For all those extreme serious total mega hard-core Incubus fans out there. (Like me. It is THE greatest band):

REDEFINE
Imagine your brain as a military machine, yeah,
now think of your body as the tool for a killer's deed.
Fuse the two; KAPOW! What are you now?
You're the human little doctor! Won't you please go kill the Queen?
It's in your nature, you can fight your violent-self all you like,
no matter what us teachers tell you kids is good and right,
So kill, and save this 3rd rock from the sun,
by burning myriads of buggers
With our cool oversized gun! Go!

Ender:
But I'm sick of living in black and white!
My mind is tired, and I'm uptight.
So sick of ruining myself to fit your definition!

Teachers:
Picture the scene, where whatever you loved
would, in the blink of an eye,
fall apart and become all lost and dead.
You'd be sure, boy, that every life gone
reflected your selfish life loved,
and the plan to save that you hated.
So, must we demonstrate the need to get this straight?
We've painted a picture, now we're drowning in paint.
So lets figure out what beating Bugs is about
Before the Hive Queen we hated
chews us up and spits us out!

Ender:
I'm sick of living in black and white!
My brain is dry, and I'm uptight
I can't keep ruining myself to fit your definition.
Redefine

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How my enemies could never best me.
And I knew if I watched the vids,
I'd conquor armies with my kids,
And, maybe, they'd no longer test me.
But the showers made me shiver,
With every blow that I'd deliver.
Bonzo tried to kill me,
But died and no one told me.
I can't remember if I cried
When I went to earth to try to hide,
But my duty touched me deep inside
The day my childhood died.

So bye, bye my old school in the sky,
Left the shuttle in a muddle
With no one on whom to rely.
And I learned my skills from that Mazer guy,
Thinkin', "If I don't my sister Val will die."
"If I don't my sister Val will die."

Now for 3 months I was on my own,
As my skills I began to hone,
No one but Mazer to see.
'Til one day I heard Soup and Bean,
Petra, Crazy Tom, and even Dean:
They'd restored my jeesh to me.
So we buckled down and began to train,
Despite lack of sleep and gnawing pain.
So many wins were scored -
No losses could we afford.
But I began to really hate,
The battles that we'd simulate.
And I grew tired and fell insensate
The day my childhood died.

So bye, bye my old school in the sky,
Left the shuttle in a muddle
With no one on whom to rely.
And I learned my skills from that Mazer guy,
Thinkin', "If I don't my sister Val will die."
"If I don't my sister Val will die."

[Cool] [Hat]

Only one problem. Now I have the original of that song stuck in my head.

I may have to hurt you. Nothing personal, you understand.

I can get it out of your head . . .

Everybody sing!

Whooooooooooo lives in an astroid way out in space?
EN-DER WIGG-IN!
Who'll save the butts of the whole human race?
EN-DER WIGG-IN!
If wiping out buggers is something you need . . .
EN-DER WIGG-IN!
Then give him an ansible! He'll do the deed!
EN-DER WIGG-IN!
EN-DER WIGG-IN!
EN-DERRRRR WIGG-IIIIIIIN!

Sung from the point of view of Ender's commanders:

You are eleven, going on twelve
looking for wars to wage
thinking it's all
just some trite game
even when your hand bleeds.

You are soon to be
older and enlightened
when you deploy their dooooo-ooommm . . .

We are just a few years older
We wi-iii--lll
all
fooolllooooowwwwwooooohhhhh
youuuuuuuuu.
