LYRICS
When you see it’s near the end
What is the message you’ll send
Keep from loved ones your fears
While listening to Britney Spears?
What will be the message you send
Will it before the meek you defend
To whom a helping hand will you lend
Walls fall and bridges mend
Seven screaming chariots
Make sure homo sapiens share it
The trumpets of Armageddon
Drown out the moment of pop-dum

Inspired by a snake handler from India. The BBC reported:
Gowri Shankar spends his life handling snakes. Armed only with a long stick and bag he races to rescue snakes that have found their way into houses in the towns near Bangalore in Southern India. His speciality is the most feared snake of all – the King Cobra – and he almost died rescuing one.
When he was bitten, he had rescued three king cobras in one day. He didn’t have enough king cobra bags and used a regular cobra bag. The snake bit him through the bag. His friend drove him to the hospital. On the way he decided to have fun since he thought he was going to die. He didn’t want his family to know. Instead, his friend asked him if he had any last requests. Gowri asked to listen to a Britney Spears song.
