The Day The Bass Player Took Over The World
The day was very subtle, everything was low-key,
The sky it was so overcast that you could barely see,
And everything slowed down to a slower frequency,
The day the bass players took over the world.
Well, they came pouring out of symphonies, orchestras and bands,
And every other kind of combo that was ever known to man,
And although it was spontaneous, you'd think it was quite planned,
The day the bass players took over the world.
Now one day the bass players, they decided to uprise,
They were tired of being sidemen to all those other guys.
So they kidnapped the horn section,
They put drugs in the drummer's drink,
And they tied up all the guitar players
With their big ol' flat-wound strings.
And on that day the world it was finally set free,
All the creatures they hung out together and interacted fretlessly,
And the air began to vibrate with such a deep tonality,
The day the bass players took over the world.
O Dia Que os Baixistas Tomaram Conta do Mundo
O dia foi bem sutil, tudo na tranquilidade,
O céu estava tão nublado que mal dava pra ver,
E tudo desacelerou pra uma frequência mais lenta,
O dia que os baixistas tomaram conta do mundo.
Bom, eles saíram em massa de sinfonias, orquestras e bandas,
E de todo tipo de grupo que já foi conhecido pelo homem,
E embora tenha sido espontâneo, parecia bem planejado,
O dia que os baixistas tomaram conta do mundo.
Agora, um dia os baixistas decidiram se revoltar,
Estavam cansados de serem coadjuvantes dos outros caras.
Então sequestraram a seção de metais,
Colocaram drogas na bebida do baterista,
E amarraram todos os guitarristas
Com suas cordas flat-wound enormes.
E naquele dia o mundo finalmente foi libertado,
Todas as criaturas se juntaram e interagiram sem se preocupar,
E o ar começou a vibrar com uma sonoridade tão profunda,
O dia que os baixistas tomaram conta do mundo.
