lyrics

WORLD WAR III (DURING IT)

During WWlll
I remember turning green
‘Cause the mold we had to eat
Wuz ya brother in the street
During WWlll
It was harder enough to see
‘Cause the fragments in our eyes
Left us lightless by surprise

I remember when the local fields
that made our homes
were covered thick in roots
That’s when we knew no poot
But now we are lucky if it’s blue out
‘Cause all these pus clouds block the sky out
I’d be scared in every corner that I’d crwal in
Because the shadows hid the holes that I could fall in

During WWlll
On the run so constantly
That your legs became your thighs
All this time you’re asking WHY?
During WWlll
You were lucky if your plea
Made ya neighbors local news
They didn’t care they had no shoes

I remember when the grass much greener
than the soot that lies before me fed our roots!
Those days of care free newts
But now we are lucky if it’s blue out
‘Cause all these egg shells block the sky out
I’d be scared in every corner that I’d crawl in
Because the shadows hid the holes that I could fall in
During WWlll... During WWlll... During WWlll
All the local food stores now house bones
All the local food stores now house bones
During WWlll
