Wrap me up in goldbeater's skin
Cover me in duralumin
Fill me up with hydrogen
And write my name on the side, six feet high in red
Fire in the sky
This could have been avoided
Fire in the sky
It's crashing. Horrible.
14 and 22
Oh the humanity

New Madrid
03:08

I remember, it was December first through fifth, 1990
We swore the New Madrid fault was gonna open right up and swallow us whole
Down to the bottom of the Earth
But nothing ever happens on a doomsday
Just ends up being like every other Tuesday
And if I gotta go to work, you gotta go to school
Don't act like the weight of the word is gonna shift from my shoulders to your feet violently
Nothing ever happens on a doomsday
Just ends up being like every other Tuesday
And don't believe a single thing that you hear on the local evening news about how you're gonna die
How we're gonna die: We're all gonna die at different times

Bury Me With My Gun
04:44
|
|

My love affair with you
It's time to follow through
We'll take the world by surprise
Protect the world from fear
Comfort everyone
Until the hand of fate steals it all from us
Shot to the heart, I did this to myself
I've got news for you...
I'm ready to fight and I'm ready to win
Shot to the heart, I did this to myself
My best gift to you is to bury me with my gun
I'm ready to fight and I'm ready to win
Winner of a losing game
It's time to bury me with the guilt of my invention

Everything Is Free

There they go with the goddamn ringtones again
Here I thought technology was my friend
There they go with the goddamn autotune again on every song
And now everything is free
MP3s for you and me
There they go with the goddamn lawsuits again
Didn't know Metallica still had any fans left, and they're making a zombie movie or something?
Who would watch that?
And now everything is free
MP3s for you and me
There they go again and again and again and again and again and again and again
And I'll keep buying it

Sinking Feeling
04:36
|
|

I have to admit this sinking feeling
I think my retirement starts tonight
My nerves, they're as cold as ice
This is my fate
These poor restless souls are doomed
Left to a watery grave
Precaution, it's a fleeting thought
I failed the world
I'd like to introduce you now
To your watery grave of cold
With history for a headstone
You'll never feel the gift of sleep
I've done the best I could
It will never be enough
Overwhelmed by stress and fear
It's just too much
I've done the best I could
I failed to see the consequence at hand
I leave you now with the orchestra
Playing until the end

Oregon Trail
04:50
|

You started down the trail with 5 pounds of food
You bought 10 bullets at the store
You chose to take a ferry across the river
You have reached Independence Rock
Your wagon tipped and you lost a tongue
You decided to hunt
An ox wandered off
An ox broke a leg
Zeke is sick with typhoid fever
Strong winds
Hail storm
Bad water
space bar, space bar
too late, you missed the deer
Everyone in your wagon has drowned
died
You’re burying and mourning the dead
You don't have three sets of clothing to give the Indian
You have died of dysentery
You found an abandoned wagon
but there was nothing to be scavenged

Just a Little Boy today
Smothering
You'll be a Fat Man in three days
Smothering
Big enough to pave your way, it's not enough
Turn men into shadows, it's not enough
Patterns across their backs, it's not enough
You make me sick, it's never enough
Fly into me
It's time to fly

Dressed up and overplayed
We’ve seen it all before, heard it all before
Broadcast emptiness
Cookie-cut and plastic wrapped
We’ve seen it all before, heard it all before
Broadcast emptiness
Sharp tongues cut razor deep straight into you
To steal your soul, to exploit your weakness
Well dressed leeches linger in the shadows of a bigger plan
To make a dime off nothing real
Soften up welcoming ears for a pile of shit
Soften up while they force feed you
Shame, shame for the web that’s spun around us
Shame, shame for what we’ve done
Broadcast emptiness
Dressed up and overplayed
We’ve seen it all before, heard it all before
Broadcast emptiness
Cookie-cut and plastic wrapped
We’ve seen it all before, heard it all before
Broadcast emptiness
And it beckons me to take a knife to the cash cow’s throat
Feed the starving ears of millions
They’ve been starved for so long
