Heya Tom, it's Bob, from the office down the hall

Good to see you buddy, how've you been?

Thing have been okay for me except that I'm a zombie now

I really wish you'd let us in

I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand

Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand

But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise

If you open up the door

We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?

Maybe that's okay for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns

And then you'll have to make the call

I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough

You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff

But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise

If you open up the doors

We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can

I sure appreciate the way you're working with me

I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am

I guess I am

I've got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up

Know we'll get to common ground somehow

Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors

I guess we'll table this for now

I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well

Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell

And we'll put this thing to bed

When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise

If you open up the door

We'll all come inside and eat your brains
