(Slightly slower, but still aggressive tempo. Heavier bass line and gang vocals.) (Intro) (Four quick, sharp drum hits) Hey! Ho! Let's go! (x2) (Verse 1) The sugar rush is over now, the cheap mask hanging from my brow Stuck on the porch with a melted fright, another boring Halloween night They carved the face, they lit the wick, but this plastic holiday makes me sick It's all a lie, a painted shell, ready for the stink and spell! (Chorus) Pumpkin rot and pogo! Down in the dirt we go! Smash the gourd and stomp the seed, we don't need your seasonal greed! Pumpkin rot and pogo! Say no to the status quo! This ain't a party, it's a mess, a glorious, glorious ugliness! (Verse 2) The neighbours stare from across the street, they don't like the noise, they don't like the heat They lock the doors, they draw the blinds, scared of what we leave behind We raid the patch beneath the moon, singing out of tune, soon, soon, soon The perfect image starts to crack, there's no turning, no turning back! (Chorus) Pumpkin rot and pogo! Down in the dirt we go! Smash the gourd and stomp the seed, we don't need your seasonal greed! Pumpkin rot and pogo! Say no to the status quo! This ain't a party, it's a mess, a glorious, glorious ugliness! (Bridge - Tempo slows and bass becomes more prominent, almost a grind) The smile goes soft, the eyes collapse, caught in nature's rotting traps That sweet perfume turns to decay, and that's the only honest way Tear it down, tear it all down, right here in this awful town! R-O-T! That's the energy! (Guitar Riff - Simple, descending, heavy notes) (Chorus) Pumpkin rot and pogo! Down in the dirt we go! Smash the gourd and stomp the seed, we don't need your seasonal greed! Pumpkin rot and pogo! Say no to the status quo! This ain't a party, it's a mess, a glorious, glorious ugliness! (Outro) Rot! Rot! Rot! (Gang vocals) Pogo! Pogo! Pogo! (Drums speed up to a frantic beat and then stop) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
