Lyrics
Metroland Is Burning
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.
They were looking for survivors
And now they're not
Try to stay together
These are the rules of the game
I've been waiting for you all my life
But they don't give a flying fuck about us
I've been drinking this since I was eight or nine
But they don't give a flying fuck about us
(Time to play the game)
I'm starting the fire
Metroland is burning
And God is here
You must start mutating
These are the rules of the game
I've been waiting for you all my life
But they don't give a flying fuck about us
I've been drinking this since I was eight or nine
But they don't give a flying fuck about us
(Time to play the game)
I'm starting the fire
(It's time to play the game)
I'm starting the fire
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, can you imagine it?
The escalator breathing in a hydra howl
Fame and the money and the power
You left the earth, you left us here to burn
These are the rules of the game
These are the rules of the game
These are the rules of the game
These are the rules of the game
What is Kevin on?
(Gotta know, gotta know, what I'm looking for)
What is Kevin on?
