about

Previously a hidden bonus track for those who downloaded the album, regardless if they paid for it. A cute bonus track about zombies, student loans, plane crashes, and how much I resent the Baby Boomer generation.

lyrics

It was an okay Tuesday
Not too cold, not too hot
We walked to the playground
And picked out our spot
And we sat on the swing set
As the wind and rain began
And the sky turned a shade of blood
As we watched the living dead

She said, "Hey, I recognize that guy
Being eaten by those ghouls."
And as a zombie ate his heart, she said,
"He did really well in school..."
And the zombies didn't care
About the fire as it spread
I asked, "Don't they feel the fire, too?"
And she said, "No, they are already dead."

We kept watch for angels
Descending from the sky
Turns out that part of Sunday School
Was mostly a lie
But we did see a big fancy jet plane
Crash into someone's home
We saw the old and dead devour the young
Leaving only the bones

I asked her if she was sad,
She said, "No, I'm really not...
I don't think it's giving up,
If you're never given a shot."
She asked, "What's the point of letting
Our childhood end,
Knowing we'll never own the houses
Our parents lived in?"

The sky cracked and swelled
As the earth began to shake
And she brushed off an ember and asked,
"How long's this gonna take?"
And a cop car drove past the playground
Screaming blue and red
She said, "Tomorrow's still laundry day..."
And we watched the world...
