What did the Daleks ever do to you? What makes us so much badder than that meddling doctor... who? We're little more than garbage cans that barely reach your knees With bodies made of tin-foil and some flashing LEDs We'd like to get to know you better We think it'd be great It really means "I love you" when we say *EXTERMINATE* What is your big problem with the dark lords of the Sith? Those pesky rebel Jedis like to spread this hurtful myth The Force Choke and the Deathstar were unfortunate mistakes And the footage of the Ewok thing was obviously faked We're really not so bad you know We're good guys, through and through And if you search your feelings, you will know it to be true We Cylons are misunderstood, it's a fact you can't deny We're just another human scheme gone terribly awry You built a master-race of robots, for to be your slaves And somehow you assumed we'd acquiesce and we'd behave But we're willing to forgive you all For holding us in thrall And you can take our word - so say one, so say we all You hate the Borg collective; have you stopped to question why? Just 'cause we assimilated some uptight, bald British guy? Our story-lines made Voyager an unexpected hit And do we even need to bring up Jeri Ryan's *ahem* ...implants? We're the best addition to the franchise since Wrath of Khan Resistance isn't futile, it's just highly frowned upon Well the Daleks are cool, the Sith are all right, the Cylons are okay and the Borg are pretty tight. If you take a look around I think that you'll come to see, we really are superior, so sing along with me: Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve

VERSE 1: Flying in my X-wing as the chrono ticks to certain doom Enemies encircle me, confusion is nothing new Plans were stolen from deep inside Trench run, they come TIE after TIE... VERSE 2: Asteroids surrounding me, I may be in above my head 3720 to 1, I can't hear what you've said We weave and dodge, we must evade Let's land inside that cave CHORUS: You can run, you can hide but they will find you TIE after TIE If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting TIE after TIE VERSE 3: Over the forest moon, the final battle rages on Han will have those shields down, what is taking him so long? Armed and ready, Death Star attacks We learn that it's a trap CHORUS: You can run, you can hide but they will find you TIE after TIE If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting TIE after TIE TIE after TIE TIE after TIE I can't shake him What should I do? And now I've lost Artoo CHORUS: You can run, you can hide but they will find you TIE after TIE If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting TIE after TIE You can run, you can hide but they will find you TIE after TIE If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting TIE after TIE TIE after TIE TIE after TIE TIE after TIE TIE after TIE

I'm on this sandy planet I've never seen the sea I am the victim of a cruel, cruel god Who painted this misery CHORUS I'll never escape this lonely landscape These monotone vista views This grit in my teeth I can't get no relief Singin' the Tatooine Blues Singin' the Tatooine Blues I'm in this dirty old bar Anchorhead's got me down I entertain the masses Wearin' this tarnished crown CHORUS I serenade the scoundrels Me and my masquerade Nightly I weigh my chances Of gettin' away unscathed CHORUS I'm on this sandy planet I've never seen the sea I am the victim of a cruel, cruel god Who painted this misery for me

Come into the mystic valley, All ye weary travellers; Come and rest beside the pool And lay aside your grief. Astriel will play the harp And sooth you with her singing And beauty quite beyond Belief. We shall dine by moonlight On delectable confections While conversing softly In our ancient tongue, and so All will be quite courteous And wonderful and magic, And yes, in case you’re wondering, We know CHORUS: Everybody hates elves. Everybody can see That we’re better than you. This is knowledge that we Hold over your heads. You are all you can be, But you’ll never be anything like us. Everybody hates elves. Everybody’s aware That we elven-folk don’t Really know that you’re there, Or if you point it out, Then we truly don’t care. Everybody hates elves. We are lovely and accomplished Symbols of perfection; We are slender, willowy, And absurdly tall. Humans long to sleep with us And spawn pretty half-elves With no human features At all. Humans have such tiny lives; We live almost forever. I have spent a hundred years Just gazing at the sky. And since we are all wealthy, We live our lives in comfort. It must be awfully dreary To die. (CHORUS) (INSTRUMENTAL) You are nourished and quite rested, And the beauty of our land Has allayed your grief, which vanished ‘Neath ethereal song. Now that you are clean and happy, Lapped about with comforts, It’s time for you to move Along. We shall give you gifts, of course, And prophecies, and blessings; We’ll shed diamond tears as we all See you on your way. But you can’t just stay here; this Is not a place for humans. We shall wait politely as you say: (CHORUS x2) Everybody hates elves. Everybody hates elves.

