After The Fallout

lyrics

Power isn't all it's cracked up to be
And here's a lesson you can learn
A little history
And this is a story all bout how
The whole damn world turned upside down
With just a little button press and then the silence came
And then everything on Earth just kind of went up in flames
And that's it
Time to roll credits
No time to go back and make another edit
But not everybody perished on that fateful day
In fact a lot of people went and hid themselves away
And then the years passed
And finally the dust settled
People peeking out prepared to test their mettle
But what they found out was that everything changed
And our once proud society was put to shame
So they set out
To find their own deliverance
But who knows if the planet had forgiven them

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart.

So what exactly happened all those years ago?
Well if you think about it
You'll know
That the governments
Of the Earth were struggling
See them on the television stammering and blubbering
Talking bout some ish that they wish that they could tackle on
And tensions increased from Bejing to Washington
Everyone was talking bout economies
And when the oil dried up
Then the armies started marching feet
War came
Shores of America
You could see the terror grasping the area
Whole nation
Hyped up in desperation
Looking for answers
Wishing for emancipation
Never came
Everything's a damn shame
Angry mobs looking out for someone to blame
Got people in the streets waving signs at the riot cops
This is what the world looked like when the bomb dropped

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart.

Deep underground
I can outlast the whole world
And I ain't coming out until the whole place burns
And you can never doubt when I'm creeping out
I bring the whole place down
Know what I'm talking bout?
Yes
I think it would be best
I you could blow the whole thing up and send the rest
To start to change their minds
Maybe we could do it this time
Well I doubt it
But hey, it's worth a try
And everybody on the left
Dead
And everybody on the right
Also dead
And maybe in a couple hundred years we can get up
And talk about it
How bad we fucked the shit up
Or maybe we'll still be exactly the same
And start again trying to figure out who's to blame
And who's the boss?
Write another stanza
Only thing we know is we all could stand up

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart.

The reliability of these findings has been verified.

Benjamin Bear has arrived.
