We sororal band hereby form the nation of St. Agnes Singing loud and clear of the bond that ties us Here we make our stand searching out into our field of view For somebody to recognize us We’ve an anthem now, and a banner waving high and free Made with all the paint that a dollar buys us All we need somehow to legitimize our sovereign rule Is somebody who’ll recognize us We were lost and scared, holding out against the cold and hunger Looking far and wide for someone to prize us Now we sit here spared, praying into a familial night That somebody might recognize us

We are one and all the same We're not pawns in someone else's game We're not crippled by no state No suffocating under fat cats' weight Oitopia We're punk rockers on the run We pledge all our allegiance to our guitars and our drums Oitopia We don't need no queen or king You can hear all of our righteousness in the music that we bring Oitopia We ain't lookin' for a fight We are all of the same mind and we are all of the same stripe Oitopia We don't need no queen or king You can hear all of our righteousness in the music that we bring

The honored anthem of Latveria, approved by it's esteemed enforced monarch, Victor von Doom. Doom is the arch enemy of Reed Richards, Head of the legendary Fantastic Four. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latveria Hail! Hail! Latveria! Nestled on the Balkan shore Genius leader plots our destiny We are Doom forevermore! From the fields of wheat we harvest Or the death rays we build with care Eve'rything we do for his glory His loving wrath we must beware! Richards must die Richards must die Richards must die All Hail Doom! There is nothing that we lack Save for freedom, food and joy We happily all serve his will And the tortures he employs From the death traps we build in the south To the warheads of the west We are instruments of his vengeance We shall conquer every test! Richards must die Richards must die Poke him in the eye How tough could it be To stop a rubber cement guy? We'll make those four freaks Break down and cry All Hail Doom! Hail Doom!

Jacob bless this mighty earth we have been given Rejoice! For glory brought us our homeland With all the beauty in our forests, hills, and mountains Rejoice! For our surroundings, bold and grand From the Oceans to the Cliffside From the Mesa to the caves For we’re proud our nation’s steeped in mystic history Land that we love, the Island always saves Sing praise to the Heart of the Island The source of electromagnetic pull Healing powers so sublime and traveling through time While always keeping us invisible From the Coastline to the Black Rock To the Jungle where the Monster seems to roam Though everything seems to be a mystery No matter what, the Island is my home We pledge our souls to all that came before us Who fought for freedom on our Motherland Praise to Desmond, Kate and Jack, who killed the Man In Black So we could settle on this splendorous sand From the North Point to the Hydra From the Temple down to the catacombs Though everything seems to be a mystery No matter what, the Island is my home

Our government is lenient Our king is generous and kind Plank in the sun or the starlight Plank no matter if day or night The best planking country of all time Our flag planks true and bold A wonder to behold Our flag planks in our hearts A wonderous land! Oh, Plankistan! A wonderous land! Oh, Plankistan! A wonderous land! Oh, Plankistan!

I’ve made a jug of cocktails there’s plenty to go round It’s a carnival of beverages All across the town Alcoholia! Nation of the brave Alcoholia! Too drunk to become slaves Wine, rum, beer and cognac We’ll fire back the lot Though we may have a heart attack We're happy with what we’ve got

I traipse down the yellow brick road of my mind Wondering if and how I’ll finally find Some place where the stars are all aligned But when I come back to the real world I know I’ll just leave it behind In this world I’d hold you close to me Everything arranged just perfectly Purple skies ahead and scarlet seas But it was never meant to be If I pretend that it is real Will it become solid enough to feel If I pretend that it is right Will it appear before my sight Will it last me through the night I know it can’t be real; it’s all in my head Just a thought that managed to embed Itself in my mind when I’m dreaming in my bed And it will unravel with the pull of a thread But I’ll hoist my flag and I’ll fly it proud And I sing my anthem strong and loud I pretend there’s a massive cheering crowd Cause when I go to the country of the sun I escape all the real-world clouds If I pretend that it is real Will it become solid enough to feel If I pretend that it is right Will it appear before my sight Will it last me through the night

The battle hymn of Kron lessons learned hard and magic learned by Mages even harder The mystics of Kron welcome you to the even lower worlds where blues yeowling meets fantasy style creatures The blinding mages of Hopscotch Hill and some kind of fiery mountain and some kind of fiery sword and some kind of riding horse

From the highs of Ones to the lows of Aughts We dig it all in Digitalistan On Green Dolphin Street We organize Bloops and Bleeps Into the soundtrack of Digitalistan We were victorious against Analogoria with no loss of resolution Their magnetic charges were not at all that harmful We were lossless binary: 01100100-01101001-01100111 01101001-01110100-01100001 01101100 Our hearts are organized in tiny rows we march in code in Digitalistan from the transistor shores to the halls of great code in Digitalistan we are fast and accurate our simplicity is our genius we develop random features that spread throughout the land we have duality and individuality flourishing throughout the land ...until we see the blue screen

