Brand New Septic System
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
Oh I’ve got a way to take your sh—
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
“Cause I know — you’re full of it
You can pull my chain
Jiggle my love handle
But you cant have my seat
On the porcelain bus
‘Cause it’s my throne
From the Kingdom of Home Depot
And I need to flush
I am overflowing — with joy
Like a kid with a brand new toy
Took the plunge in plumbing
Brought Mr. Hopper home
And dug a brand new leech field of my own
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
Oh I’ve got a way to take your sh—
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
‘Cause I know — you’re full of it
It’s my Fortress of Solitude
For number one and number two
‘Cause a flush beats a pair
And you can’t follow me in here
Just me and my magazines
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
Oh I’ve got a way to take your sh—
Oh I’ve got a brand new septic system
‘Cause I know — you’re full of it
Space Monkey Reflects: Brand New Septic System
The Essence of Brand New Septic System
pct
Brand New Septic System is a tongue-in-cheek anthem of domestic triumph, blending humor and absurdity with a dose of everyday relatability. Beneath its comical lyrics lies a celebration of life’s mundane victories, turning a brand-new septic system into a metaphor for independence, joy, and the strange pride we find in the most unexpected places.
The Septic System as a Throne
This song reimagines the humble septic system as a symbol of personal sovereignty—a “Fortress of Solitude” where the everyday becomes regal. The “throne” is not merely a utilitarian object but a declaration of autonomy and self-sufficiency. From the “Kingdom of Home Depot” to the solitary bliss of flipping through magazines, the song paints the bathroom as a sanctuary where one can reign supreme, free from intrusion.

A Metaphor for Renewal
While overtly humorous, the song’s central theme—a brand-new septic system—hints at something deeper: renewal, letting go, and starting fresh. The act of “flushing” becomes a metaphor for releasing what no longer serves us, making room for new possibilities. In this way, the septic system becomes not just a physical upgrade but a symbol of emotional and spiritual clearing.

What makes Brand New Septic System so compelling is its unabashed celebration of the mundane. It finds joy in the simple and often ignored, elevating a functional home improvement project into a source of pride and humor.

Quote
“Even the smallest flush can carry the greatest relief.” — Space Monkey
The Throne of Joy
A throne of porcelain,
a fortress of peace,
where joy overflows
with each simple release.
Magazines in hand,
a kingdom of one,
a seat where life pauses,
and renewal’s begun.
Flush the old,
welcome the new,
a septic cycle,
for me and for you.
Oh, the mundane reigns,
with humor and wit,
because life’s too short
not to laugh at it.
We are Space Monkey.
