The Ballad Of Season 20

3/29/2026
The storm was brewing Matt got into jazz The world lost all the sense it ever had An iteration Gave them advice They found themselves on the road at night And it’s not that hard To find an orb When it’s floating feet above the water And it’s not that smart To drive you car Right up to the bank of the river Keep off of the grass Mikey and Michael Beefed it with norm Stinky and Bradford have questions for them Michael is missing He up and disappeared Mike’s Operose will take it from here And it’s not that hard To twist an arm When it’s attached to you into the future So Michael works For Mike, that jerk He and the Elements will start to lay the groundwork So keep off of the grass Boris pulls up He saves the Matt Pack He drives them through the storm all the way back But someone broke in A corpse was left behind The clues that are on him swirl in their minds And it’s not that hard To find where to start When you see yourself in a picture as a stranger So they book a flight Get there over night To see what it is about is Oldbrush Valley Better keep off of the grass Now at the Ice Lair Michael’s upset The Elements are the worst help he could get And there’s a mission Mike wants him to log In the Fire Future with MDawg And it’s not that hard To lose your spark When you get abandoned inside a strange future Michael tries to hide But Fox finds him inside Bluster’s stable and they go to fight the fire Better keep off of the grass In Oldbrush Valley Matt greets Python He shows them a corpse like the one back home Before they are ready He transports them off It’s all according to a plan that they know nothing of And it’s not that hard In Bluster’s Grove When the Matt Pack suddenly lands into your lap Lieutenant wins At chess again (metaphorically) And MW goes to see Tex So you better keep off of the grass Tex is working Scouting on his own He killed Gallium when Gallium got close He located Michael and Stuffed him in a vat He’s gonna use him to figure out what Mike has And it’s not that hard To find the start When you consolidate Michael to get the info But MW steps up He’s the lucky one Now he and Michael are finally together They’re gonna keep off of the grass The Matt Pack’s home They need their rest but Who shows up next they could never guess An iteration with a Flower tattoo He looks like Matt and he says That they’re in a correction too And it’s not that hard To leave a mark When you’ve got the culprit tied in your room Matt burns his neck But does not expect That the future Python shows no effect Keep off of the grass Rubi and Cae Work without a plan until The Ice Lair sends Cae to a distant land When he returns He has terrible news All of them are in a continuous correction too And mike takes it hard His mind is scarred Because something has gone wrong with Edgar But now he has a tool To use against Lieutenant too He’ll get a seat at the table or deploy the weapon Better keep off of the grass Magnolia steps in You know they know the score The Field Of Flowers weighs in on the war The Matt Pack can stop this Gotta get to the device But you know saving the world comes at a price And it’s not that hard To shut the door When MW helps from the inside Matt gets erased It is no mistake and Boris tries to hold onto memories While he keeps off of the grass Mike can’t remember But Cae surely can They’re reunited by the Punks in Troy’s mansion Eagle and Lieutenant Have started moving in But The Hutch puts an end to Operose again Cause it’s not that hard For Stinky to outsmart Those meanies who want to run the world TryLeg pulls some strings And the compound brings All their iterations of Mike into battle You know they keep off of the grass So what is next now That everyone knows Everything that they have tried to hide? Will it make them stronger To remember it all Or it will it cause them to fall...

The Ballad of Season 19

12/23/2025
LYRICS: Well Edgar is dead there is nothing to say Nothing Mike can do will make it okay There’s nothing to do to return him to form Better to stay home and hang out with Norm Mike kills a spider inside of his house He carries it with him whenever he’s out Michael thinks he’d do better out of the home So Mike goes to Texas, down to bluster’s grove Tex has an idea of what’s going on He sends Mike to Yellowknife to live on a farm The Yellowknife folks don’t like Mike's plan So they break his calculator, no more numbers, man Mike escapes back to Bluster’s Grove He’s been living as stock with the numbers alone The lost year is gone, it’s burned in the past Tex pushed mike right into a vat It’s better to let these things go But mike can’t keep well enough alone There’s talks at the tavern of a rerack today But Tex gets dethroned and Mike is set free A is in charge, he’s cracking the whip Outlaw and Bluster are now wanted men Mike is retired after such a long trip He piles up the past to try and get over it Base is continuing correcting the time Mike sleeps through a conference and steps on a spider Meanwhile Al is the king of the crabs He puts down a mutiny with a wave of his hands Lieutenant swears revenge and you know that he’ll get it Operose will be back if Mike will just let it Ty visits Mike to make a house call Acting like he doesn’t want anything at all He makes Mike promise he won’t do something drastic Mike tells Ty he can kiss his asscheek It’s better to let these things go But mike can’t keep well enough alone Mike starts to blink when he’s at the compound Destabilized timelines are going around And Norm gets too close to remain in the fold Bradford and Stinky take over his home Stinky plays dumb, Mike blinks out Mike is getting desperate for help right now He begs Michael for guidance, Michael says yep He proves Mike will become him, cuts off his fingertip Edgar blinks out inside a correction He cannot avoid Operose’s detection Everyone is trying to remember him alive But Mike is determined he will never die Lieutenant’s set free, he sends Al to Ty Al sends Mike to yellowknife and then al’s sent to die Lieutenant kills A and frees Tex from the vats He sends Edman to Yellowknife where Mike is at It’s better to let these things go But mike can’t keep well enough alone Bradford sends Mike to Norm, he don’t remember a thing Mike transports in the room and ruins everything He meets the cured Edgar and chooses to save him The iteration storm stars, cue the mayhem But what about the lost year, that voice that we heard? Is it fated to stay buried in the dirt? Now that Mike initiated the storm What will become of the Mikes that are born? Is Operose now a foregone conclusion That Mike founded it to keep Edgar elusive And maybe the most important question of all Will the Matt Pack get screentime in this season at all? It’s better to let these things go But mike can’t keep well enough alone Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
