[Verse 1] Saturday morning, blood on the screen. Optimus dying in chrome and steam. "Till all are one" - we held our breath. Cereal going cold at a hero's death. I ate the cereal, stared at the blade. Every bad secret came pre-animated. Cape in the closet, fists in the foam, Prime taught me heroes don't make it home. [Pre-Chorus] Spin that frame, let it rot. Sugar-coated, then it drops. Wide-eyed grin, dead-end glare, every kid show left a scar there. [Chorus] Toon gore, toon gore (tear it apart) Toon gore, toon gore (black little heart) Laugh, then snap (laugh, then snap) Saturday screams coming right back Toon gore, toon gore (shred that cheer) Toon gore, toon gore (it's all right here) Bright on top, grave inside Cartoon death was always mine [Verse 2] Five screaming lions, Voltron's war march. Mumm-Ra ascending from the temple dark. Shredder's blade gleaming, Krang in his gut, "Knowing is half" - the other half cuts. I wore that panic like a parade. Skeletor's snark in the Saturday shade. Transformation sequence, blade behind the grin, Same old nightmare kept me locked in. [Pre-Chorus] Spin that frame, let it rot. Sugar-coated, then it drops. Wide-eyed grin, dead-end glare, every kid show left a scar there. [Chorus] Toon gore, toon gore (tear it apart) Toon gore, toon gore (black little heart) Laugh, then snap (laugh, then snap) Saturday screams coming right back Toon gore, toon gore (shred that cheer) Toon gore, toon gore (it's all right here) Bright on top, grave inside Cartoon death was always mine [Bridge - half-time breakdown] Now the channel hisses, the colors decay. Skeletor's still snarking from far away. No more rescue, no clean goodbye, Just ink-black thunder in a child's eye. [Final Chorus] Toon gore, toon gore (tear it apart) Toon gore, toon gore (black little heart) Laugh, then snap (laugh, then snap) Saturday screams coming right back Toon gore, toon gore (shred that cheer) Toon gore, toon gore (it's all right here) Bright on top, grave inside Cartoon death was always mine
