about

This track is a tribute to the greatest ALT to ever walk the halls of a Japanese junior high school.

lyrics

This is the Ballad of Alan Jaye
the greatest man to ever ALT
his father was a former President
but Alan knew that life was not for him

Six wolves escaped from a local zoo
they circled round Alan's class room
broke through the windows and attacked his kids
he killed them with a plastic trash can lid

This is the Story of Alan Jaye’s
asbestos shirt that he wore every day
When the Big One hit on March 11
he pulled three children from a burning building

Four nuns escaped from a private school
they snuck into Alan's class room
messed up his papers and distracted his kids
he beat them up with that trash can lid.

Beware of face melting guitar riffs. ... more
