Hes a No Exit G in the place to be,
He goes to Stanford University.
And since Kindergarten he acquired knowledge,
And after twelve grade he went straight to college.
Well Toms a pop culture primate with the IQ of a fetus,
Social IQ twenty-five; you know that I mean this.
Between his DVDs clogged arteries and MP3s,
Hes got this antisocial mental brain disease.
And I want to break him out, want to show him the world.
Want to get him blazed, want to get him a girl.
Want to take him camping down in Ventana.
Want to enlighten him, like the Dalai Llama.
Hed otherwise never known the beauty to be seen
Beyond his flat-panel PC LCD screen.
But would he care if I took him by the hand,
Planned on a trip to Brain-Expansion Land?
I don't mean to be a pushy REI creep,
But you'll thank me when you're chilling six feet deep
And the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
And the worms play PS2 on your snout.
No doubt, what Im about is helping you,
And were picking up more people as we go,
Introverted sad humans, no internal glow.
Weve got to keep driving, cars out of our way!
Ive got nascent cargo here on lifes highway.
As precious as small birds straight out the shell,
Check the chorus, the metaphor explains itself well.
CHORUS
Make way for ducklings,
Make way for these introverted ducklings.
Make way for ducklings;
Soon they'll be existentialist heroes.
Okay quiz time now that our trip is done,
You all grew socially, learned and had fun. Question one,
Youre in class with a hottie named Sue,
And one day she walks in and sits next to you.
Her shirt says the Sopranos, and you dig that show,
There might be a connection between you two, so,
Do you (A) say, Hey, I like your shirt,
(B) look away, outside at the dirt,
(D) make a joke about HBOs
Popular, uncensored mafia shows,
And catch Sues attention with your cultured wit,
Working it like Matt Groening works it.
Well the answer is (D), obviously,
Negative points if you said (B) or (C).
Next question, Lets say you're a dad with two small kids,
And you're chilling on vacation like your own family did.
And you go to Boston, because it's fun,
And you go to the park and walk or run.
And then you see some birds, walking past,
Not too slow or not too fast.
Do you (A) say, Kids! Check it out,
These birds are mobile, without a doubt,
Or (B) say nothing and be like, Whatever,
Ive seen cooked birds that look better,
Or (C) toss the birds some candy or fish,
Well the answer is (D), and (D) is this:
CHORUS
Make way for ducklings,
Make way for those migrating ducklings.
Make way for ducklings;
Because now you're an existentialist hero.
Shout outs to Tomohawk,
Shout outs to the Moonies.
Truck Records is in effect.
Shout outs to you,
Thank you for listening to this song.
Andrew Robert Nielsen, known professionally as MC Lars, is an American rapper, producer, educator, and founder of Horris Records. A graduate of Stanford University and the University of Oxford, he has been described as a pioneer of "lit-hop", a genre blending hip-hop with themes from classical and American literature. In a 2003 song, he used the term "iGeneration", which ASCAP credited as an early instance of the term. He has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall and multiple TEDx events. His work frequently references authors like William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville, and he is considered a key figure in the early nerdcore movement.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
