Chimaera, by Bad Religion
you took a time bomb,
and a case of crackers,
and you made a maelstrom of organic debris,
then you took a work bench,
and a rusty anvil,
and you polished them for everyone to see,
you have created an unhealthy monster,
but you're nowhere but nowhere to be found,
so I guess I'll just cope with my provisions,
from now until the day they lay me down
you took a baboon,
and made him perfect,
you took a lion,
and stripped him of his pride,
then you took a million more varieties,
a scalpel and a sartory,
and you stitched up a horrible surprise,
you have created an unsocial monster,
and you're searched for all over the globe,

and most believe that things would sure be better,
if you'd come down here and tell us what you know
who is to blame for this?
someone tell me please,
his handiwork is flawed,
and it's there for all to see,
mutations, aberrations and blatant anomalies,
they multiply and give rise to this...monstrosity,
you took the most abundant smallest bits of matter,
and you instilled them with affinity,
and then you stratified accumulations,
weeded out bad variations,
and blended up your unique recipe,
you have created a powerful monster,
with direction and purpose all its own,
and if you were here,
would things be any different?
or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone?

Allows Doug to Create/Edit a "Monster."
This song follows the rule of "Equivalent Exchange" (See Full Metal Alchemist). He needs a source of parts, and/or an existing "Monster", for the song to have an effect, or the song backlashes in the usual manner.
As a side note He could use this song to "Kit Bash" a robot or Cyborg...

I've already got a song to kitbash a robot or cyborg. It was going to be used in DW5 until Chris and I started collaborating, it became unneeded. But I promise you that you will see it before the end of the Walk.
As for building a "monster"... hmm.

For that matter, when I saw the reference to building a monster, the chorus of a Don Henley song played through my mind:
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
Were building the perfect beast
(Building, building, the perfect beast)
But I like Manytales00's "Chimaera" idea. There's been all that talk about how a full-size Godzilla wouldn't fit into Doug's AOE -- this could give him a creature he can tailor to circumstances.

Big Brother is watching you.  And damn, you are so bloody BORING.

"Tailor" being the operative word. "Could you bring in the wings a bit?"
