This Feels Obscene, It's an Earthquake

"This Feels Obscene, It's and Earthquake" is a song from the Every Ape and His Brother collection Morbid! The Horrendous Hobo!!!. It is a parody of Fall Out Boy's song "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race."

Overview
This song was written as a response to the popularity of that song as well as a response to the fact that the group's pronunciation of "arms race" sounds a little like "earthquake" on the radio. Instead of bemoaning the overgrowth of emo music, the parody imagines a fictitious earthquake that destroys most of California.

Verse One
There was a sleek barber, in San Diego;/ Took a break to watch the birds./

Then the clouds hit the sky/ and the/ lights went dim;/ The whole/ town fell apart;/ That's just the state that he was in…

First Chorus
It's so obscene, being in an earthquake!/ The horror being, you can feel the earth shake!/ It's so obscene, being in an earthquake!/

He died by a falling barber pole!/ It made the Press!/

Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/ Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/

Verse Two
Pipes all/ around/ the town,/ kept blowing up./ (Sewer lines are really stinking)./ The fire/ and the brimstone/ and the/ noisy chunks/ All the/ chaos and the/ fury/ and the mutter…/

At night/ was the lamenting town,/ trashed,/ so complete/ Crashing/ not the lips/ or scars/ but;/ Continental plates…/

Second Chorus
It's so obscene,/ being in an earthquake!/ This horror thing,/ you can feel/ the earth shake!/ It's so obscene,/ inside this/ slammed/ earthquake!/

Emergency rooms/ are all full;/ you're out of luck…/

Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/ Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/

Verse Three
All the toys/ inside the shop,/ the skies above!/ Everywhere there's devastation,/ and lives are snuffed;/ All the pain and horror in the/ aftermath/ about,/ all survivors/ Singing/ over their pain about and…/

Final Chorus
It's so obscene,/ being in an earthquake!/ The horror being,/ you can feel the earth shake!/ (Sing it again!)/

It's so obscene,/ inside this/ slammed/ earthquake!/ The horror being,/ that you/ feel/ the/ earth/ shake!/

(Louder!)

It's so obscene,/ being in/ an/ earthquake!/ This horror means,/ you can feel/ the/ earth/ shake!/ (Wear out the line!)

It's so obscene,/ being/ in/ an/ earthquake!/ Our horror is,/ we can feel/ the/ earth/ shake!/

Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/

Feels like the end of the world;/ It feels so evil,/ check the Richter scale;/ check that Richter scale!/
