IT'S A DEUS (EX MACHINA) Lyrics by Arthur Levesque -- bs@boog.org -- http://boog.org (Approximately to the tune of "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco) Every cliffhanger Throughout the Star Trek universe It may start out interesting But the ending's worse They forget before act three Show the gun in the first So we cry: Come on, admit it, it's a deus [CHORUS] It's a deus, it's a deus, ex machina It's a deus, it's a deus, ex machina It's a deus, it's a deus, ex machina Oh, no, no, It's a deus The show's popular But that's no excuse Show us foreshadowing Stop playing fast and loose Written in the corner The Prophets use We all cry: Come on, admit it, it's a deus [CHORUS] The Dominion War A thrown-together arc They're trying something new To tell a story dark If they screw up again Stop calling me a narc If they'd set up the end You wouldn't hear us hark [CHORUS, repeat and fade]
