Intro
Verse 1
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane with a rabid wolverine in my underwear
when suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes
I guessed "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie? is it Bob or Joe or Walter?
Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"
I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time we crashed into the truck
And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer
who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me
Chorus 1
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is, everything you know is wrong
Verse 2
I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams when I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension
and soon I was abducted by some aliens from space who kinda looked like Jamie Farr
They sucked out my internal organs and they took some polaroids and said I was a darn good sport
As a way of saying thank you they offered to transport me back to any point in history that I would care to go
And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night so I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling
Chorus 2
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is, everything you know is wrong

Verse 3
I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin when I got a nasty papercut
And well, to make a long story short it got infected and I died
So now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter by the pearly gates and it's obvious he doesn't like the
Nehru jacket that I'm wearing, he tells me that they've got a dress code,
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway but I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity
And every day he runs by screaming
Chorus 3
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long, and
Everything ya used to think was so important doesnt really matter anymore because the simple fact remains that
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is, everything you know is (everything you know is), everything you know is wrong!
