M.C. Frontalot - Disaster [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Set up the mics, turn up the volume

Everybody present, say "here" when I call you:

Schaffer? Yep. Beef? Hello

Bought three movie tickets, got the front row

Act I. Our plucky hero's home town:

Middle Americana, not a problem to be found

A single dad of one son with a dog just trying his

Best to make ends meet as a disaster scientist

One day he stumbles upon some horrifying evidence

Our hero decides, "I must inform the president."

"Even though you seem to know exactly what you talk about

I don't think at this point in the plot I am going to hear you out

But Washington's in fallout, can't return to my home

There's flash floods, earthquakes. I pick up the red phone

You get this ragtag team made of washed out marines

And Dr. Jennie Marie, she studies weather extremes



It's a disaster, it's a disaster

Whenever you've got three nerd rappers



Act II. Molten lava is chasing them around

Big blue bolts of lightning spring up from underground

But our hero and his team have some hope for a cure:

"If we can just get this crew into the center of the earth

We can install a nuclear device then detonate it

My findings indicate that this will stave off devastation."

"I might have given in to my pride (that is my sin)

But take this check and shake my hand, cause you always trust a Whitesican."

"Sir, you won't regret it. Launch your finest satellite

Arm it with a laser canon aimed upon the blast site

To activate the nuke. But the clock is counting down

We need to act fast as our time is running out."

Meanwhile: hurricanes, tidal waves, floods

Sun flares cause it to seem to rain blood

The President just got crushed by an asteroid

And the plucky hero's son? "Run faster, boy!"



Last Act. Son makes it, dog doesn't

Odds may be stacked against the team. They discuss it

A last ditch effort hangs heavy on our hero's mind:

"Blowing up the planet is the only hope for humankind."

And to his leading lady, "There is something I must say..."

"Hey, you and me can wait, I want to have another yesterday

Sources say the Kremlin can take us into orbit

Go to space, fix the lasers. And the earth: we can restore it."

"That's it! A crazy plan, but we have to try

The time is nigh, gather up supplies, we must survive!"

They head out for Russia in a little rowboat

Get menaced by glaciers, almost bite it but don't

At the last moment a decision to be made:

There's the love or the boy, only one can get saved

If he thinks too long, whole globe is in peril

If you don't shed a tear at the end your heart's sterile
