Seven's Song (The Hunchback)

This is a parody of "The Boxer" by Paul Simon

I am just a hunchback

And a madman's humble clone

I have pondered my existance

In a smock and safety goggles

Such assurances

Are small at best

Still, a man guards fears he wants to fear

And disregards the rest

With the lab my home

And my family

I was made to be employed

In the company of monsters

In the chaos of the absent caution

Nothing dared

Nothing known

Know my name is but a number

Tribute to the six before

Legacy of failures

All those clones of yore

I say why

I say why say, why say why, I say why

Why say I say, why say why, I say why say why

Seeking dangerous missing monsters

I go leaving from the lab

But I find no horrors

In the basement hall of doors

The doctor calls to me

"Look under there"

Does that make this all a joke

Sung 'bout

Some monster underwear

I say why

I say why say, why say why, I say why

Why say I say, why say why, I say why say why

When I ponder on the matters past

And wond'ring where I'm from

Chromosome

Where the synapse tempers matters

Of insanity

Sanity

Chromosome

In the lab room stands a madman

And a doctor by his trade

There he conjures his assistants

With fev'ry drive that gave him muse

In madness, when he made me

Flipped the axis of my brain

Am I saner?  Am I saner?

Well, it's not for me to say

I say why

I say why say, why say why, I say why

Why say I say, why say why, I say why say why….
