lyrics

It's been such a long time since we saw the sun
I suppose we've been avoiding stuff
Tinned food, drugs and a gun
Everything else is just fluff

Still keeping up with events
While working on our prison tan
The outside filtered in
Yeah you got your echo chamber and I got mine
We spun down the lies like a centrifuge
Pieced together something just before the deluge

It' s something more sickly
That we're facing
That comes with rain
Well that escalated real quickly
We're all here to share the pain we're gracing
(Fish in a barrel comes to mind)

It's been such a long time since we saw the sun
And if you don't drive faster... we'll see another one

[Time to put your foot down Allotrope
Make a break for a bunker
while we Drop The Bomb]

Forty years ago you wrote yourself a letter
About how maybe it's all for the better

Putting us out of our misery
Then the wall fell and our victory
Well now, here's to the end of history

And your little vacation
At least we know now why there's no mystery
About why they keep rerunning this Simulation

Let's break for that bunker
Let's break for the bunker

Our new prison cell together
We know why they keep re-running this simulation
We're not getting any younger
Let's try to get a little older
Before we're vaporized forever
