lyrics

This is a story of a man on the edge
He loves his country and hes taken the pledge
Lives in a bunker on the far side of town
So he's prepared for when the shit goes down

Lives his life like he's out on the run
Concealed carry for his favourite gun
Target practice but its only for fun
Got Hollow points for when the zombies come

Chemtrails flying over his head
Doesn't believe what the government says
Thinks 9/11 was a flase flag plan
Thinks global warming is a Chinese scam

And somewhere up above
The Universe is calling out to him
But no-ones told the Aliens
To come and free us from our sin
But if the mothership should make a call
He'll make a stand and fight
Illegal aliens might come and take
His job away tonight

A terrorist could come and kill him tonight
Or North Korea with a nuke first strike
The men in black might come and take him away
Or Black Eyed kids might want to come in and play

This is a story of a man on the edge
He loves his country and hes taken the pledge
Lives in a bunker on the far side of town
So he's prepared for when the shit goes down

It is simply opulent, cosmic, yet personal, and even sensual. The production is top quality. Lucia has become one of my all-time favorite female vocalists in the past year. Her and Rob are brilliant artists! plainastralchurch
