Fiddle Riddle Lyrics
Once stood a man on my face
Ooh yeah, on my face
Gobbled him up 'cause my taste
Leaves nothing to waste
Hear the riddle that I say
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me
Piano it marks the good pace
Ooh yeah, the good pace
Don't know if it's right, but I like the bass
So turn up the bass
Hear the fiddles as they play
Hear the fiddles as they play
What is fair is fair
And the guitar player
No metal, no brick, was no trace
Oh, no, was no trace
But machines moved on and still chased
No particular place
Hear the riddle that I say
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me.
Ooh yeah, on my face
Gobbled him up 'cause my taste
Leaves nothing to waste
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me
Ooh yeah, the good pace
Don't know if it's right, but I like the bass
So turn up the bass
Hear the fiddles as they play
What is fair is fair
And the guitar player
Oh, no, was no trace
But machines moved on and still chased
No particular place
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me
That is fair and square to me.

It's a story told from Planet Earth's point of view. Even though the planet sort of shrugs off people - gobbles them up so to speak - the machines live on without humans. Standard sci fi theme, told from a cool perspective.
I think you're right there, Hawkeye. I love that last verse, how machines live on even though the humans have gone.
