, they could have called the fall of man?
Is this the ending, or are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start
(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded)

One of the most interesting pop songs I have ever heard. The guttural Ke$ha powers through two minutes of a three chord modernist song, sounds like a train in the subway, and when all seems lost she sings one of the most haunting beautiful tunes every committed to vinyl.
Different Stuff

See thie info: "Ke$ha is doing a collab with flaming lips". I Think "But wait, ke$ha compose stuff?" "The answer is problably no, so this means will just call her and use her as a vocal?" see this video Flaming lips & Ke$ha AND BIZ MARKIE. Now everything is explained.
