When you make a discovery like this, you don't just take it to city hall, you tell the whole world. I'll say it in Latin or Klingon or smoke signals. I wanna do it right.

Six tones of granite and micaceous schist.
I'm gonna crush you, I'm gonna bust you

I'm gonna roll over you until your brains come out
And your bones will crunch and your blood will spout
I'm not just a rock baby, I'm a boulder.
Cause I'm six tones of granite and micaceous schist, yeah
Six tones of granite and micaceous schist.
