WRITER'S COMMENT: This is my first song parody in a long time, but I was pretty happy with it. It basically wrote itself, and didn't take too much time out from work I should've been doing. LOL In any case, this is yet another song for Evangelion, this time sung upbeat and cheerily, and to the tune of one of my favorite Christmas songs, The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping." And yes, I know I'm sane. Thanks.
EVANGELION: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
By Miguel A. E. Betita

(with apologies to The
Waitresses)
I came back yesterday
to town
'Cause my dad, the
Commander, had sent for me
But he couldn't even
pick me up
So he sent this chick
who looks slutty
And ridiculous, but
still, I moved in,
With a penguin that
drinks beer.
Found out my mom's a
giant robot;
What the hell is
happening here?
In Tokyo-3. They tell
me to fight,
But really, what could
I do then?
Got beat up the first
day of school
Just 'cuz I'm the
"tenkousen"
Who was simply, a bit
clumsy.
Oh my god, this new job
bites.
My dad's in love with
albino jail bait
And the new redhead is
pickin' a fight
With me, but I couldn't
care less.
She thinks she knows
everything!
Thinks she's so
cool—wait, what's that sound?
Oh—just The Phone
That Never Rings.
Then there's Angels,
18 in all,
Crashing like they own
the place.
I gotta fight them, but
I'm not too keen,
Should I go, or should
I stay?
Can't decide. Boy,
this job's rough!
The first ten seemed
like a breeze
But they got smart and
then fought back
Someone, get me outta
here, please!
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
Flashback some 15
years,
It's not your typical
fairy tale
Girl writes paper, boy
meets girl
Then asks teacher to
pay his bail
So then they build a
robot
Or biomech, call it
what you will
Mom disappears, then
the Second Impact
Headlines read,
"Billions are killed!"
Dad continues without
mom
Though things are never
the same.
He asks some lady to
build his PC
It works but it's got
parts of her brain
Back to now, another
Angel attack
Is threatening the
whole world!
We stave it off, but at
what cost?
Nuked it with albino
girl
To top it all off, the
red-head's gone,
Ran way to possibly go
crazy, too
At least we've got a
replacement
And it's another boy,
named Kaworu
Nagisa. I like that
name.
Something inside says,
I like him too!
He said he loved me,
but it was a lie;
You can't blame me
'cause he wanted to die!
"I simply want to be
alone," I said
"Need a break; this
year's been crazy."
Thought it was over,
but then soldiers came
Felt like a pawn in a
huge game.
Suddenly Red-Head's
eaten alive
And the world was
filled with white light!
Everyone is dead, now,
thanks to me
Who knew I was a symbol
of Christ?
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
Always look on! Always
look on!
Always look on the
bright side of life.
- end.
