Brainville
Wayne's quote from Staring At Sound:
"I imagined these guys who put fliers up all over town saying, 'Brainville University, Tuition One Dollar' and listing this back alley as the address, and then they beat up and rob anybody dumb enough to show up."

I've heard about a place
Where they enlarge yer space
Take pity on the small ones
Don't cost ya very much
They seem to know their stuff
Take pity on the small ones
And I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And overcome my inexperience
I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And be the first one on my block that does
They say it's the one thing
everyone should have
I know it must look bad
Don't know I need the help
They'd take me I can tell
For fingers and a toenail
And I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And overcome my inexperience
And I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And be the first on my block that does
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
Where they enlarge yer space
Take pity on the small ones
Don't cost ya very much
They seem to know their stuff
Take pity on the small ones
And overcome my inexperience
I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And be the first one on my block that does
everyone should have
I know it must look bad
They'd take me I can tell
For fingers and a toenail
And overcome my inexperience
And I wanna go to Brainville, let's get in
And be the first on my block that does
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
