Fire from the Sky
Every day I relentlessly ride the city train
All of the time I feel your eternal pain
What is the meaning of this life anyway?
Go on mister I feel lucky make my day
The sky is on fire with an everlasting glow
Missiles exploding don’t you know?
The world is at war with itself for sure
Whatever happened to my life so pure?
Give a low down sucker an even break
Don’t know how much more I can take
Another dreary day another dollar bill
Sick and bloody tired I have had my fill
Work your arse off just to barely survive
Hand to mouth brother that’s no jive
It doesn’t really matter much anymore
If you can’t hack it mate there’s the door
Looking at sad unhappy faces all the while
For god’s sake can someone crack a smile
In an endless dream nothing is as it seems
Trying to dodge aliens and laser beams
Here it comes a runaway galactic comet
Panic stations everywhere it’s gone atomic
Here today and then gone forever tomorrow
Mixed emotions laughter tears and sorrow
Everything you believed is a downright lie
What a way to die destroyed by fire from the sky