When you gaze across the canyons you'll know you are home. In the nation the Crotons founded where the buffalo used to roam. Some may call it a barren dessert, but we call it a clean slate. Earth's ugly green mistakes erased irradiated! This land is your land but we're still the landlords. Our soldiers wear the color of gray to match the eyes of our leader many lightyears away. He stands watching over the nations he claimed, in badges of honor from the planets he's maimed. Croton Alley! The flag flies high! Vapor trails in the sky. Croton Alley Croton Alley. The flag flies high. Your country keeps you safe, try to leave and you'll die. This land is your land human friend, just keep on your tracking device and don't be late for your DNA blend. We'll make a patriot out of you yet. Doesn't matter how high your shock collar is set. Always remember that the country you live in stands for what's right. We fought bravely for our freedom to exercise our might. With plasma cannons a conquest only takes one night. Don't ask what you're building, it's a--community project. You know, for fun! Let's say it's a... huge... telescope. Not some... massive world destroying gun. Just remember to be proud of your heritage and sing the anthem when you feel like you're the one who can stand up to the Croton army (ha!) One nation united in the palm of the leader's hand. Croton Alley! The flag flies high! Vapor trails in the sky. Croton Alley Croton Alley. The flag flies high. Your country keeps you safe, try to leave and you'll die. This land is your land human scum--I mean chum! Take pride in your duty, keep in time with the drum. We'll make a happy citizen out of you soon. Would you rather spend another week with the others on the moon?

Zamunda we pledge our lives We give our love to you Our loyalty and our honesty To the land where our dreams will come true Zamunda my home sweet home I pledge my faith to you And though it's true that we are through As I go to the states with Akeem Zamunda the land of men Where no queen can be found And though we leave, we will not believe That our land will remain with no queen

Down the shore for a visit revolution, warfare...is it...so ordinary you can't stay? The silver mines are humming corruption, wealth...are you coming? and won't you stay? Costaguana...all the coins are moving Nostromos, shipmate, our man wealthy, respect, and command...How long will you stay? Lost my mind, on the island stuck to the bottom of the sea But nevermind, Costaguana just...wasn't for me You on the other hand should come You should stay forever

Terra / Hail to Terra Beware our Empire's throes Terra / Hail to Terra We will crush those who oppose From the first invaders to our planet to the last to fight Terrans are proud– if you cross us, you'll be fought on sight Terra / Hail to Terra The Alpha quadrant’s jewel Terra / Hail to Terra We will not stand down, we’ll duel Hail the Terran Emperor, show your devotion Killing's not just a way of life, it's a means of promotion Somewhere out there is Utopia and virtue And then when we find it we’ll be sure to exploit it, too Terra / Hail to Terra Our men are God’s gift Terra /Hail to Terra Where women bear midriffs Take pride in taking what we need, conquer other worlds Today the alpha quadrant, tomorrow the mirror universe Terra / Hail to Terrra Conquering all that we see Terra / Hail to Terrra Better than being free is to be mighty

Nos vivimos en un otro mundo Donde hay mucho dificultad Pero nos cantamos cada Segundo No va estar una abandonad Una isla de traficantes Y la carcel de Peña Dura Con las olas vivificantes Por eso la nos adora Nos cantamos por santa prisca Por la lluvia de humo Por los ritmos y los tambores No camtamos pa’ estar chusca Vamos con Santa Prisca La mas bella del mundo We live in another world. Where there is much difficulty. But we sing every second We will not abandon our land. An Island of drug trafficking, And the prison names Peña Dura. The vivid and revitalizing waves, This is why we adore you. We sing for Santa Prisca. For the smoke filled rain For the rhythms and beats We sing to be merry. Lets go with Santa Prisca, Because she is the most beautiful.

O Hail To You, Fido-nia A land of comfort and ease From your collar to tail-bone-ia The Homeland of the Fleas Your rolling hills So muscular Are to us heaven-sent We drink our fill Corpuscular From your flowing nourishment O Hail To You, Fido-nia! O Hail To You, Fido-nia! O Hail To You, Fido-nia! Your luscious coat, preeminent With never mange or thatch Your tolerance, magnificent You never roll or scratch O Fido, fair Beneath your hair We live our lives in peace And sing to you, Fido-nia The Homeland of the Fleas We sing to you, Fido-nia The Homeland of the Fleas!
