BrainDead Episode 2 “Previously” Song Jonathan Coulton

Some kind of meteor came down - no one knows where it’s from
They shipped it off so they could study it in Washington
Guess what? It’s filled with space bugs; now they’re loose and eating people’s brains
Poor Laurel only wants to make her documentaries
She’s out of money so she works for Luke, her brother, he’s a Democratic senator
She listens to constituents complain!
Gareth is working for Red Wheatus, who’s a senator, a Southerner, Republican, a drunk
Government is shutting down, ‘til they find a work-around - deal they make looks like a slam dunk!...
But space bugs crawl into Red’s brain and start controlling him
He steals a Democrat and flips him to Republican
The shutdown happens and now everybody is mad again
Laurel discovers Scarlett’s sleeping with her brother and
It looks like Scarlett probably has a space bug problem, too
You know your day was lousy when somebody’s head explodes on you
