Ground Zero Brooklyn - Carnivore

Home watching Star Trek

everything’s o.k.

little do I know

Soviet missiles are on the way

the bastards set loose

the wardogs Tyr and Loki

weatherman’s predicting rain

but fire it’ll be Minutemen launching, Air-sirens haunting

Warheads detonating, Cremating

I’m living at — Ground Zero

I’m dying at

I’m burning at

I’m frying at From my bed I hear the sirens

screaming of foreboding

populous escaping highways overloading

bridge is down tunnel’s flooded

only got six minutes

head between my legs I kiss my balls goodbye

they’re finished

MX’s blasting, Skyscrapers crashing

Fallout liberated, We’re wasted

Jesus I beg of thee

don’t take my life

return me to the womb

from which I was torn

birth is a sin

and the punishment is death

I wish you had left me unborn

I shit my pants as I wait for the reaper

lie in fetal position

tears stream down my cheeks

as I call out for my mother

and say an act of contrition

we’ll fight this war with germs and atoms

destroy our only home

our mutated descendants battle the next

with sticks and stones

Are we not savages

innately destined to maim and kill?

blame it on the environment

heredity or evolution we’re still responsible

our intelligence may progress

at geometric rates

yet socially we remain belligerent neonates
