WOE.BEGONE

The Ballad Of Season 20

Season 20

The storm was brewing

Matt got into jazz

The world lost all the sense it ever had

An iteration

Gave them advice

They found themselves on the road at night


And it’s not that hard

To find an orb

When it’s floating feet above the water

And it’s not that smart

To drive you car

Right up to the bank of the river

Keep off of the grass


Mikey and Michael

Beefed it with norm

Stinky and Bradford have questions for them

Michael is missing

He up and disappeared

Mike’s Operose will take it from here


And it’s not that hard

To twist an arm

When it’s attached to you into the future

So Michael works

For Mike, that jerk

He and the Elements will start to lay the groundwork

So keep off of the grass


Boris pulls up

He saves the Matt Pack

He drives them through the storm all the way back

But someone broke in

A corpse was left behind

The clues that are on him swirl in their minds


And it’s not that hard

To find where to start

When you see yourself in a picture as a stranger

So they book a flight

Get there over night

To see what it is about is Oldbrush Valley

Better keep off of the grass


Now at the Ice Lair

Michael’s upset

The Elements are the worst help he could get

And there’s a mission

Mike wants him to log

In the Fire Future with MDawg


And it’s not that hard

To lose your spark

When you get abandoned inside a strange future

Michael tries to hide

But Fox finds him inside

Bluster’s stable and they go to fight the fire

Better keep off of the grass


In Oldbrush Valley

Matt greets Python

He shows them a corpse like the one back home

Before they are ready

He transports them off

It’s all according to a plan that they know nothing of


And it’s not that hard

In Bluster’s Grove

When the Matt Pack suddenly lands into your lap

Lieutenant wins

At chess again (metaphorically)

And MW goes to see Tex

So you better keep off of the grass


Tex is working

Scouting on his own

He killed Gallium when Gallium got close

He located Michael and

Stuffed him in a vat

He’s gonna use him to figure out what Mike has


And it’s not that hard

To find the start

When you consolidate Michael to get the info

But MW steps up

He’s the lucky one

Now he and Michael are finally together

They’re gonna keep off of the grass


The Matt Pack’s home 

They need their rest but

Who shows up next they could never guess

An iteration with a 

Flower tattoo

He looks like Matt and he says

That they’re in a correction too


And it’s not that hard

To leave a mark

When you’ve got the culprit tied in your room

Matt burns his neck

But does not expect

That the future Python shows no effect

Keep off of the grass


Rubi and Cae

Work without a plan until

The Ice Lair sends Cae to a distant land

When he returns

He has terrible news

All of them are in a continuous correction too


And mike takes it hard

His mind is scarred

Because something has gone wrong with Edgar

But now he has a tool

To use against Lieutenant too

He’ll get a seat at the table or deploy the weapon

Better keep off of the grass


Magnolia steps in

You know they know the score

The Field Of Flowers weighs in on the war

The Matt Pack can stop this

Gotta get to the device

But you know saving the world comes at a price


And it’s not that hard

To shut the door

When MW helps from the inside 

Matt gets erased

It is no mistake and

Boris tries to hold onto memories

While he keeps off of the grass


Mike can’t remember

But Cae surely can

They’re reunited by the Punks in Troy’s mansion

Eagle and Lieutenant

Have started moving in

But The Hutch puts an end to Operose again


Cause it’s not that hard

For Stinky to outsmart

Those meanies who want to run the world

TryLeg pulls some strings

And the compound brings

All their iterations of Mike into battle

You know they keep off of the grass


So what is next now

That everyone knows

Everything that they have tried to hide?

Will it make them stronger

To remember it all

Or it will it cause them to fall apart 

Right in front of our eyes


And it’s not that hard

To make a fresh start

Just as long we’re all on the same pages

But I'm sure what’s next

Will need addressed

And I hope they stay united through the ages  

And keep off of the grass
