Books are Violent
[Verse 1: Gumball, Colin & Darwin]
Everybody read a book, wreak havoc across the nation
Come on just have a look, there's such violent inspiration
"Lord of the Flies" is a book each parent cherishes
The feral kids survive, but the one with glasses perishes
[Verse 2: Darwin, Billy & Felicity]
If you want more blood and guts, give Shakespeare's plays a try
In Titus Andronicus, a mother gets her son served up in a pie
You did this to me, mother (Ah!)
[Verse 3: Banana Joe]
Legends, myths and fairy tales
Will make their readers shriek and wail
[Verse 4: Penny]
Red Riding Hood is pretty bizarre
Where a wolf dresses up as a girl's grandma
[Verse 3: Alan & Gumball]
I've read Greek myths just like you, sir
When they get beheaded, like Medusa
And I read "Tortoise and the Hare,"
A tale of torture and despair
[Interlude: Gumball & Darwin]
Fight!
You haven't read that one, have you?
E-, no
[Verse 4: Tobias]
If you read Dickens's Oliver Twist
You'd shut the library door and lock it
It's all about these homeless kids
Who learn how to pickpocket
[Skit: Felicity & Gumball]
Okay, I get it, that's enough
Fiction should be banned
But history books are just as bad!
Perhaps a rap will help you understand!
(Juke, hit it.)
[Part 2: Rap Version]
[Beatboxing: Juke]
[Verse: Gumball with Penny]
It's just words, words, words
Cover to cover
Bound with a spine, word to your mother
But books are the same, every story
To video games, they're just as gory
Romeo, oh Romeo, Romeo is your homie-o
[Outro: Gumball, with All students]
To be or not to be, that's the question for a G!
"Huck Finn's Adventures" by Mark Twain.
All these books are driving me insane
So who should really get the blame?
Are books as bad as video-games?