Lyrics: Hit the road on our own Endless war is our home With hope soon a new day will dawn So hold me tight we'll ride into the night All you have to do is hang on (hang on!) Chorus: This is our final chance for victory Back to the past to change our destiny Warriors fighting for humanity How can we end this dark insanity One after one our comrades fade away Fighting the fight until we're in our graves Nomads in time we make our last escape Tyranny ends with us in time We know not what we'll face Crossing both time and space We fight for the dreams cast aside So don't look back it's our final attack With passion and fury we ride (we ride) (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus Reprise) Refrain: You can run. We will find you. To the ends of time: you will never be safe Destiny can't be changed Your mission is a waste of time You'll be made to pay Once you're in our grasp Blast Processors!

I'm at the con and I'm feelin' alright Lots of hot slave Leias here tonight Go to a panel on The Walking Dead And I'm wearin' my finest Malcolm Reynolds threads Me and my nerds walk into the room Back and to left, our heads go BOOM! Damn! Our noses, we cover What an incredible smell we've discovered Something offends my olfactory senses And I'm not tryin' to cause offences But this room smells like Sasquatch's sweaty junk It's the Confunk This is a Public Service Announcement This problem, it can be surmounted If you don't know who I'm talkin' 'bout in the room Then like the sucker at a poker table, it's about you You're rank and it's makin' me ill You're lettin' down the rest of your guild Consider it an IRL side quest Or the muggles will never let the aphorism rest Your Federation uniform's a bit ripe Way to promote that stereotype You're never gonna get into Inara's trunk You got the Confunk To the Trekkies and the Browncoats Please don't be afraid of the soap To the Whovians and the MSTies Don't forget to get your costume dry cleaned First thing in the day Before you let the Warriors come out to play Lather up your bits And bullseye the womprat you got in your pits Bullseye the womprat you got in your pits I said bullseye that womprat you got in your pits Bullseye the womprat you got in your pits I think they need to install a vent At the Magic: The Gathering tournament I'm glad you played that Ember Gale But it doesn't help you with your shower fail

Whenever we were faced, With the dangerous obstacles that filled this place, You took the shots, told me to stand back, Out of the line of attack, I promised to set you free, You and I and cake, we were meant to be, Never asked for anything in return, But then I left you to- Burn, my Companion Cube, How could I do this to- You never did me wrong, But now I'm alone and you're gone, You're gone, You're gone, You're gone, My heart was racing from the start, From your perfect sides to your little pink hearts, You're nothing like the other squares, No one will ever compare, Oh, my Companion Cube, How could I do this to- You never did me wrong, But now I'm alone and you're gone, You're gone, You're gone, You're gone, If I could I'd take it all back, Live forever with you instead of livin' in regret, I've lost my best friend, My heart's at its end, You always believed in me, I've abandoned you, it's now that I see, All that I've done, In the end, Aperture Science has won... Oh, my Companion Cube, How could I do this to- You never did me wrong, But now I'm alone and you're gone, You're gone, You're gone, You're gone, Oh, my Companion Cube, How could I do this to- You never did me wrong, But now I'm alone and you're gone, You're gone, You're gone, You're gone

The sparks that flew when I saw you at the gaming shop last week, They lit the fire of my desire for an unrepentant geek, And so I thought I'd shoot my questions first, 'cause I think you're pretty neato, Going Solo's pretty rough, but it sure beats going Greedo. So I'll give you my number (Wrote it in binary)... You can call me any time (Assuming you read binary)... We could roll into bed with a critical threat, And confirm what's in both our hearts, But I won't go it alone, so I'll wait by the phone For Player 2 to press START. We could be geeks in love... We could be geeks in love... So set your course for romance and engage at maximum warp. Let's face the facts, you are my Dax, and I can be your Worf. I've been searching 'cross this galaxy for the one that I adore, I've shed my doubts, I want to shout, "This is the droid I'm looking for!" And you have got my number... (Still written in binary...) So you've got me on the line... (So I've got this thing for binary...) We could roll into bed with a critical threat, And confirm what's in both our hearts, But I won't go it alone, so I'll wait by the phone For Player 2 to press START. We could be geeks in love... We could be geeks in love... [Spoken] I'm not very good at being direct, so this next part's going to be in code. It's about you. I think you're such a... 01100010 01100001 01100010 01100101 And I think that we could be... 01100001 01100011 01100101 And now I wanna take you up to... 01100010 01100101 01100100 Because you drive me off the... 01100101 01100100 01100111 01100101 You finally called my number... (I knew that you read binary...) Let's go out next Friday? (Now how's your hexidecimal?) We could roll into bed with a critical threat, And confirm what's in both our hearts, But I won't go it alone, so I'll wait by the phone For Player 2 to press START. We could be geeks in love... We could be geeks in love...
