lyrics

Verse 1: Nylon smeared blue across a fake blue sky
We lived too fast, too hard, it's time to die
Ain't nothin' left in our shallow pockets
Well, our eyes are gonna melt in their sockets

Ain't gonna be no more ball playin' on neighborhood streets
Gonna be a lot of sufferin', Gonna be a lot of shrieks

Chorus: Why'd they have to do it, Lord?
Why were they so blind?
Why'd they have to put an end to all mankind?

Verse 2: Blood spillin' on a fiberglass street
Gonna be burnin' flesh in nuclear heat
Gonna be dead skin hangin' from bones
Childrens' laughin' gonna turn into moans

Ain't gonna be no more money, ain't gonna be no style
Ain't gonna be no more young women fat with child

Chorus

Verse 3: Gonna be all kind of new tortures
Bakin' meat from hot hell scorches
Gonna scream and heave one last breath
All had to end in self-inflicted death

Junior won't be playin' in the yard no more, Grandma won't be in her chair
Ain't gonna be no more water, ain't gonna be no more air

Chorus

Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
