Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World Lyrics
Is the last hope the world has, yeah, yeah
His thoughts go deeper than ever, yeah, yeah
The biggest light switch gets turned on yeah, yeah
He saves the day and the world knows, the sonic boom explodes
It's hard to celebrate with a headache oh yeah, yeah
And he saves the day and the world knows. Now watch his head explode
The poet/song writer creates something beautiful but the reason for his creativity is his headache or heartache - isn't it an old story? So we enjoy the the masterpiece and praise him, but this will not ease the poet's suffering. Wayne as always is making a joke about himself.
Outlandish take on the tale of the tragic hero. Some wonderful music here.
I agree, and not only because I am suffering from a wicked headache today. Love the band. And really like this song.

"the boy wonder saves the planet, but destroys his ever-enlarging brain in the process. goodbye, everybody have a happy life it looks like brighter days are ahead for the whole planet there it goes"
They have the fucking longest song titles I've ever seen! This song is really cool sounding. Meaning-fuck if I know!
Well, literally it's exactly what the title implies, some guy gets a massive headache and this accelerates his thinking somehow. Then he gets the Nobel Prize for his efforts, but really can't be that thrilled about it because his head still really hurts. Maybe they're saying that personal pain can lead to someone doing something for the greater good, but whatever reward they get for it, they're still going to end up pretty miserable?
Bingo. You just articulated the meaning and secret behind why sacrifice exists. If you do what you love, you replace that love equally. If you do something you hate FOR something you love, you must incur pain but it makes just as prominent a change of love for those around you. Karma is split between two: others, and you. This is someone who basically had to take the pain of bad karma in order to fix the world, and then only then could he achieve himself.

Yeah, Ive thought about it a lot more lately and arrived more or less at the same conclusions. It is hard to celebrate with a headache!
On the Fearless Freaks DVD they show Wayne recording the voice-over thing at the end part of the song, and it's actually longer and he goes into saying that "This has been an advertisement for such-and-such aspirin, the aspirin that's more effective than..." whatever, something like that. Like the whole fantastic story was just made up to sell something. I like that idea. But I guess cutting it out made the song seem more positive, like some weird local news "and now..." piece.
