Darwin Watterson - Books Are Violent

Copied!edit Lyrics

Gumball: Everybody read a book
Wreak havoc across the nation
Come on, just have a look
There's such violent inspiration

Colin: Lord of the Flies
Is a book each parent cherishes
The feral kids survive
But the one with glasses perishes

If you want more blood and guts
Give Shakespeare's plays a try
In Titus Andronicus
A mother gets her son served up in a pie

Banana Joe: Legends, myths and fairy tales
Will make their readers shriek and wail

Penny: "Red Riding Hood" is pretty bizarre
Where a wolf dresses up as a girl's grandma

Alan: I've read Greek myths just like you, sir
When they get beheaded like Medusa

Gumball: And I read "Tortoise and the Hare,"
A tale of torture and despair! Fight!
Tobias: If you read Dickens' Oliver Twist
You'd shut the library door and lock it!
It's all about these homeless kids
Who learn how to pickpocket!

Gumball: ★ Rapping ★ It's just words, words, words, cover to cover
Bound with a spine, word to your mother
But books are the same, every story
To...
Video games!
Gumball: ...they're just as gory

Romeo
Gumball and Penny: Oh, Romeo is your homie-o
Gumball: Romeo is your
Homie-o

Gumball: To be or not to be
That’s the question for a G
Gumball: Huck Finn's Adventures by Mark Twain
All these books are driving me insane

So who should really get the blame?
Gumball: Are books as bad as...
Video games?
