Heya Tom, it's Bob, from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Thing have been okay for me except that I'm a zombie now
I really wish you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise
If you open up the door
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's okay for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns
And then you'll have to make the call
I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you're working with me
I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am
I've got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
Know we'll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we'll table this for now
I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise
If you open up the door
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
Good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Thing have been okay for me except that I'm a zombie now
I really wish you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise
If you open up the door
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's okay for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns

We'll all come inside and eat your brains

The brains/eyes thing is a joke but the joke has meaning. It means that they won't stop you from seeing the world but they do want to control what you think of it as symbolized by the brain.
Xaq27 you wouldn't be dead you would be undead because you would be infested by the zombie mennace. Thats how zombie raids work. If it was a small group of zombies they wouldn't be hard to control and they certainly wouldn't be able to take over the world as portrayed in several zombie movies. They spread the infection. Thus their numbers grow and they become more powerful.
This isn't about seeing a certain amount in the song it is about noticing his comparisons and seeing what he is saying. If something is funny than it has to be saying something. That is how irony works. If there is no irony than it isn't funny. If there isn't meaning there isn't irony. It all starts with meaning that is how literature works.
Over-thinking it, much?
"If something is funny than it has to be saying something." Apparently you're not one for fart jokes, then.
"If there is no irony than [sic] it isn't funny." Actually, the vast majority of humor contains little or no irony.
To me, the humor is multi-faceted: first of all, how would an undead, brain-craving zed-word be capable of formulating the complex argument that Bob presents?
Secondly, the calling-out of many people's "zombie plans" - namely that they'll just hole up somewhere with guns and supplies and "ride out" the Zombie Apocalypse - which is logistically unsustainable.
And third, the notions that petty-minded office diplomacy requires so little brain power that one can be literally undead and still manage to be the Obnoxious Guy from Down the Hall, and that Being A Douche extends beyond the grave.
