Minimum Day

Remember when I saw a movie bout the rapture strange seventies, zombie movie schatology
One day the nonbilievers woke up to alarm clocks
Empty houses barking dogs
Half the human race was gone
Oh! The minimum day
The minimum day took them away
I left feeling terrified ripped me a new behind
What happens to the people on a plane if the pilot might spontaneously disappear
When it goes down for real
The motherless babies and a quixotic teenagers cry
Once upon a time
Even Tom needed a proof and Peter would sell you out
Deep down Judas was a sweet kid
James have the nerve to ask you for a vip
I look around and say
On my hands no I can't hide 'em on my knees
Might as well just lay down and die
Oh! The minimum day
The minimum day take me away
Now I'm all grown up
I see the scare tactic to get the kids to Obey
The grand inquisitor say a gun to the back make a happy man march
But Neil Young hit the mark with
Only love can break your heart
