Sudden Death
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.
This world lies hidden from the truth inside a twisted dream
This war will have no heroes, everyone will have defeat
The fuckin' planet won't agree with the dictums of them all
All your comic book shitheads will fall
You're slipping
No use in living a world like this
Life a series of battles
We won't live to see
People running batshit crazy, naked on the streets
This war will have no heroes, everyone will have defeat
Why would any asshole wanna destroy the fucking earth?
The gods must think that living has no worth
The aftermath
Coughing up your charred lungs
Bodies strung in heaps
Napalm invades your system
Fallout has fallen on you
This world lies hidden from the truth inside a twisted dream
This war will have no heroes, everyone will have defeat
The fuckin' planet won't agree with the dictums of them all
All your comic book shitheads will fall
If people only start to realize
And think about
The chaos
The death
The victims
The hatred
The colons
The gizzard
The people
The world!!!
Then they might see
Do we stand a fucking chance?
Against military aid, God-fearing prom dates
Do we stand a fucking chance?
Against the nuclear fall, particles destroying all
Do we stand a fucking chance?
Against those hell gates and cute date rapes
Do we stand a fucking chance???
In the soul of all mankind, as we leave our lives behind
Memories of our hopes and dreams hear our prayers, hear our screams
Sudden death is all we'll see
Sudden death is you and me
Sudden death is nuclear war
Sudden death is here for sure!
Sudden death is all we'll see
Sudden death is you and me
Sudden death is nuclear war
Sudden death is here for sure!
Is there hope, is there freedom?
I don't know! I don't know!
Babies on the front steps?
I don't know! I don't know!
Is there peace or is there war?
I don't know! I don't know!
Cold cuts at your grocery store?
I don't know! I don't know!
We're done with hypocrisy and lies
We're screaming out, please hear our cries
Secrets (no!)
Chaos (no!)
Death (no!)
Rambos (no!)
Hatred (no!)
Victory (no!)
Slavery (no!)
Bravery (no!)
War (no!)
Sudden death!
