Lyrics

Hiroshima

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Fags should be exterminated like in Hiroshima

That's what it said on the bathroom wall

Fags should be exterminated like in Hiroshima

That's what it said on the bathroom wall

And it seemed a bit extreme

And most unnecessary

'cause fags by definition

Tend mostly not to procreate

And therefore tend mostly

To exterminate themselves

But you're the one who wrote it, thank you

You're the one who wrote it, thank you

So here is the airplane

Please get on the airplane

All the fags have been gathered below

And here's the release lever

Please grip your hand around it

And later here's a shovel

To sweep away the ashes

And we'll need your decision

Just how you plan to handle

The survivors if any

The burned and the screaming

And by the way your brother prefers sex with men to women

Or did they forget to tell you

Fags should be exterminated like in Hiroshima

That's what it said on the bathroom wall

Fags should be exterminated like in Hiroshima

That's what it said on the bathroom wall

And you're the one who wrote it thank you

And you're the one who wrote it thank you

Words have power

Words have meaning

Words become things

And words become actions

So thank you for your words

Mr. Mein Kampf of the bathroom

And here is the airplane

And here's the release lever

And here is a shovel

To wipe away the ashes

And by the way your brother prefers sucking dick to pussy

Or did they forget to tell you
