WAKE ME UP (The Plot Is So Slow) by Fierro y Fe

+ Show full styles

STUDIO

[Intro]
[Sound of fingers snapping rhythmically: Snap-Snap]

[Bright, cheerful Melodica riff plays the "Wake Me Up" intro melody but slightly distorted]

[Vinnie - High Energy, shouting like a hype man]:
Jitterbug into the Upside Down!
Ay, Tony! Check the script!
You put the boom-boom into my heart?
Nah, you put the filler into the start!
Let's go!

[Verse 1]
[Fast Swing Beat - Happy vibes, Angry lyrics]
You sold us a mystery, a heavy militarized zone,
But the Army was sleeping, playing on the phone!
Where are the pregnant ladies? Did they just disappear?
Like a campaign promise in an election year!
You kept us waiting, charging up the beam,
Just to wake us up from a CGI dream.
The reunions were colder than a frozen pizza slice,
No tears, no passion, just rolling the dice!
Capisce? It’s a racket!

[Chorus]
[Explosion of Pop Joy - Handclaps & Melodica]
WAKE ME UP! THE PLOT IS SO SLOW!
WHERE DID THE LOGIC AND THE BUDGET GO-GO?
WAKE ME UP! BEFORE YOU END THE SHOW!
I DON'T WANT TO MISS IT WHEN THE RATINGS BLOW!
MAKAKO-SAMPO! (Charge it up!)
MAKAKO-SAMPO! (Fill the cup!)
YOU CHARGED THE LASER FOR A WHOLE DAMN SEASON,
AND FIRED A BLANK WITHOUT A SINGLE REASON!
YEAH, YEAH, BABY!

[Verse 2]
[Bass gets funkier. Vinnie raps with flow.]
It’s like the Senate floor, lots of suits and ties,
Talking about "monsters" while the economy dies.
Vecna is a puppet, a scary little guy,
But the Fresno Nightcrawlers are the ones who fly!
(Look at the pants! They walking alone!)
We wanted a climax, a battle for the throne,
But you gave us a pamphlet and a disconnected phone.
"Deus Ex Machina", the God in the machine,
Is just a lazy writer behind the screen!
Fuhgeddaboudit!

[Bridge]
[Breakdown. Just Drums and Snaps. Vinnie whispering loudly.]
C’mon, Eleven.
Lift the hand.
Bleed from the nose.
We seen it before, sweetheart.
Give me the GABAGOOL of storytelling!

[Melodica Solo - Fast, virtuoso, and ridiculous]

[Outro]
[Maximum Wham! Energy. Everyone dancing.]
WAKE ME UP! (Save the town!)
TAKE ME UP! (Burn it down!)
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE VOTING BOOTH!
WE JUST WANT THE CHAOS! WE JUST WANT THE TRUTH!
MAKAKO... (Pause for 3 seconds)... SAMPO!

[Final bright chord]
