We are proud
The Northwest People
We invented microbrews
We wear SPF 3 Million
We all drive our Subarus
We like singing in the rain
We like hugging our tall trees
We're too smart for our own good
Each of us holds four degrees
We are pale
Our skin translucent
We know that the sky is gray
'Least that's what we thought before
The heavens burned for several days
Save us, Save us
Won't somebody save us from the big ball of fire in the sky?
We're all building bonfires
And researching ancient lore
There's talk of sacrifices
And drastic means obscure
It burns
It burns us
The big ball of fire in the sky
