about

Lu and Nick, having gotten nowhere with Sheriff Nazington, attempt to report their zombie sighting to Professor Itsacult at the University. He explains that once the zombie population reaches critical mass, they will cease their apathy and grow quite intent on brain-eating.

lyrics

Let me tell you something of a serious nature
I must inform you both that you're in terrible danger
The zombie is a callow and nefarious creature
Believe me I know something of their nomenclature
I've studied in the works of Aristotle and Nietzsche
From Plato to Lacan, they all have something to teach ya,
I've come to one conclusion and I think you'll agree
When zombies come to town you better get up and flee

You better hop that bus, catch that train
You don't have time to sit around and complain
You better hop that bus, catch that train
When the zombies come to town they're gonna eat your brain

Plato understood the way that zombies behave
He recommended that you run and hide in a cave
Kierkegaard released his bowels and trembled in fear
Every time he thought of the undead coming near
Schopenhauer spoke of their formidable will
Descartes declared: "It thinks, therefore it kills"
And even Karl Marx had this to say:
"Who cares if it's, an opiate, it's time to pray!"

(chorus)

Believe me when I say this town is under a curse
& nothing you can you do will put into reverse
They only stay inside the cemetery at first
But things will very quickly go from bad into worse
Soon you'll see them driving 'round the town in a hearse
Their eyes sunken in and all their insides have burst
They've got a single thought inside their heads, you see,
Just how tasty your brains are gonna be

(chorus)

Better move those legs, haul that ass
You don't wanna stick around for critical mass
You have to understand that when you're dead you're in pain
And there's only one thing that can make it wane
And that's a mouthful of a living brain
When zombies come to town they're gonna eat your brain
