Time Machine Lyrics

If you had a time machine, what would you do?

You could travel through space and time, doing anything you wanted to?

Would you buy bitcoin in 2010

Would you find hitler and shoot him in the head?

Would you kill yourself as a kid

Just to see what would happen?

Would you get a CT scan in 2023 instead

To catch your tumor well before it spread?

How about winning the lottery?

Accumulating loads of property?

No there's one thing that's mandatory

The absolutely highest priority

I would kill Benjamin Franklin

Get extra hour to sleep in

I'd hang him from a clothesline

To destroy daylight savings time

I would kill Benjamin Franklin

Get extra hour to sleep in

I'd hang him from a clothesline

To destroy daylight savings time

So you've killed poor old Benny boi

Whats next for you?

Gonna make like lupin

And rob the Louvre?

Maybe go and save Franz Ferdinand

Or tell all book publishers to reject ayn rand

Go collect some dinosaur DNA

Make an omelette with some pterodactyl egg

No I feel the spark in my veins

Ive got to visit my boi Benny again

Gotta stop him from getting electricity —-wrong

Make sure he labels positive on electrons

He got it backwards and ruined my life

He'll learn his lesson with my kitchen knife

Gotta stop him from getting electricity —-wrong

Make sure he labels negative on protons

He got it backwards and ruined my life

I'll permanently stop him from cheating on his wife

Yes I know Benjamin Franklin

Did not invent daylight savings

It was actually George Hudson

But that's not as funny for the joke

I wouldn't kill Benjamin Franklin

Just have a nice conversation

About the nature of electricity

And modern political reality

I wouldn't kill Benjamin Franklin

Have him change the constitution

Let him test his lightning rod

At the constitutional convention
