lyrics

If you only eat 2000 calories a day
You’ll never get heart disease
If you walk 10000 steps a day
You’ll live well into your seventies
If you control all the sugar you eat
You’ll never get diabetes
Just follow health and fitness steps from me
From the time that you are a fetus

The lady from Mousercise is dead
The lady from Mousercise is dead
The lady from Mousercise is dead
She died of cancer
She died of cancer

If you spend a million dollars on cameras
And put them throughout the building
Metal detectors at every door
Fingerprints for cake delivery
If you have your kindergartener frisked
By policemen who comb the hallway
There’s definitely no way you’ll ever face
Your children hiding behind a stall bay

The children of Sandy Hook are dead
The children of Sandy Hook are dead
The children of Sandy Hook are dead
They had a state-of-the-art security system

(spoken)
As long as I follow the exact rules of life
I can make sure that nothing bad will ever happen
As long as I eat right and exercise and get straight As and go to college and get married and have babies and a 401K and make sure my kids are monitored at all times and control every single aspect of my life and everyone’s life around me, nothing can possibly surprise me and I will be able to be prepared for absolutely anything that could ever happen, 5,6,7,8!

The lady from Mousercise is dead
The children of Sandy Hook are dead
The lady from Mousercise is dead
They had a state-of-the-art security system
