“(PART II) CALIFORNIA: NUCLEAR TESTING GROUND”

(C. DeCracken)

 

[atomic bomb samples; techno samples]

 

[guitar solo]

[whispered]

The dust swirls

The government tries to stop them

at their home base, our home

It’s no longer safe

We must move

 

Delaware!

[distortion] Delaware!

[hoarse distortion] Delaware!

 

It should have come to this

Our state of perverse oddity

We deserve this

 

We must make it to Delaware

where boy bands don’t sell out

and food stamps flow like honey

 

Is it really such a surprise

that we would destroy ourselves?

[m.b. They Live] It figures it would be something like this

 

The Kids' Cannabis Club

The Raging Shirtless Grannies

Hippies for Anarchy and Government Assistance

Anti-Work Equalists

Food Marriage Suffragists

Just one violation after another

until the structures would burst

 

We must make it to Delaware

Where all your dreams come true

and all your sins can be forgiven

[m.b. Nightbreed] A place where all your sins would be forgiven

 

[s.b. Spawn ep. 1] We all want to go home, but it’s war getting there

 

To destroy the machines

you need three things:

sunglasses, razor wire,

and corny one-liners

[whip and serration samples]

[m.b. Assault of Precinct 13 (1976)] He don’t stand up as good as he used to

 

[m.b. Commando] Let off some steam, Bennett

[Simpsons MacBane] Ice to see you

[m.b. They Live] Formaldehyde face

[s.b. Drug PSA] I’m not a chicken. You’re a turkey

[m.b. Trancers 2] Next time someone gives you an exploding ham, I’ll be sure to hold the mustard

[MST 3K Future War] Monsters in the hood

[m.b. Steel ] Eat the hot dog.  Don’t be the hot dog

 

[m.b. Susperia] Sssusie. Sssarah. I once read names that begin with the letter “s” are the names of snakes. Ssss

Nuuuh

Ssss

Nuuuh

Ssss

Nuuuh

 

[guitar solo]

Band, hide, run

 

[bass solo]

Hold up, scavenge, ration

 

[drums solo]

Fight, hunt, lose

 

[guitar solo]

Bury, cry, pray

 

[synth solo]

Break, heal, continue

 

We must make it to Delaware

The land where heaven was born

And civilization rose from existence
