Takeover
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.
I think the Russian's got a weather machine
I think they're planning a takeover scheme
Doin' a good job on our countryside
They want to be our friends, but it's an obvious lie
They buried New York and they drowned L.A.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll see the next day
I know the Russian's are behind this shit
No ones goin' to know it until it's too late
Takeover they're taking over
How long till they get everyone
Takeover they're taking over
How can we be so dumb
They asked us for our help to rip China down
They want to rule every city want to rule every town
I can't stand the thought of what might happen to us
I get so confused I don't know who I can trust
Takeover they're taking over
How long till they get everyone
Takeover they're taking over
How can we be so dumb
