Frankie McCabe - Bunker Party Lyrics

Was holding out for the big one
But it never did seem to come
Like I was sitting in the backseat asking
When the drive would be done
Began making my own f*cked up fun

While I was hiding out underground like I was a seed
I sprung up from the filth just like a weed
Taking what I could get thinking I was "free"
Giving away those pieces of me

Survival mode for suburbanites
Getting high on hope to get by
Hoping for better days but won't even try
Like it's not worth living this version of life

What I see in the mirror
Says "it's safer down here...
Stay in line and we're alright."

Mundanity
Insanity
Just another dead-end day for me
A bite to eat
Comfortable seat as the blood keeps running down the screen
I've been relying on these distractions
To keep me from obsessing
'Bout what I should've done, could've been
We chat about the latest devastation
Like it's just entertainment
Becoming human again

Hey have you heard
The end of the world
Is well on its way?
So what do you say...
That we just party like it's Mardi Gras meet's Y2K?
Pretend the pressure's off
Pretend this is it
It's always bullshit but we could use the excitement
The kind you can't find in a movie theatre
Each new wave of disclosure
Making fiction of the facts
Making sure that in time we'll all be warmed up to the plan
Compliant with each demand
"That's just the movies...You're crazy man."
Creating order, here to save the day, from chaos they orchestrate
Backstage, the new world awaits...

Can't seem to hear it
It doesn't matter how loud
Bloodthirsty spirit lurks behind a mushroom cloud
They're crawling outta the woodwork now
As the coast clears just let it all hang out
There's no need to hide what you're all about

Strings on our hands
Plasticized skin
Glass eyes can't see the mess we've made
Send out the Atom Bomb Dancers again
Come be part of the parade
