Welcome to Lizardville
On the upper east side of Cheap City
That’s right. Up here we don’t go to work. We don’t play games
We just bask on hot rocks in the sun all day.
Lizards don’t care about the marketplace
Lizards don’t care about the human race
Everything here has a laid back frill
Welcome to Lizardville.
Welcome to town.
All the trains here run on time
And you can hear them coming with a melodic rhyme
It’s our neighborhood anthem.
It goes like this:
Welcome to our village
Our official sport is cribbage
We don’t concern ourselves with the troubles of the land
If it’s get too hot we bury our heads in the nice cool sand
Lizards don’t care about the marketplace
Lizards don’t care about the human race
Everything here has a laid back frill
Welcome to Lizardville.
Yeah Lizardville is a cultish libertarian hellscape
Where the official party line is not to worry cause we party all the time
And they allow the market to do as it pleases
With no regard to regulation in the service of individual liberties
And why should anyone try to solve a problem that they didn’t cause
Their inherited wealth allows them to ignore what’s outside their walls
Welcome to our suburb
When you’re here it’s always summer
We think everyone else in Cheap City is just a fucking sucker
If you run out of cash just take a nap in the gutter
Lizards don’t care about the marketplace
Lizards don’t care about the human race
Everything here has a laid back frill
Welcome to Lizardville.
