Unreal, by Amory McKeever




I'm always fighting alien invaders
Arresting crooked wall street traders
I boldly go where no one has gone
Discover a planet full of Klingon's

My friends and I are Wolverines!
With fathers actually worth avenging
Steve McQueen chases me in Bullitt
Billy Ray Cyrus admires my mullet

All of these memories I wish I could keep
where life is worth living while I'm fast asleep
please don't stop me when I'm counting sheep

I'm surrounded by zombies hungry for brains!
Lucky my shotgun shells never drain
I'm elected President in 2040
and do it with YouTube rather than money

I'm so important I want my own autograph
I'm the most fascinating person, Barbara Walters says that
I tell a joke so funny Chuck Norris cries
We cure cancer with his tears saving millions of lives

All of these memories I wish I could keep
where life is worth living while I'm fast asleep
please don't stop me when I'm counting sheep

I forgive my late father of his many sins
and stop dwelling on all my might-have-beens
I'm the man I always promised I'd be
and write out all my apologies

My woman loves me without condition
she stands beside me during the demolition
I rebuild myself better and finally
my son looks up to me excitedly

All of these memories I wish I could keep
where life is worth living while I'm fast asleep
please don't stop me when I'm counting sheep
All of these memories I wish I could keep
Why oh why can't I ever die in my sleep?

All of these memories I wish I could keep
Why oh why can't I ever die in my sleep?
