Scales and exoskeletons? Why, they pale in comparison

     Em                         B              
To a body that is covered up by skin

       C              Eb5              G         D/F#             E7
We get rid of those antennae, give you hair, and clothes and then I

N.C.                    Am7                      D   Dsus4 D
Add two eyes and a nose and my boy, that is only the beginning

     Em                                             Eb5 Em
Hmmmm... What are you saying? You become a Starship Ranger? Me, but-?

Em
Now listen to me, my confused little friend. We are friends, after all. 

Em                     Eb5   Em
I used to have my fair share of doubts and fears and well, 

Em
They quite literally almost ate me alive. But no! I took charge! 

Em                       Eb5   Em
I pushed it to the limit!      So you gotta be strong. Be tough! 

Em                                    Eb5   Em
To coin a phrase, be a man. Ahahaha!
[Verse 1] Pincer:
          Em           B 
You gotta kick it up a notch

          C                     A
If you’re ever gonna reach your goal

          Em             B 
You can’t sit around and watch

     C                     A
Your destiny is in your control

              Em              B 
Go ahead and,    kick it up a notch

        C                      A
If your life is at a level too low

           Em                    B 
There’s no attempt, that you can botch

                   C                    A
When all you gotta do is just give it a go

         C                B 
But then again, what do I know?
[Chorus]
       Em
What I see right there

Em                                           Eb5 
It would, wouldn't it? A bug in a human body.        

                                  Em
You could be the link between our race and theirs.

Em
Well, do I even have what it takes- Shh...

You wanna have the things they got?

         C                      A

Em           B7 
Kick it up a notch

           C                          A7
What’s the point of less when there’s more?

Have a cigar a glass of Scotch

          C                     A7
When opportunity knocks on your door

            C                         B7 
You let him in and then ya settle the score!
[Chorus]
Em   
Life is short

   B7 
So before it’s over

C7                         A7
Take a chance and think it through

           C7         
You better kick it up a notch

It’s the human thing to do.

F5                   Gb5/E                 
   Or you could take everything you've ever wanted.
