Mushroom Clouds

by Whiskey Autumn

on Modern Doubt (2019)

Whatever happened to the glory waxed from our youth?
Did we torch it with the car?
Yellow happy face rise and shine it's time to fake
A killer smile to get by
Hello spaceman
Houston called you home last night
Can't get it from the news
The story broke we're all confused
Truth is up and down not left or right
Take a coffee break
Caffeine nukes fire away
Mellow out in mushroom clouds
Your bumper sticker said, “The future freaks me out.”
Melting icecaps
Cancer rays
Sunday driving
Sweet escape
Common good devoured by fools
Who own all the wealth and build walls to trap you
Jackhammer through their cardboard spines
Separated church and state
Oh God bless the USA
Bomb our enemies to smithereens
And Flood! Flood! Flood!


Fire water blues
Frack it, torch it, light the fuse
Baby we've got oil to burn
Oh to be great again
Led to hell by old white men
Who abandon children to the wolves
Bow down on your knees, kiss the ring, dance and twirl
Melting icecaps
Cancer rays
Sunday driving
Sweet escape
Common good devoured by fools
Who own all the wealth and build walls to trap you
Jackhammer through their cardboard spines
