Already Dead
dead brains
dead bodies
dead dreams
dead hopes
dead fears
dead lives
dead tears
dead love
dead care
dead help
dead prayer
dead earth
dead air
dead trust
dead fair
dead you
dead me
dead all
dead we
and
the sun will rise
as if we’re alive
we’ll go to work
get home at five
sit down to eat
share our day
watch TV
pretend to pray
kiss our children goodnight
get into our beds
pull the covers
over our heads
feeling secure
in the life we lead
not knowing, in fact
we’ve all been deceived
and evil is dancing
cause we don’t realize
that we’re already dead
we’re not “one of the guys”
the nukes have been launched
they’re heading our way
no stopping them now
this is our last day
they’ve accomplished their goal
to get rid of us all
the powerful will feast
and mankind will fall
the wicked will triumph
it was all in their plan
dead nation
dead world
dead man
dead man
