old recording i just found lying around, prob from around 2018

lyrics/chords

the hydra's dead, you're on deck

riff on D, A

Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A
the hydra was putting its pants on when out of the bushes came you
waving a sword and reeking of justice, your courage all shiny and new
G A Dm G (or A7?)
you cut off its head and at the after party, you said, and i quote
D E A Aaug D
the hydra is dead, the hydra is dead, and who smote it?...I smote!

the basilisk tortured the shitter, he got in the way of your mace
the big bad mermaid was dropping a deuce, when world peace smote her right in the face
for all that's holy, and quote, "good", unquote, interrupting shit left and right
you'd kill every horror we're blessed with, till there's no horror...left to smite

the horrors' numbers declined, though the census was hopelessly rigged
but eventually you'd be lucky to be surprised by a pig-looking pig
but a hero doesn't just get a day job, when all the scary things have been killed
you dig down deep and you find, where there's a way...there's a will

so grow some eyes on the back of your head or you'll soon be growing grass on your face
pick up a weapon and point it at someone, before someone else points one your way
cause the hydra is coming, the basilisk too, the big bad mermaid, the whole damn zoo
don't be fooled if they look like you...
