Impending DOOM

from BAN the BOMB by Silas Be

/

lyrics

-The showdown with Iraq
is comin’ to you
from pay per view
They’re people too
-It ain’t no boxin’ match
Shit
They’re people too
-Saddam ain’t hungry
It’s the children
and their mothers
people too
-It’s the people
we’re about to blow
our whole arsenal
onto
-It’s like a fuckin’ festival
I can’t take it
This impending doom
-On the media,
the showdown
with the people too
on pay per view
-I ain’t buyin’ it
ain’t buyin’ it
are you?

-Sure Saddam is crazy
but Bush is too
What are we supposed to do?
-Maybe we should put ‘em
in a boxing ring
and let ‘em duke it out
on pay per view
-I would buy that
Would you?
-It’s better than letting them
duke it out
over acres of land
where there are people too
-’Cuz there is one thing about war
that you have got to know
The numbers in the death tolls
are people too
-It’s like a fuckin’ festival
I can’t take it
This impending doom
-I ain’t buyin’ it
are you?
-I ain’t buying this
impending doom

-There’s a place somewhere in time that
I want to go to when all of this is over
-It’s a calmly place with daffodils
and all the lakes are frozen over
-But it’s still warm outside. Oh yes
that means ice skating in the summer
-But the oceans are still wetter than ever
so good luck to all you surfers
-There are chips and salsa trees
China cola streams
Chapstick caterpillars
-The giraffes wear bell bottoms
and serve cocktails to you and your lover
-And you favorite music plays all day long
and fluxes with your mood meter
-Maybe these aren’t your favorite things
but it is my utopia..............it’s my utopia

-’Cuz there is one thing about war
that you have got to know
The numbers in the death tolls
are people too
-It’s like a fuckin’ festival
I can’t take it
This impending doom
-I ain’t buyin’ it
-I ain’t buyin’ it
ain’t buyin’ it
are you?
-I ain’t buyin’ it
ain’t buyin’ this
ain’t buyin’ this
impending doom
