The Presidents of the United States of America Lyrics

Under the island, middle of a mountain
There is an explosive system located underneath the island, deep in the mountain.

There is a big bad boomin' system
This system is large and powerful, capable of great destruction.

Blowin' speakers, woofers and tweeters
The explosive power is so great that it has blown out sound equipment.

Amplifiers, melted wires
Not only has it affected the sound equipment, but it has also melted the wires and amplifiers that power it.

The parties exploded, the core is corroded
The parties held with this sound system have caused the core of the mountain to deteriorate.

Underground of Puget Sound
This explosive system is located beneath Puget Sound.

'Causin' a shiftin', and a driftin'
The explosive system is causing the tectonic plates to shift and drift.

Big black boom box, stuck in the hot rocks
The explosive system can be compared to a large, black boom box that is embedded in the hot rocks of the mountain.

It's in there flowin', it's in there growin'
The explosive power is continuously flowing and growing, becoming more and more dangerous.

You don't believe me, that this scenery could be a cold blooded killer
Many people remain unconvinced that this beautiful landscape could potentially be a deadly killer.

It's gonna blow, volcano
Despite disbelief, the explosive power underneath the island is going to erupt like a volcano.

Now the island is shiftin', plates are liftin'
As the explosive power intensifies, the island is shifting and the tectonic plates are lifting.

The core is creamy, docile and dreamy
The explosive power has caused the core of the mountain to become creamier, docile and dreamier.

Stopped up and steamy
The system is blocked and the pressure is causing steam.

Happy campers, poop in their Pampers
People in the area are becoming increasingly nervous, even scared, and are losing control of their bodily functions.

When the mountain becomes a fountain
Once the explosive system erupts, the mountain will turn into a fountain of hot lava.

Of white hot lava, molten magma
This fountain will consist of white hot lava and molten magma.

Super sonic, plate tectonics
This explosion will be so powerful that it will affect the plate tectonics in the area and cause a supersonic boom.

Stereophonic, lava and tonic
This explosion will be so great that it will be heard in stereo, and will have a similar effect as an alcoholic drink (tonic).

The boom is bionic
The explosion is so powerful that it seems almost robotic, or superhuman.

Sony shut down, Magnavox meltdown
Even electronic equipment (Sony and Magnavox) will shut down or melt under the power of this explosion.

Ballistic breakdown
This explosion will cause a breakdown in communication and create chaos.

Hi-fi heatwave, lo-fi lava cave
This explosion will create a high-fidelity heatwave and a low-fidelity lava cave.

That sulfur smells is Mount St. Helens
The smell of sulfur is a sign of a volcanic eruption, which Mount St. Helens has experienced before.

Pompeii was yellin'
The eruption will be so powerful that it will be heard throughout the world, much like the eruption of Pompeii in ancient times.
