Hurry Down Doomsday (The Bugs Are Taking Over) |
| The man in the corner of this picture has a sinister purpose |
| In the teeming temple of the railroad kings |
| Hes planting a trashy paperback book for accidental purchase |
| Containing all the secrets of life and other useless things |
| But I cant bring myself to look |
| Wake up zombie write yourself another book |
| You want to scream and shout my little flaxen lout |
| Hurry down doomsday the bugs are taking over |
| She sleeps with the shirt of a late, great country singer |
| Stretched out on her poor jealous husbands pillow |
| In time you can turn these obsessions into careers |
| While the parents of those kidnapped children start the bidding |
| For their tears |
| But I cant bring myself to look |
| Wake up zombie |
| Get yourself off the book |
| You want to scream and shout my little waxen lout |
| Hurry down doomsday the bugs are taking over |
| Forget about beethoven, rembrandt and rock and roll |
| Forget about mickey mouse, marlboro and coca cola |
| Forget about cadillac, mercedes and toyota |
| Forget about buddha, allah, jesus and jehovah |
| Hurry down doomsday the bugs are taking over |
| Any day now a giant insect mutation |
| Will swoop down and devour the white mans burden |
| Starting out with all of the sensitive ones |
| Better make like a fly if you dont want to die |
| Look out there goes gordon |
| But I cant bring myself to think |
| Wake up zombie |
| Kick up a big stink |
| You want to scream and shout my little saxon lout |
| Hurry down doomsday the bugs are taking over |
