The Lyrics

You ever seen a cartoon or a sitcom where someone tries a sleep-learning tape but gets it mixed up with something else and learns an entirely useless skill-set? Funny thing about that...
It's clear that it's bogus, man, don't be thick
If it seems too good to be true, it's best to assume it is
I won't pay one damn cent for it
You wanna waste cash? Better waste your own
Because you will find you are a dunce
You can go to sleep but you'll wake up dumb

Hard to believe you bought into that junk, junk, junk
'Cause you cannot learn overnight, learn overnight
The whole damn enterprise has been debunk-bunk-bunked
No, you cannot learn overnight, learn overnight
Just isn't possible, possible, possible now, now, now, now, will want refunds quickly
Shock: lots of things they say in an advert aren't quite what they seem

No matter what the cartoons say
Leavin' those tapes on just won't improve your brain
You've been suckered in, it's true ('fraid it's true)
Only bright side, you know, is the fact that you don't have any cash to blow
Not gonna loan my wallet because
It will never be worth the payment they want

I'm not surprised that you'd be such a putz, putz, putz
To think you can learn overnight, learn overnight
Got x-ray glasses right beside your bunk, bunk, bunk
But you still can't learn overnight, learn overnight
Simply not possible, possible, possible now, now, now, now, pretty easy to see
Stop bein' thick 'cause it's not gonna work, don't buy it, you dweeb

Yes, I know that I've got just one point on repeat
But only, only, only 'cause it's all I need
No complexities you need refreshers on, see
It's somethin' not worth crap for an exorbitant fee
The function, the function is based on a lie
Your alpha waves are reduced at night
When you're asleep, can't you see? Why can't you, why can't you see?
When you're asleep, yeah-eah-eah

When asleep, yeah-eah, it can't recall shit (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Won't break through dreams, yeah-eah (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Said it ain't possible, possible, possible now, now, now, now, so just let go of me (not gonna work)
There's not a thing you can say that will work, my mind's made up, see (I won't turn around on this, please)
Possible, possible now, now, now, now? I don't believe that that could be real likely (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Possible now, possible now, now, now? I don't believe that that could be real likely (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Just isn't possible, possible, possible now, now, now, now, this will be on repeat, be on repeat
Possible, possible, possible now, now, now, now? Hell no, please just agree, please just agree

Based on fake science (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Proven to be, yeah-eah (learn overnight, learn overnight)
A scam by jerks (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Man, don't fall for nonsense (learn overnight, learn overnight)
Learn to study, yeah-eah (learn overnight, learn overnight)

"I'm talking about playing your self-hypnosis tapes all through the night. "Learn Esperanto While You Sleep". "Learn Quantum Theory While You Sleep"."
"Oh come on, we both got the same benefit."
"Yeah. Neither of us got any sleep."
